Every Woman Visionary: I AM A SPIRITED WOMAN (And, So Are You!)

Nancy Mills

I think it started when I was six. I was gifted with an Annie Oakley skirt. I walked around the house (strutted, if truth be told) in my bright red velvet skirt with white fringe and all sorts of pockets filled with fake guns, shouting, “Bang, bang,” to shake things up. Wake things up. Just bring me some type of action!

Thus began my career as a Spirited Woman. That inner-Annie has stuck with me my whole life – you might say I channeled her essence or she channeled mine – and together, we decided to ride off into the land of Spirited Womanhood.

Well, it didn’t exactly happen quite that way. Along the journey, there were many bumps, obstacles, challenges, careers, family issues, fears, self-esteem concerns and on and on. But I always dusted myself off (no matter how long it took) and through my unstoppability (a big Spirited Woman characteristic), I persevered.

And I have to ask you this: Don’t you feel that you are unstoppable too? I feel that each one of us is born with this inner-spirit. This inner-passion. This inner-fire. This inner-something that propels us forward no matter what. Sure, there are days when the pilot isn’t lit. The fuse feels burned out. But, I am here to tell you that is only temporary.

We are all born with that spirit within us. It is free. It is there. And it is ours.

Every woman on this planet is born a visionary. YOU have gifts beyond your wildest imagination. To help others. Change the world. Make a difference.

As the founder and creator of Spirited Woman, one of the leading and longest lasting women’s empowerment communities in the world – I’ve seen the genuine universal power of women. The collective energy and support and the ability no matter what the culture to tap into your essence.

Beyond a doubt, I feel that women are coming into a time where they are not only aware of what they can do, but they are being energized and inspired by each other’s stories. The power of women’s stories is immeasurable and limitless. That is the primary reason why we created The Spirited 2012 Directory: Resources for an Inspired Life!  It is a digital on-line Directory that is free, and filled with stories by women from six countries and over 25 states.

I always say, “Look around you.”   You never know who is standing next to you in the grocery store check-out line. That woman, that every woman visionary, the one with her two kids in hand, could be an award-winning researcher, leading the fight to find a cure for cancer. You just never know.

So, as I wrap up this blog post, I’d like to salute your spirit. And may YOU continue to change the world, one Spirited Woman step at a time.

Bang. Bang.
