There are so many parts to this woman- a wife,  a mother,  a daughter,  a sister, a friend,  a social worker, a life bringer, an organizer,  a bill payer, a clothes washer, room cleaner, a grocery shopper, a kid washer. So many responsibilities.  I am a woman... learning to embrace all of me and let go of the pressures that I apply to myself that do not best serve me. To just be the woman that I want my daughters to be.  Balancing all parts of me but,  never sacrificing myself, knowing that when I do,  everyone and everything that I am responsible for suffers.

And so my thought turned to you, to us. Here's to us! The women who are wives trying to figure out what kinda of superwoman Proverbs 31 is all about; to the one's who are mother's to active toddlers and technology struck teenagers, to those who have had to find the strength to say goodbye to children too soon; to those of us who take on their careers with a smile and heads held high on the hardest days and to those who stay home working hard to provide a secure, and well rounded home for their families.  To those of us who have tried every diet, workout and are just plain tired and to those who preach self care but never quite embrace it. To those of us who need to drink more water, and find time to enjoy a hobby.  This space is for us, the ones with the missed nail appointments, rescheduled hair appointments, those of us desperately in need of a massage. Welcome, let's talk! This is our safe place!
