At the Threshold of Womanhood

I am so thankful to our dear friend Kendra who shared this with Anna last fall for her 18th birthday. What perfect words to pull out again now. 



At the Threshold of Womanhood

May you enter beautifully into the feminine, 

Learning to trust the world of feeling you inherit,

 Finding ease and elegance in all you are.

 

May your respect for your beauty 

Become visible in your dignity 

And how you hold yourself in the world.

 

May the expectation in other eyes 

Never decide how you are to be; 

Learn to trust the advice of your heart.

 

May you feel life as an irresistible invitation 

To discover and develop your talents, 

Each day bringing something new to birth.

 

May you have friends who can see you. 

May your senses be windows of wonder 

And your mind a prism of spirit.

 

-John O Donahue
