Woman WithinDiscovering the woman within. As a mother we almost forget about ourselves. We seem to have no time to think pursue our own like and hobbies. We suddenly seem to have a poor attention span - a result of doing multiple things at one time! I used to read a whole book in one sitting earlier. Now I find I have completed 1/3 to 1/2 of multiple books and they are still waiting for me to complete them. We sometimes get so bogged down with the role of "mother" or "wife" and always seem to fall short of the idealistic expectation. Where has "happily ever after" vanished? Off into the sunset? ! :) My house always seems to be in a mess and my body - I've put on so much weight. I always used to think I was overweight - now I wish I had just appreciated myself then! However, I've come to realize that I am more than just my body. I have a spirit and my body is just a physical form. I am slowly discovering the woman I am from within - she has so much beauty. The freedom in knowing that makes other things take on a new perspective. It is important to nourish the our inner self and not bind ourselves to unrealistic roles and expectations. Then we are free to be who we were meant to be and our families will blessed too!
