"Oh she takes care of herself. She can wait if she wants. She's ahead of her time. Oh and she never gives out. And she never gives in. She just changes her mind..."
-- Billy Joel's "She's Always A Woman To me" 
Imagine a woman who believes it is right and good she is a woman. A woman who honors her experience and tells her stories.
Imagine a woman who believes she is good. A woman who trusts and respects herself. Who listens to her needs and desires and meets them with tenderness and grace.
Imagine a woman who has acknowledged the past’s influence on the present. A woman who has walked through her past. Who has healed into the present.
Imagine a woman who authors her own life. A woman who exerts, initiates and moves on her own behalf. Who refuses to surrender except to her truest self and her wisest voice.
Imagine a woman in love with her own body. A woman who believes her body is enough, just as it is. Who celebrates her body and its rhythms and cycles as an exquisite resource.
Imagine a woman who celebrates the accumulation of her years and her wisdom. Who refuses to use precious energy disguising the changes in her body and life.
Imagine a woman who values the women in her life. A woman who sits in circles of women. Who is reminded of the truth about herself when she forgets.

Miss Maru… to quote my ultimate idol, John Lennon:
“Woman I can hardly express, My mixed emotion at my thoughtlessness, After all I’m forever in your debt,
naaalala ko kasi yung piktyur mong namumungay ang mata. hahaha! salamat bro, for making me smile.
And woman I will try express, My inner feelings and thankfulness…”
MARU: huwaw taroogs! pero bakit kaya natatawa ako tuwing nakikita ko name mo?
