Thinking about our girliness as a path is an interesting concept. We all have our own paths that we navigate through life. Sometimes we might encounter an obstacle that requires a detour before returning to our path once again. There will be times when we experience a radical change of direction like a new job/career or moving to a new town/country. None of these mean abandoning the essence of your girly path through life. As Jimmy Page famously sang, “There’s still time to change the road you’re on.” He isn’t saying that we must abandon our path and walk the path belonging to someone else – for their sake. He is talking about changing the direction of our path without giving up on the essence of our inner truth. Life circumstances might force us to take a detour from our path for a while, but we will return to our path because that is our nature. If you find yourself on such a detour, remember that a detour doesn’t mean chopping up your path with a pick-axe and purging all your pretty pink paving stones. It is your path and you will return to it. I have yet to meet one girl who feels glad about any purge she has made in her life. Girly is who we are at our core and not simply how we choose to dress on any given day. That is why I encourage everyone to do something, no matter how small, every day that validates who you are deep down at the core of your essence. It doesn’t matter if it is something that nobody else can see. You will feel it, and that will give your inner girl air to breathe. I have a jeans and t-shirt style travel day today. So, after my morning run and shower, I’ll be painting my toenails hot pink. Let me know what you will be doing that validates your inner girl. Hugs.

For the past few weeks, between vacation, big projects at work, a home remodel project, kids’ activities with school, sports, and the arts, time has not permitted me much opportunity to even think about Candie–that girlier essence of who I am. I haven’t missed my opportunities to dress girly for my workouts, but my girly nature hasn’t been as open as I like. Don’t misunderstand. I’m always a tad girly anyway, even when I’m not thinking about it. It’s who I am. It’s how I act. It might not be over the top, but the girliness is always there. However, because of hectic schedules and activities, the thrust for girliness has been shelled up. It made me wonder for a bit if I have been trying too hard or if a more girlier version of myself might not ever become my most natural way of living. I’ve come to the conclusion, though, that I’m simply off track. The path that I have been traveling on has become a well-worn path of femininity. I’ve gotten used to it. It’s not as exciting as it once was. It’s not as new, but it’s a well-worn path. I might not be as “in to it” as I have been in recent weeks or months, but I know that I will be beating down the dirt of it once again very soon. I can’t stay off the trail for long. It calls for me. That’s how it is, I guess, with our love for girliness. The path is very girly, but we might ramble through a short season where it’s not as thrilling. Perhaps we will go through many of those times yearly, especially if we are being distracted. Yet, I truly believe that because the path is so well-paved with feminine things that I, maybe you too, will once again walk it, and perhaps, even girlier than before. It’s too ingrained within our spirits to be shelled up for too long. I say all of this, simply to tell you dear friends, that if you’re in a season where girliness is not the foremost essence of your passions, don’t fear that you’re losing ground. The girly path is well-worn. You’ll be back on it in no time. Have a beautiful day! CandieHart Candie is an enthusiast for all things fit and femme.
