THE WILD ONES -

Navigating through life's tumultuous seas, I came to realize that the challenges we face are not just physical or emotional battles but also spiritual wars. Each obstacle is a battleground where fear, doubt, and despair clash with hope, faith, and resilience. The mantra "Well-behaved women seldom make history" became not just a guiding light but a battle cry in my spiritual warfare, a declaration of my determination to fight for my voice, my truth, and my place in history.

The Power of Spiritual Warfare in Empowerment

Spiritual warfare, in the context of my journey, became the framework through which I understood my battles. It was a war not against flesh and blood but against the principalities and powers that sought to silence me, to keep me "well-behaved" and compliant. When I decided to carve my own path, starting a blog was the obvious choice. It wasn't just about sharing my passion for skincare—a subject close to my heart—it was about creating a platform for empowerment.

My blog, my canvas of self-expression, became a stronghold in this spiritual war—a place where I could wield the sword of truth and the shield of faith, sharing my story not just as a testament to my struggles but as a beacon of hope for others facing their own spiritual battles. Each post, each story, each vulnerable admission was a strike against the forces that sought to keep us silent, invisible, and compliant.

Visibility and the Impact of Stories

The importance of visibility cannot be overstated. When we choose to share our stories, our struggles, and our triumphs, we illuminate the path for others. We show that it's possible to break free from the expectations that bind us, that hold us captive, to live authentically, and to make our mark on history.

Historian Laurel Thatcher Ulrich, who coined the phrase "Well-behaved women seldom make history," highlighted that many women's contributions have been overlooked simply because history has not been good at capturing the lives of those whose contributions were local and domestic. Her work underscores the importance of recording and sharing our stories to ensure that future generations recognize the diverse and impactful roles women have played throughout history.

The Journey of Overcoming Challenges

Viewing my personal challenges through the lens of spiritual warfare transformed my narrative into one of victory and empowerment. It's a reminder that well-behaved women, those who conform and stay silent, seldom make history. But those of us who engage in the spiritual battles, who armor ourselves with faith, resilience, and the power of our stories, do not just make history—we transform it.

We are the warriors of light in a world that often seems shrouded in darkness. Our battles, both seen and unseen, are the forge in which our spirit is tested and our resolve is strengthened. Let us then march forward, not as well-behaved women, but as fierce warriors of faith and empowerment, rewriting history with every step we take.

By sharing our stories and standing firm in our truth, we create a ripple effect that inspires and empowers others to do the same. Together, we can break the chains of silence and compliance, paving the way for a future where every woman's voice is heard and valued.

I’ve talked a lot about my struggles. We walk this earth together; not one of us is free of suffering. Every day, we have a chance to make a difference, to choose to get out of our stories that keep us stuck. It’s not just about women—it’s about all of us as a collective.
