It appears to be an opportune time to bring about the
ideals, intentions, and positive attitudes of those interested in representing
peace, equality, and respect.
In honor
of International Women’s Day, I have
a personal desire to raise awareness regarding PEACE over Conflict, and I’d like to take a fun, insightful moment
to feature the Real Isis, rather than the current campaign promoting chaos and conflict.
{ If you
are with me, feel free to promote #GoddessIsis
and #IsisTheGoddess in your social
media so folks can gain some awareness, and together we can re-focus her
revered name on the feminine power to which she is connected! }
While we
are at it, let’s take a stroll down Isis lane.
We shall begin with the historical representation of Isis as a Goddess - the strong, wise, female
archetype with which I believe most of us are familiar and a model for ladies
of today to aspire to in terms of determination, respect, and feminine
power.
Let’s fast
forward to the 70s when a TV show, The
Secrets of Isis, re-ignited
a love, awareness, and respect for Isis. Her ideology is brought forth through
a talented science teacher who comes into possession of a powerful artifact
that connects her to the inherent powers and wisdom of the Goddess. If you have not seen any episodes, you’ll love
these! How fun it is to reminisce…. Check
out all episodes
if you are feeling so inspired.
We can stroll ahead to the current time and check out
the most recently launched model of the Toyota Isis. To be honest, it is only available outside of
the USA, but it’s still fun to recognize!
While you are at it, you can visit the official Toyota Japanese
site to check out the newest version of this ride.
I
personally enjoy focusing on these
fun versions of Isis.
To come
back full circle and wrap up my thoughts regarding the idea of peace, I wanted
to make a bit of a contribution to the events slated for International Women’s Day
with a focus on peace.
My dear
friend, Blanca Dominguez (founder of Ecotourism for the Soul), and I are
hosting a special, PEACE PRAYER FOR THE SOUL, a collaborative
peace-focused reflection, prayer, and nine-day novena to co-occur in Austin,
Texas, and in Colombia and Mexico. We will feature a daily set of prayers and reflections for the next 9 days. If you want to
connect with us to help set forth peaceful wishes and intentions, you are most
welcome to do so! Join us virtually (Facebook event in English or join in Espanol) and share your thoughts regarding the amplification of peace in the world. You can even post your comments below this
blog post. J We hope to see you there!
#PeacePrayerForTheSoul. It starts today!
Even if you
are unable to attend any live events, why not focus some time during the week
to envision what it means to celebrate women and the important role they play
in today’s society? Spark your creativity and let your ideas flow forth in a
poem, draw or sketch a picture that depicts the beauty of the feminine, write a
blog post to inspire a fellow lady, or share a cute photo on Instagram about
all of us ‘sisters’ who are all in this together. Ladies, like the motto says, Make it Happen!
You might
be excited to see what is to occur……
Please
check out the International Women’s Day site to see the amazing events that women have coordinated and become inspired by some recent news stories and image compilations featuring the subject.
