A Swan Sitting in the Mud

Remarkable thing I saw this morning. A snow white swan sitting in the mud. The marshland in which she sat would normally be flooded with water. But today, this morning at 8:30 must have been low tide. Miss Swan must have decided not to be deterred by a lack of water and perched her pristine butt in the mud. I could not help but think how apt an image she presented. Sometimes you just don't give a shit, you just wanna sit down.

Speaking of kickass women, I've been reading a book titled Mama Gena's Marriage Manual: Stop Being a Good Wife, Start Being a Sister Goddess. The author, aka Regena Thomashauer offers a refreshing take on relationships. It's not all about HIM. It's about you. So be the happiest, sexiest, most fulfilled woman you can be and your relationship will thrive. Here's a quote from the publisher:

So, you found yourself a man. You owned him, you operated him, you dragged him back to your cave and married him -- and now you can't remember why you wanted him! Not to fear, because celebrated relationship expert Regena Thomashauer has returned, ready to turn the walking, talking, care-taking coma that is your marriage into a hot, juicy celebration of love and life.

One of the recommended steps in the Manual is to meet regularly with a group of women to conduct a Sister Goddess Date. Which is, as you might guess a gathering of femmes for no other reason than to celebrate each other. Happily taking this advice, a group of friends have set our first Sister Goddess Date, during Easter, no less! Should be a hoot.
