There's a timeless charm to the white horse, isn't there?
Across centuries, from ancient mythology to the stories the Bible tells, this noble creature has been the ride of choice for heroes and saviors.
In European and Western literature and culture, the concept of a savior or knight in shining armor riding a white horse has had a profound impact for centuries.
It's like the white horse is the universe's stamp of 'epic' on a story.
This isn't just old-time talk. Even now, fairy tales like Sleeping Beauty and Snow White keep the white horse in the spotlight, symbolizing hope and bold rescue missions. It's a powerful vibe that's stuck with us through the ages, making us believe in happy endings and heroes coming just in time.
Yet, something about this has always bugged me
This symbolism, as powerful as it is, if you think about it - speaks to the reliance on external sources of power or connections, someone or something to come to your rescue.
However, my white horse, Escudo - whose full name is Escudo de Armas, which means shield -? represents a different kind of strength—one that emerges from within - your PERSONAL Power.
A power that you wear like you own shield of strength, leadership, resiliency, grace and courage.
As women leaders, the journey can often feel like navigating through uncharted territory.
And then when we come to natural points of reinvention and realignment that are? inevitable with growth - the fear of the unknown or what's next is REAL!
Doubts and fears may swirl around you, making it seem daunting to take that next step.
But there's a profound lesson we can learn from the inspiring connection between women entrepreneurs and Escudo who is the embodiment of grace and strength.
At first glance, when you see some of our videos of his exuberance with me, or with clients, it might appear intimidating to be in the presence of such a magnificent and powerful creature.
