No one around. It’s just me. No judgements. No worries. No expectations or deadlines. No one to call me a silly girl. No one to assume. No guards. No walls. Just me.

And I’m completely free.

And I feel undeniably sexy.

Some women feel this way when taking a bath. Some when running in the wee hours of the morning. Some while driving with the windows down. And others while cooking in the kitchen. It’s the moments when a woman feels 100%, inexplicably, unapologetically sexy. It creeps in when all guards are down. When optimum comfort levels are reached and the truth flows free of obstacles.

If you’re one of my many female readers, you know exactly what I’m talking about and just how wondrous these moments are. [If you're one of my male readers, then congratulations for getting a sneak peak into this one.] We all know our moments. And we all have our own personal reasons behind these moments. And even if they don’t make sense to anyone else, they make perfect sense to us.

For example, if you happen to catch me walking down the beach on a late Friday afternoon or out during my early morning walk/jogs around my neighborhood, odds are very likely you’re going to see me dancing at some point. I’m not performing for anyone. I’m not putting on a show. I’m dancing for me. Just me. That’s one of my moments. I’m in my own world, music coursing through my veins, absolutely free, completely vulnerable, feeling more alive and sexy than words can even describe, and I absolutely love every second of it.

I can’t deny it. And I’m not afraid to own it. (No matter how ridiculous or silly it may look / seem / sound / appear to others.) To me it is one of the most natural, empowering, amazing forces in the world. Being completely in the moment and unguarded, and at the same time confident and relaxed is the ultimate recipe in feeling truly sexy. No one can give that to me and no one can take that away from me. And I, for one, kind of like having that power.

Don’t get me wrong, high heels are great. Lingerie is fun. A doting companion makes life’s passion come alive. But when it comes to feeling unabashedly sexy – that’s up to me. Just me.

    Jennie – wow, such honesty and I love it!
    And you are so absolutely correct – feeling truly beautiful, sexy and secure, is up to each one of us and entirely in our control.
    Well written and thank you for sharing. :)
