Postcards from Ulysses

This is the first in a series of posts celebrating the power of feminine energy at work in our world.  I am trying to turn around the meaning of “cherchez la femme.”  People often use it in a sense that acknowledges the power of the feminine, but in a negative way, as if looking for the Woman behind the scene means looking for the source of the “problem.”  Instead we can look for miraculous feminine energy that works through us every day, men and women alike, and which, in the form of some remarkable women who allow themselves to serve as grand vehicles for it, contributes to possible solutions for the messes we have created, as well as facilitating the evolution of humanity.  These are not “extraordinary” women in the ordinary sense.  Rather, they exemplify the truly extraordinary nature of every woman you meet.  Therefore, not everyone here will be a Nobel Prize winner or an Olympic gold medalist (though such gals are not excluded).  The idea is to look with sensitive eyes and see how all of us can cultivate more respect and more space in our lives for what these women embody.

This weeks fab femme is Laurie Marker.  She has probably done more to save cheetahs than any other single human alive.  You can learn about Laurie Marker, her Work, and the story of the cheetah by checking out this great story from Smithsonian Magazine.
