Next Tuesday I will celebrate my 40th birthday. It's significant for a number of reasons, but none mean as much to me--after time and thought and reflection--as a vow I will be making. Well, you can call it a vow, or a promise, or any such wording.
Before the Powers and the Great Mother and a host of spirit witnesses, I am pledging myself to a celibate life from this point forward.
Technically I've always been celibate, but this is something different. I am embracing that part of me who is a woman unto herself, a Diana among women, a realization that I am a temple and I pledge to keep that temple to myself and for myself. I am saying that having passed through a life of romance and heartbreak, I will be dedicating my life to my work and to my causes.
It's not denial. It's not prudery. It's an affirmation of myself and for myself.
