Author is looking for "Full-Blown" women
Women becoming "girls" again are subjects for new book and interactive journal.
You all know her. The colleague at work who suddenly glows, who suddenly loses those few extra pounds, who causes the double take. You've all talked about her-- the PTA mom who shows up for the party with extra goodies -- like cleavage? Surely you've said it -- you've clarified it, justified it, called it by name. An affair. She must be having one. It's textbook.
Another man? Perhaps. Another woman? Perhaps. It doesn't matter. Both are mere pawns, according to author Cynthia Zordich who is developing the concept called Full-Blown. "The real affair is taking place within the woman, it's actually an affair with herself. A "Full-Blown" affair, adds Zordich.
"Becoming 'Full-Blown' is journey where the child inside the woman emerges to remind, refuel and redirect," says Zordich. "The girl inside muscles her way back into the life of the women in order to awaken the spirit and soul. It is a final burst of indescribable energy."
Her purpose depends greatly on the life of the woman and the choices she has made thus far. For the woman who has deserted her adolescent dreams -- it is a reminder. For the woman who has been stifled all of her life by forces she could not realize or control -- it is a burst of confidence to make changes. "I want to find more women who have experienced this positive change so I can tell their stories in hopes that others will benefit," said Zordich.
Zordich, a photographer by trade, already knew she was "full-blown" when her friend had asked her to show her NFL sideline images at his gallery from a recent book she authored, When the Clock Runs Out, a look at NFL players in the autumn of their careers and the struggles they faced in letting go of the game. But life was pulling her work in another direction. "I had stirrings and I wanted to capture them on film. I contacted all of the girls I knew and told them what I wanted. That other side. The side that sneaks up in the middle of your life, in the middle of your meeting, on the sideline at your kid's soccer game," Zordich said.
Full-Blown may spin you 360 degrees or it may take you in another direction. It is a final, beautiful, and very intentional phenomenon. Yet be warned -- It creates change -- which ultimately creates friction. The girl takes over and the woman is left to do all of the explaining.
What interests her most is seeing other women go though it and make horrible life choices in the midst of it. "You see them out there and you want to grab them and say, 'Hey, I know what you're going through! Ride it! Enjoy it! But, be smart about it. See it for what it is. It's not about that co-worker or that new guy in the gym - it's about you! Don't mix it up with nonsense. Find it's purpose and make good choices because it's going to end and then where will you be?'" says Zordich who is no stranger to capturing emotion through the camera lens.
Zordich has experimented with translating her own "full-blown" experiences into her artwork. Images that portray high energy, heightened sexuality, freedom, confidence and defiance to name a few. Now she is asking fellow full-blown journeymen to share their own Full Blown experiences for the Full-Blown manual and interactive journal. Zordich looks at the exercise as a vehicle for Full Blown women to unwind, unload and celebrate their experience in a discovering a world where they are not judged, but understood.
