Women living in truth

If we don't live in truth we only live a short while. The truth gives our body the ok to heal and move on in strength. The truth gives us power to continue this journey whereas to hide from ones truth denies our path and bonds us to pain and strife. I've found strength in embracing truths in my life, in acknowledging my true feelings, my true intents. I have had times in my life where I hid from my truth and tried to be ok but the truth eventually broke me and set me free.  Live in your truth, regain your path,  I am each day a little.

A date night

My husband and I had a nice evening out, thanks to our trusty sitter. Being able to have an intimate conversation and look into each others' eyes fully, intently listening, felt really good.   Communicating about our day, our feelings without our focus being diverted is a necessary component to a healthy marriage and family.  We both feel more connected and happy.  It's easy to put this off, to get lazy and not feel inspired to connect.  It was also just as easy for us to go out and have some time to ourselves.

Women empowering women

Not many women in our culture today feel supported emotionally. We mourn alone. We say that we are fine when we are really lonely and need to share. We bite our tongues to preserve the peace in our family when really we want to scream and yell, "Is anyone f-- listening?" We as women bear much in our lives, sacrificing our dreams, desires, hopes.  There is still a ceiling that pushes us down in our marriages, jobs and lives. Many of us are fighting for equality in all aspects of our lives, we pray for a purpose, a job that will give us more financial freedom and equity. Are you one of these women, like myself, caught in a culture that is trying to empower us but often loses us in our mommy job descriptions or our age.

Women supporting women in sharing and honesty

Women need women in their lives. We need to vent, to grieve, to laugh, to cry.  Not many of us have support like we need it. Really. Our partners are busy, our toddlers are absorbed ( although they love us cause we are their mommies) and our friends try to listen but have their own trials and stuff to sort through. I would like this blog to be interactive, a place to share feelings, and provoke healing in a loving environment. Anyone interested in coming aboard?
