About a year ago The Wild Woman Sisterhood began showing up on my Facebook Feed. They post at least two graphics a day that depicts strong women in a natural element or gathering with other women. They show women as earthly, with universal beauty, and a celestial light that shines outward. Wild Woman Sisterhood is about the strength and power of women as a collective sisterhood and all that binds us together. The site has a touch of Native American, Celtic, and “Celestial Being” inspiration to it. Tara Isis is the founder, and she has created a compelling vision.
I have probably shared more of Wild Woman Sisterhood’s post on my personal Facebook page than any other. The images and quotes about finding inner strength, beauty, power, wisdom, freedom, self-care, and sisterhood are dynamic reminders to be our authentic selves.
We are bombarded every day with marketing messages of how we should look, how much we should weigh, what we should wear, how we should spend our time, and how imperfect we are in our current state. The message I hear from Wild Woman Sisterhood is that I am whole and I have something unique to offer. It reinforces my belief that I should live my best life and beat my own drum.
The other message in her work is to support each other as women. Tara’s Isis’ work began before the #MeToo Movement and celebrity support of women’s voices. She felt the universal call and set out to share her vision with others. I follow her feed, but I have not participated in any of her events or taken any of her classes, but her declarations still have a shining impact on my life. She has no intimate knowledge of this unless she happens to read this post.
The lesson here is that when we share our authentic self and follow our passions, we will enrich our life and the lives of others along the way. I challenge you to create in new ways and share it with others, write, draw, paint, dance, sing, sew, build sand castles, take pictures, bake, decorate, or whatever you feel like doing. You may never become a master of the art, but you can let the art be a vehicle of expressing your inner beauty, and authentic, imperfect self. The world needs you and your gifts. What will you share?
