]]> Comment on February is "Kick-Ass Me Month" by Peg Robinson http://liveandleap.com/blog/2010/02/february-is-kick-ass-me-month/comment-page-1/#comment-39 Peg Robinson Tue, 09 Mar 2010 19:01:13 +0000 http://www.liveandleap.com/blog/?p=132#comment-39 Nelson mandala in his 5/10/94 inaugural speech said "our greatest fear is that we are poweful beyond easure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us...Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?" I do not think it is a specifically a womam's plight. It is suffered by anyone with an absence of faith, and a surfeit of negative signals from the world.

As a generation we have managed to redefine the culture all along the way - let's do it one more time and take back our own wondrousness. Thanks for the on target insight. Am reposting wherever I can. This truth needs to be repeated over and over.

I seem to have that robust life life now at 60, even if I have shifted the definitions a bit. I feel fully engaged with lfe right now. I'm a business woman and an artist, a lover and a grandmother, and a seeker of others who have a taste of this path, no matter their generation or gender. It seems to me that some younger people, including that self of mine on the bridge 40 years ago, don't have any sense of history, a continuum, generational advantages or the inexorable march of time and have compartmentalized their very existence and what is important based on the unrelenting pressure of media images about who is viable. If anything, I would like for us to discover some sort of generational bridge so we all could be valued for who exactly we are. Do we as older women have an "image problem"? Maybe so - and I can't make recommendations on how to overcome it. I am convinced that if I keep engaged with life that in my small circle that includes a younger generation of women, maybe I can keep surprising them everytime I climb on my moptorcycle, produce a painting, or offer stories and counsel from my past. Maybe we don't need a mantra to be visible; maybe we need a swagger.
