WHAT'S NEW?

I was thinkin it was time for something new!!!!
Being fearlessly female sounds great. But what does that mean?
I think it means not being afraid of being who we are. And who are we?

I am a woman. That means I am curvy. No stick figure here. I am fierce, but not in the way that America's Next Top Models are. No, I am full and free to love and enjoy life.

I am a woman. I am emotional. I laugh, I cry, I am angry, hurt and hopeful -- sometimes all at once. I hope and pray and encourage. But too seldom myself. I am so connected to the people I love and at times I have a hard time separating my life from theirs.

I am a woman. I can take amazing amounts of frustration. Daily I repeat the chores of laundry, dishes, taking kids to school, picking kids up from schoo, doing homework, preparing meals, shopping, dishes, baths, bedtime struggles -- all of this without adequate pay or insurance packages. And I can be fulfilled by giving myself this way.

I am a woman. I am capable of incredible things. I am physical and strong, I am emotional and smart. I am loving and caring. I am able to delay my needs and desires for others. I am capable of seeing the best in you -- even when you are at your worst.

I only fear not being the best that I can be when others need me. I am female and I am proud of all that I have been created to be. I am someone of infinite worth. And I know that you are too -- even if you don't see it yet.

What were you thinkin?
