“I love to see a young girl go out and grab the world by the lapels. Life’s a bitch. You’ve got to go out and kick ass.”
- Maya Angelou
Foreword
FeistyWoman is not a euphemism for over-zealous extreme psycho-feminism and does not advocate any pro-feminazi, man-hate promoting, disparaging, ill-intended emasculations of any sort. We are simply a free-for-all for expressing thoughts and ideas through the eyes and ears of women and men without pretense or contempt. There’s already enough hate and despair in the world- we’re not adding to it.
Who Am I?
I’m a real woman in the real world. I don’t have all the answers although I spend much of my time seeking them out for personal enhancement. I don’t know everything and I’m not always right. Much like you, I still have plenty to see and take in and quite a bit to learn. With culture comes experience and with experience comes wisdom. Without having lived through my experiences, I wouldn’t be here nor would you be interested in the slightest in what I have to say. But I have a lot to say that just can’t remain bottled up forever, so I hope you’ll stick around and be delighted by what you uncover… If you want to know more about me, click here.
What is my message?
My message is an impervious one. I seek to dispel some serious myths about humanism in a lighthearted way. I want to talk about the things that most everyone tends to want to sweep under the rug and ignore. I want to encourage people to stir the pot and get their juices flowing- to get them to open their minds and change how they view the world.
Why this blog?
I was born to write.
*Shrugs*
Weren’t we all?
We are all a self-proclaimed “something” of sorts, so I’m a writer. Since a very young age, I’ve had an almost obsessively sickening knack for dissecting the English language. Writing for me, is a necessity. I created FeistyWoman for this purpose and as an avenue for intense discussion with people, both of which I find to be extremely rewarding and enriching.
I’ve written various pieces in many different styles and themes and I mostly enjoy creative prose in various forms. Although I can write the typical humdrum type of material found in your local drugstore pharmacy pamphlet, I’ve also written short stories, many poems and lots of articles. My artistic and communicative abilities flourish through my writing and what better way to employ them than through the creation this blog?
My main area of expertise is “life” as well as it is my “niche”. We all acquire world knowledge through life experiences and much like everyone else, I’ve seen and lived through a lot. I want to share my insight and common experiences with you in a new light, one that hopefully piques your curiosity and interest.
Who is my audience?
My audience is you. People just like me, who want to figure out the truth for themselves, without having to take life or themselves too seriously. We are bombarded with thousands upon thousands of messages everyday, from which we have to form opinions and ultimately base our decisions. We take in what we deem to be valuable and important and unfortunately usually discard the rest. I seek to give you the former.
What is a Feisty Woman?
Feisty Women are a different breed. They are often misunderstood. They work with the dynamics of the world in the most unconventional ways. They don’t want to lie down like good little sheep and be silent and powerless. They are too colorful and spirited, too vibrant and too compelling. They are often perceived by many who don’t really know them to be too strong and too capable for their own good, while they are revered and cherished by the few who are lucky enough to truly know them well. They are cherished, for the fire in their hearts, for the courage in their souls, and the power in their minds.
