What would your Goddess do?


I am still riding high from the amazing first party we had last Feb. 20. The Dance Loft was crackling with good vibes and female energy from the 4 unbelievable ladies who attended.

One particular woman, Britt Michaelian, said something to me that night that I'll never forget. Complimenting our little setup, she said "this reminds me of Sheila Kelly's S Factor, where they really encourage you to let out your feminine energy and reveal your Goddess."

First of all, since Sheila Kelly's S Factor is one of the most popular all-female movement classes in the country, this is incredible praise. But it really got me thinking about what a larger role our company and others like us play in the development of women. I really want Footsie SF to be more than a fun thing you can do with your friends. If a woman can come to our boudoir parties, and leave feeling like we've given her some freedom to let it all go, free to be a woman, free to be a GODDESS - then I will consider this company a success.

Too often, we (women) are so swamped with kids, work, chores, the Significant Other, office politics, the gym, and everything else - that we forget, somewhere inside our aching feet or rumbling tummies, that a Goddess awaits.

If you had nothing to lose and only had a day to let your Goddess out, what would that Goddess do? Would she be a moonlit hunter like Diana? A fleet-footed athlete like Nike (and the rest of the amazing women currently in the Olympics)? Or would you be a creature of pleasure like Aphrodite? A font of wisdom like Athena?

I think mine would immediately take off for a warm beach, swim, run around, and dance wildly in the moonlight til the sun rose. At which point it would immediately order waffles, bacon and a 2 fried eggs for breakfast. And a mimosa. (something like a slightly less ferocious Filipino version of the Maenads)
