Ceremony to Self

Posted in Love, Samantha, True Story on June 21, 2008 by theringthing

I was blessed to experience the wedding of 6 beautiful women at a woman’s home.  They married themselves by stating their vows while looking at themselves in a mirror. Such courage! So admirable! Not a dry eye in the house. This is an important milestone on their personal journey of transformation from past traumas as they embark on the rest of their lives with themselves.  This was a celebration of love for the most important person in their life, and wearing a ring on “the finger” to tell society that, yes, they are indeed in a committed relationship, the relationship comes first, they are not alone. 

An event like this can re-define the Cinderella story for all women.  Uniting us toward self-love as the foundation for all our healthy and loving relationships.

I told my friends that I’d do The Ring Thing just to try it out for them and I’m already feeling different about myself. Feeling stronger and, dare I say it, taller. Oh my goodness, I think that I’m ashamed to say that I even feel more worthy, like I’m not going to buy those groceries cause I’m better than that. This is wierd.
