You’ve heard my previous soapbox comments prior to Sarah Palin’s national debut.

I must admit, while my politics differ, I was impressed with the majority of her speech too.

This is my reminder not to jump to quick judgemenet. I really thought McCain was burying himself by choosing her.

So, the antics are likely to rise up and splat on each other as we watch from the sidelines.

Yet, I must admit that the presence and strength of Palin’s opening dimenished also for me when she went on the Obama attack (especially with some inacuracies).

Thank you for your comment about strong women not necessarily being “women of strength” – It is well put and will be well remembered!

You are so right when you say a strong woman isn’t necessarily a “woman of strength”. When a woman connects with the essence of who she is, and trusts the innate knowing that comes with that, she naturally and easily steps fully into her power. Operating from that place she can only be authentic and speak with a truth and clarity that people can hear. A woman truly in her power will do it her own unique way – she won’t have to adopt the behaviours of others or do things the way they’ve always been done.

When she speaks her truth people can hear it – and even if they don’t agree they will respect and admire her.
