A Moment!

Author & Columnist |
I often take moments throughout my day to reflect on the goodness of life, its' opportunities, its' challenges and its' gifts. I think it is very important to reflect back on circumstances, situations and life in order to see yourself for who you are, who you wish to become and ways in which to improve yourself and your self image.
To often as I reflect, I fight the urge to say what I feel if it doesn't build up my life and the life of someone else. I too, am working on this. It's exciting to see myself as I continue to work toward the person that I wish to be and rewarding to know that I can decide this. Ladies, we have to declare who we are, who we want to grow into and decide this for ourselves. Stop hesitating to look at you. I do understand that sometimes it's a painful process to look deep within who we are or even whom we have become and don't know exactly how and why we are who we are and why we are where we are BUT nothing is coincidental. We have either on purpose decided this or let someone else decide for us. Decide to take a moment and reflect and once you do it will change your world - if you so desire.
Life has never been better than it is at this very moment! So I will decide! So I will say! And so I will have! You can also decide, say and have - take a moment to do so.

What affect has not caring for ourselves had on who we are as women. What changes in ourselves have we not noticed occuring because of the lack of attention for us.
Who have we turned into. What levels and depths has we as women taken ourselves through and to in order to find that perfect him.

The Book Reader's Comment
I read the book in two days. It was wonderful and well written. You hit the nail on the head as the saying goes. Many of us forget our true value and self worth as Women. We always forget ourselves because we constantly put the world ahead. It made me feel much better and appreciated for being the Woman that I am. All Women are Super Heroes! Due to our busy lives, we often forget or are preoccupied, that we forget God is our source of energy, survival, love, patience, strength, etc. I enjoyed the book and have given it to my daughters who are now Women. Wow! I look forward to reading all your materials.
It is also great that part of the proceeds go to an excellent cause. Many Single Mothers need an outlet of support. It feels great to know that someone cares, we are appreciated and there is always some form of assistance available.
Thank you for your wisdom and time as far as writing this book. You are like the Guiding Big Sister so many of us need!!!

How Do We See Our Today?
Our today always looks better than our yesterday.
If we are reading this - we are still seeing. If we have heard the commerical on this blog - we are still hearing. If we are replying to this - we still have use of our hands. If we are pondering this - we still have use of our thoughts.
We are still here! Today is still better than our yesterday, no matter what yesterday held.
Enjoy today.
