We are women and we are strong and we are beautiful.

We are the daughters of a thousand generations past and a thousand generations to come.

We are soft and silent, powerful, and moving.

And as we breathe so does the wind blow.

And as we cry so does the river run.

And as we heal so does the Mother Earth heal.

We are women and we are strong and we are beautiful.

We have the precious gift of giving life and we are blessed with healing powers.

We love and those who are in our lives are touched by this.

We laugh and joy spreads throughout the land.

We make love and our lovers become weak with pleasure. And there is nothing, no – nothing that can stop the Abundance of the Universe from flowing through our bodies to reach out to all who enter our lives.

We are women and we are strong and we are beautiful.

And today, we have begun the journey homeward – to peace and love and joy like we’ve never known.

Never again will our children be afraid of dying by someone else’s hand.

Never again will our Mother be poisoned through carelessness and greed and, never again will the power of hatred rise above the power and strength of Universal Love.

We are women and we are strong and we are beautiful.

We are the threads of light that feed the hungry, clothe the naked, and shelter the homeless. We are the threads of light that open our hearts to the Abundance of Universal Love, Light, and Healing, and by doing so change the fate of our worlds.

We are the threads of light that choose to love instead of hate, laugh instead of cry, have courage instead of fear, and choose to make a difference, a positive difference in this world.

For we are Women and we are Strong and we are Beautiful.
