Juanita, My Legendary Self

As Juanita emerged, I search everywhere and listen intently to find out what her name is…

Of course I am thinking- She’s my legend!  She has to have some ancient, spiritual evocative name…and then I heard “Juanita”.  Well it’s interesting, I said to myself.  Wonder what it means?  I looked up “Juanita” and the first thing that came up was this song.  I had never heard this before and I’m not actually a fan of Shanaya Twain….but Juanita and all of her energy emerged in this song.  Now I had met

She’s my legendary self so surely her name will emerge with an ancient and evocative quality! So I listened, I dreamed, I opened up. Interesting.  Hmmmm. I heard the name “Juanita”.

So I looked up her name.  Juanita emerged in front of me in all of her fullness and excitement and deep love and body movement within the words to a Shania Twain song!  She had been with me with so much empowerment since I was very young!

JUANITA

HOPEFULLY YOU CAN MEET HER TOO!

She is the restless river running through my veins, 

She rides without the reins, her name’s Juanita

She lives in the heart of every woman in the world

Within the reach of every girl who wants to meet her

Her names Juanita- she’s riding free

She’s inside of you and inside of me, yeah!

Oh, go with her, flow with her

Dream with her, scream with her

Let her take over, or just get know her

Be everything you can be

If you can find her and free her

Juanita will unchain your heart.

When someone tries to take away the freedom of your choice

To take away your voice, that’s when you need her

She’s there if you dare to give your broken wings a try

C’mon and take a leap and fly, and you can be her.

Oh, go with her, flow with her

Dream with her, scream with her

Let her take over, or just get to know her

Be everything you can be

If you can find her and free her

Juanita will unchain your heart.
