These Boots Were Made 4 Walking ...

I was recently at a shopping mall and every woman I saw was wearing boots. I stood next to an elderly woman, who must have been in her late eighties, and I noticed that she was wearing knee high, black leather boots. I wanted to high five her and say 'you go, girl.' Women of all ages, were boldly walking in their boots. I had boots on too and I know it's the style now but I was surprised at how many women have adopted the style this year. I know they're comfortable and warm but there is more to this.

We are experiencing a new influx of feminine power and feel stronger, more confident and aware of our power. With boots our 'soles' are protected from harm and we can walk with confidence in places that our high heeled pumps can't take us. With boots we can walk through the muck of life without worrying about getting our feet too dirty. As the song goes, 'boots are made for walking.'

Yet there is another message we must hear as we enjoy the power our new boots give us and that is to remember the nurturing, gentle nature of the feminine. In lifetimes past women have ruled the world and over time, they were as imbalanced and controlling as men have been in our recent memory. Just because we have boots does not mean we also have the power to walk all over everyone in our path.

I welcome the new feminine energy; it is time for women to speak up, to reclaim their power and to remember that they have an equal role in the world. But there is as much power in the feminine as there is in the masculine and even greater power when they are used in balance. We can confidently wear our boots and let them take us anywhere we want to go as we remember that it is when we use the highest expressions of an energy that we create the highest and greatest good for ourselves and for everyone.
