Reblogged from Tameri Etherton:
I hope you all were able to stop by August McLaughlin's blog last week to read the many inspiring, funny, and empowering stories women and men posted on The Beauty of a Woman Blogfest. If not, then hop on over there after you read today's post.
A few weeks ago, the immensely talented and beautiful Julie Catherine Vigna posted a poem on her blog that fits with the BOAW blogfest so well, I asked her if I could reprint it here for you to enjoy.
Thank you so much, Tameri, for the lovely post you created around my poem, Essence of Woman, and for sharing with your readers - I'm honored and thrilled by your kindness! ~ Julie xoxox

Great poem you share on the site, Julie! Your poetry often takes away my breath as my eyes travel from line to line while my mind travels to new ideas and imagery. ((hugs)) and wishing you a pain-free day as much as possible. xx
Awww, thank you so much, Christy; what a lovely compliment on my poetry! I’m truly grateful that you enjoy my work so much, my friend. I’m still not feeling very well today, and plan to just rest as much as possible this weekend. Wishing you a wonderful day! Love and hugs xoxox
