Today I am sitting in the lobby of a Best Western after
a patience-trying experience while trying to buy a diet Pepsi in the gift
shop. Later on, I will be hiking in the Grand
Canyon with my husband. Funny how even in a motel in Tusayan, AZ, you can learn the greatest lessons in seduction.
Last night I had an experience that made me think of a
question I get often from women: “how do I embody seduction into every area of my life,
all the time”. Shortcut to the answer:
you already do. Seduction is not necessarily
something to be done, it is something to be surrendered to.

Seduction is the part of us that says yes or no. It is the force that can attract a wonderful
experience like hiking the Grand Canyon, or the kind of experience where the purchase of
a diet soda can make you doubt your faith in humanity.
What I find that people are often wondering when they ask
this question is “how do I make life sexy all the time? How do I feel gorgeous
and beautiful all the time"? Last night, I REALLY
wanted to wear my most gorgeous orange floor length maxi dress to dinner. The
thing about this dress however, is that with the slightest chill in the air,
you can see my nipples. Like, a lot. It’s really one of my favorite things about
the dress, and it makes me feel super sexy.
When I wear this dress I feel like an absolute Goddess, like I just
stepped out of a waterfall riding a unicorn.
Who could say no to that, right?
However.

We were dining in the basement café of the Best Western. It was right across the hall from the
arcade. Do I really want to show my
nipples to the Best Western Grand Canyon crowd? Not today Josephine. I just wasn’t feeling it to be a sex Goddess
in that moment (even though my body which had been wearing red dust covered
jeans for a week longed for that experience).
And boy howdy, am I glad I listened to my intuition. If I had worn that
dress I would have had my attention on how I was being interpreted by the bikers and cowboys playing pool, not on my
evening with my husband. Playing air hockey
in the arcade would have been near impossible. This may seem like frivolous mastication of ones wardrobe choices, but
that choice determined everything about my night. By listening to my intuition,
I gave myself a beautiful evening, present and happy. And that, dear friends,
is the sexiest thing that I can think of.

PS – the very same woman who pissed me off in the gift shop
just came over and said “I admire you”.
When I asked her why, she said it was because of my fierce typing skills
that she had been observing this whole time.
Aint’ love grand??
