Balance and Change

"Some of us are becoming the men we wanted to marry." - Gloria Steinem, political activist

Wow, I just heard a message about this subject at church this past weekend!  I love it when a message is reinforced.  Sometimes I really wonder how God orchestrates these things to coincide so beautifully.

The message I heard two days ago was about being a balanced woman in today's world.  It isn't necessary for women to become more like men.  It's about being the best woman I can be today.  If that includes making a living and paying the bills, that's okay.  I don't need to change my personality to become tougher.  I can pray and meditate in order to receive the guidance to be the best person I can be. 

Prayer and meditation are the answers for me today.  I'm practicing these on a more regular basis and the results are incredible.  There is a peace inside of me that never used to be there before.  Even as I'm facing some challenges there is a deep feeling of calm and serenity.  There is no doubt within me that I will be okay regardless of my surrounding circumstances.  This frees me up to pay attention to the details of the challenges so that I can move forward, do the footwork, and let God handle the outcome.  It's a great process.  I'm sending out a great BIG thanks to all of my friends who have shared their experiences with me so that I could follow their examples.

The end result:  I am acting and feeling like the person God wants me to be today.  Pretty cool, huh?!
