Do Women Do Too Much?
Are Women TOO Busy?
So tell me, do you take time out for yourself? Are you too busy or do you think things are great the way they are? Do you even have time to ask yourself these questions? Do you think you should? Do you feel guilty for thinking about "your" needs? Is there a story about YOU that you are neglecting? Do you cry alone? So many questions hey? Well I think it is important to ask them of yourself... TODAY! Do you know what TODAY IS? TODAY IS YOUR BEGINNING. THE IMAGE IS OF MY PAINTING "ORCHIDS"3...

Emotional Power Within
We are Goddesses
Finding Our Place of Power-What in the world does this mean? First I am not sure if "Power" can be described in the sense I am speaking about. The experiences you go through can explain "Power" because it is the things you go through that makes you create the inner power you have.

It is reaching that part of you and being able to handle situations and experiences that you have gone through and...

I Need Some Me Time
Making Time For Me
I Need Some Me Time. Everybody does and everyone deserves some Me Time. I need some me time to take care of myself. I need to spend some time alone doing the things I love or just doing nothing.

Apart from the kids, we have the spouse, the extended family, friends, colleagues, bosses. There is so much multitasking and or...

I didn't get to ease into it like most women - my ovaries are gone, and I cannot take estrogen supplements, so it hit me like a ton of bricks! This lens is about severe endometriosis, and how it can negatively affect your life in SO MANY WAYS! Many people have never heard of it, so it tends to be somewhat discredited, when in fact it is a serious, debilitating d...

MENOPAUSE OR ME - NO - PAUSE?
When does Menopause begin and when does it end?
In my case Menopause set in when I turned forty. Many things changed in my life. Some for the good, some not so good. For instance, I've been seeing people I went to school with lately. I recognize the face but can't for the life of me remember their names! I'm finding this a hard fact to accept as I get older. In my younger days I knew faces and names and would even help others when their memories failed them. I don't consider myself to be an old person, after all I'm just fortysomething. Am...
