Yes, I stole the line from a great song – but its point is perfect. Your feminist mother is telling you that you are both a miracle and a collection of particles – both supernatural and small –both amazing and simple -both unique and ordinary, both full of potential and insignificant.

As a miracle you are an individual with all the uniqueness that makes up YOU.

You don’t need external validation or perfection or experience or proof or anything to support this – YOU ARE A MIRACLE.  YOU are enough just as you are.

Believing and accepting that you are the person you are with all the little quirks and weird bits that make you tick is actually the foundation for a great life.

And you are made up of particles.

The same particles, a complex, cosmic chemical reaction, having come from and going back to the earth. And so this means equality and connection can exist between us all leaving no place for arrogance, superiority or entitlement to gain ground. In fact, knowing how insignificant you are gives you the greatest freedom to be who you are.

Consider it the greatest mystery, a bit like ‘the first shall be last and the last shall be first’, meaning you become the best and most significant self when you aren’t thinking too much about how to be someone. YOU ARE SOMEONE already.

Feminist mum says think about this and any time you are challenged by life sending messages of shame or inadequacy, PUSH BACK you ARE a miracle and you ARE enough. You have already proved it.

Cheers to you, driving change on the freeway of love
