Welcome to Lady Goddess.  This site is a combination of things I like, desire and have, with things that affect and make a woman who she is.

I understand that the issues and situations a woman faces now a days are vast and some of them, complicated.  However, I believe that it is important to address many of the issues and together we can find solutions that can improve the quality of our lives.

I asked a very dear friend of mine, (she is more my sister than a friend), and who is an incredibly talented writer, to write a poem for the site.  Among all the poems she has written, she chose the one on this page as it defines the way a lot of women feel about themselves.

Being a woman is an art.  We are the most talented actors in the world.  We go through incredible odds in order to raise a family and to survive as a person.  We do not understand why is it that we are called the weaker sex when we are the ones who bare the children, take care of the future generations, nurture the young and the old,  successfully juggle many things at the same time, contribute to the financial affairs of our families, love and protect our husband and children, and learn that we can fit in 24 hours what it would take a man to do in 36.  Nevertheless,  we accept the role we are playing and most of the time, we make the best out of it and are very successful at it.  Please understand that situations like domestic abuse, any type of abuse at the hands of other is a different matter that has to be dealt with to a successful conclusion.  Unfortunately, that will take time and women's decision to stop the abuse forever.

I want to make it perfectly clear that in no way, shape, or form, I am bashing males.  My intention is to deal with women's issues only.  Whatever road a woman decides to take, it is her decision, she has to take responsibility for her decision and she alone can change her life for the better, or for the worst.

Inner Beauty

For most of her life she never felt like much.
She couldn't imagine anyone ever wanting her touch.
When she looked in the mirror it was flesh she saw,
It wasn't perfect, all she saw were the flaws.

But each day she gave to the ones in her life,
With never a thought of being anyone's wife.
She reached out her hand to anyone in need,
Never feeling like she deserved a good deed.

The people around her saw a heart of gold,
A warm shelter for anyone that ever been cold.
She was a ray of sunshine, laughter to cure the blues,
She gave hope to many, yet she never had a clue.

An angel of love, a child of the light,
She always tried to do what she felt was right.
Giving and loving every day was her pleasure,
But she didn't know she was such a treasure.

Inner beauty that was seen by all who looked,
Not the look of a fashion model on the cover of a book.
If only she could see what other people saw,
She would walk as a queen, proud and tall!
