Aphrodite soul sisters.

I have a serious crush on the Internet. I've heard so many people straight up diss social networking sites like Twitter and Facebook. However, I embrace them the same way my peanut butter hugs the chocolate in my ice cream. I have recently began to use Twitter to share Fem Chic with the world. At the end of every little Twitter image is a real life human being. I swear it's true! Honey Twitter is not run by robots, it's run by humans, like you and me. I have connected with some really inspiring people across the world I may have never even met! I've even introduced people to one another this way and now they are sharing ideas. Hot diggity dogg ya'll....abundance is in full effect. Some people call this technology, I call it magic.

Below is an excerpt from Robin O'Donovan who I've recently connected to. I checked out her blog, A robin's View, and was immediately drawn to her writing style. She has a way of whispering truth to me and you know I dare not be selfish...I must share Robin with all of my Fem Chic loves.

"Aphrodite is known for multitasking and has many gifts, but this one word sums up her purpose. She is the Goddess of Love in its many forms and is present whenever souls connect. She is a healer of hearts.


I think it’s important to honour this archetype because she has the power to transform what is mundane into something beautiful. Give Aphrodite a seed and she’ll create a colourful garden or perhaps even a baby. She will weave magic with whatever materials she has. Whether creating art, dancing, singing, or adorning her body, Aphrodite is full of self-expression. She also invites us to open ourselves to the sensual pleasures life has to offer.


Is it possible to cultivate this archetype? She is more developed in some women than others, but we can all welcome Aphrodite into our lives.


For instance, tomorrow I intend to focus more on my senses. If it continues to rain, I might shift my attention away from my longing for the sun and instead tune in to the way cool drops feel on my skin. I’ll continue my search for beauty in everyday experiences. I'll pick purple Irises from the garden and place them in a pretty vase on my table. Maybe I’ll be more attentive when my children speak to me; I'll hug them tighter, hold them longer. If I had a partner, I'd show him some love too. Until I meet my special someone, I'll continue to love and relate to myself. I'll seek soul food and try to satiate my voracious appetite. Perhaps I’ll have fresh seafood tomorrow, indulge in scallops. When I teach Latin dance in the morning, I’ll enjoy giving my hips an extra wiggle! After class, I'll sit in the sauna and take pleasure in the way my muscles feel when they relax. Whatever I do, it will be done with passion, in the spirit of alchemy.


I hope you will invite Aphrodite and her many soul sisters into your life too! The magic awaits…"
