Monchiere Holmes Living the SoWoman Life… I’ve dreamed of living a purposeful woman’s life since I was a teenager. Back then I thought if I just set the table for dinner every night with fancy fabric napkins then that was what a purposeful woman should do. I wanted to be everything a woman can be wrapped up in onelike Wonder Woman and Zena the Warrior Princess (amazing, strong, and beautiful). As an adult, I envision the life of being SoWoman where celebrating your womanhood on purpose through your talents, humbleness, beauty, crafting, loving, caring and more would be a daily goal. To live a SoWoman life shows reverence to your creator, homage to yourself and a release of your purpose! To be SO MUCH of what it means to be a woman – SoWoman: First, celebrate the fact that you were made woman before you were even named- there is purpose in that alone. It’s the foundation of your life, but we often overlook it when we should celebrate it daily. From your spiritual being to your human body, celebrate your womanhood.
