Powerful words from a truly inspirational woman, that is always speaking the truth and bringing forth important ideas into the dialogue of the times, Tara Sophia Mohr:
“If the angels could have sat you down for a chat when you were on the way in to this life (among some other comments about love, fear, and your glory), they might have said this:
“Now, my dear, a little context: you are entering into a transitional time.
“The past: A world led, designed and defined by men.
The future: A world led, designed and defined by women and men.
The present: The transition. Yes, we’ve put you on the transition team.“What’s so tricky to understand, dear one, is that as a woman of this transitional time, what is inside of you will be very different from what is outside of you. What you have to bring into the world will be very different from what you see before you as the status quo of the world. Yet what you have to bring forth is not crazy or wrong. In fact, it’s just what the world needs.
“It’s as if the world is all purple and you and your sisters are going to bring in the yellow. Or as if it’s blue and you are going to bring in the red.
“That means that whether you signed up for it or not, you will be a revolutionary. You will be a revolutionary whether you love that idea or whether you’d prefer to just do your thing quietly to be a teacher, a nurse, a doctor, a businesswoman, an artist, a mom, a grandmother, a volunteer, an entrepreneur.
“You will be a revolutionary because any woman who is being authentic in her work will bring forth ideas and ways of working that run counter to the status quo of her company, industry, community, a status quo defined by masculine values and masculine ways of working.
“The angels might have added this: ‘So if you ever start to doubt or hold back or silence yourself because the questions you have, the ideas in your mind, or the way you work are so different from the status quo, remember that difference is exactly what is meant to be. You are here to bring forth a different way.’
“It’s the hard and thrilling work you get to do this time around. It’s the ‘women’s work’ of our particular moment in history.
“You don’t have do the whole work, but you are asked to do the slice of that work that has been given to you.
“Now, before you exclaim that you just don’t know what that slice is, or panic because you don’t have time or bandwidth for anything extra, let’s remember: this isn’t work that takes additional time. This is work about how you live each moment of your life.
“And this isn’t work you have to go find or discover. It’s the work that is right in front of you, in the ways you feel called to speak, to act, to reinvent, to heal in the imperfect, messy situations you find yourself in right now. Your piece of the work is already whispering to you if not talking to you loudly yet. It’s the ideas in your mind and heart right now.
“You are only asked to not stop up those things in you that most want to be expressed. If you let them flow forth, you will have done your revolutionary work, and you will have done it beautifully.
“You don’t need to do it alone, though sometimes you might feel like you are alone. You walk on this path with a world of women who are surviving on the rocky ground of this world while also changing it to a richer, healthier soil. If you look for it, you will start to see all around you this shared path of the women in your midst, each working to bring forth a different way to some aspect of the world.
“Know this: you are blessed in this work. Every step of the path you walk in this work has been blessed and blessed and blessed again before you traverse it. The angels are giddy, for they love love, and they can see the world that you are enabling to come into being.”

It is easy to panic and wonder where we fit in to this revolutionary time. Thank you for reminding us that this gift is not which is sought after, rather an internal light we must let shine forth. The work is whispering to me now, I keep listening and acting upon what I hear and the voice grows louder. The angels are giddy” <3 we are helping the rocky road turn to fertile soil… ahhh blessings, thank you so much.

As a revolutionary mother I would like to see the young boys and young men included in this beautiful message, because we are to transition in a world truly for women and men, and they need to feel INCLUDED. Let us work WITH

I would like to know when and where there are gatherings of this sort for us to come together, share and develop our gifts as well as empower others. To behold the rise of ones higher selves, to be in our purest form and stand in our truth.

just to play devil’s advocate a little bit…i dunno…doesn’t this position still pit women as the arbiters of change? when are we going to start talking about reteaching men to destroy the socialization of the patriarchy instead of just accepting that the women will have to do this “revolutionary” work? when are we going to start calling to men to tell them that they as well have duties and responsibilities in this transitional time? most women know they are revolutionaries already because yes they are already forced to work within a system that is oppressive to them…so instead of placing more responsibility on them i think we all really need to figure out a way to include men in this dialogue….i do appreciate any effort to empower women though…because that is just beautiful on its own :)

Both genders are doing soul work at this time of transition.. I believe that the more women are in touch with their intuition and feminime power, the more they inspire both women and men to transform and vibrate from a higher frequency. It is not our duty to take sole responsibility of changing conditioned ideas and beliefs, but it comes naturally without force when we are in touch with ourselves and nature. Once the seed of awareness has sprouted, the truth cannot be hidden <3
r-evol-ution, it begins with love <3

for me, whether it seems fair or not, women are community builders by nature. that work seems to always be feminine. that being said, for Jessie to bring the conversation of inclusion is necessary. We are raising sons (and partners at times…) I sent this to every woman in my email list :) I thought this was incredibly inspiring.
Thank you LOVE
