Fire In My Eyes: New Moon Poem & Journaling Inquiry

by | Dec 3, 2021 | Heart-Centered Leadership, WILD WOMAN | 27 comments

Dear One, 
 
How’s your heart this New Moon? 
 
I have a treat for it ♥️, for you: a poem of self-love, respect & celebration written by the phenomenal wild woman poet, singer, dancer, activist, mother: Maya Angelou. 
 
Feel free to make yourself cozy & join me, as we revel in the spirit and style of this mighty Soul. 
 
We’ll be sure to end with a New Moon journaling prompt too! Let’s see what we find… 
 
Your Turn: 
Write your own verse, using Maya Angelou’s Framework: 
“It’s in the _ of my _.
The ___ of my __.
The __ of my __. 
The _ of my ___.
 
I am a woman
Phenomenally
Phenomenal woman, 
that’s me.”
 
Here’s mine: 
 
It’s in the howl of my laugh
The warmth of my gaze 
The words that I choose 
The way I spend my days. 
I am a woman phenomenally. 
Phenomenal woman, 
That’s me. 
 
Please share yours in the comments below! 
 
 Can’t wait to read them & celebrate you. ♥️

    It’s in the lump in my throat,
    The tear of my eye,
    The pain of my brain,
    The heart of my sigh,
    I am a woman
    Phenomenally.
    Phenomenal woman,
    That’s me.

    Not having the best of times right now, but on my way up and out…

      The goddess inside

    It’s in the glint of my mane,
    The hearth of home in my chest,
    The quiet of my gaze,
    The snow swells of my breast.

    Phenomenal woman,
    That’s me.
