The Power Of A Woman

Yes, women need women! We know ourselves and we understand each other and see the world through different eyes. There are women who have met insurmountable odds in order to achieve some of the biggest dreams possible. But the real women who have achieved the most success are the ones who have inspirational stories who have overcome everyday challenges and have  grown not only in their self esteem but also in the sense of who they are and what they contribute to their world.  Today more than ever women are reaching out breaking all the molds and speaking out for other women. In today's world we  face challenges never before faced by any generation.  A very high divorce rate, high percentages of  single mothers struggling to make ends meet and leaving young children in care.The filthiness of the world that has led women to believe that "things"and "image" are more important than our emotional well being. The misconception that we as women need the perfect family,  husband and job in order to be all things to an all fallen world. We bear children we have periods we raise families while we juggle work, life, love and careers. In the most difficult times in my life is where I found all things both lost and hidden. Through darkness, tears and misfortune came a light and a hope. I did not see myself as a failed person but as a person who had been failed. I believe that we have what no man has, a gift that God gave to us. Unconditional love and courage! So leave no woman behind, when one falls we as women should not scoff but band together to pull her up. We should not be singular but universal, as Pink said in her song"were not broken just bent." If you see a woman who is slightly bent  reach out and support her and straighten her frame. Leave none behind and if your blessed, don't stop there, help to be a blessing in another's life. This blog is especially dedicated to all the women who picked me up and nurtured me when I had not only fallen, but lost my way through a difficult time. For all the women who stopped to guide and support me who lent of their time and energy to invest their love and time to pick me up. You all know who you are as there is too many to name.

Prabhath Avadhanula I wander on these crowded roads Wander through these streets Lie in fields of lonely rows Sown in empty seed. And what I need Is the power of a woman The healing of her touch Those eyes that bring redemption To every one of us. And all I need Is the summer of her solace The fall of her gaze The winter snows of her concerns That blossoms spring to change. I need her hand to guide me To a higher star And hold me back again When I have strayed too far. And when that commotion hurries This world to dissaray Give me the power of a woman And I will be okay.

Knowledge puffs us up but love builds us up......

Trials and Tribulations

“The most beautiful people I've known are those who have known trials, have known struggles, have known loss, and have found their way out of the depths.”
― Elisabeth Kübler-Ross

 

   Everyone experiences some form of adversity, tribulations, or times of trouble and worry. When in the midst of them we often ask ourselves if something we did or did not do somehow contributed to our circumstances as we hold onto childhood beliefs of being punished for wrong-doings.

Our hearts sink and we stumble in the turbulence of our emotions. Whether a health issue or a failed marriage or broken dream, we need not look at the raging storm.
When Peter asked Jesus if he could walk to him on the water just as he himself had done, Jesus simply bid him to come, the bible recounts that Peter did walk on the water, but as soon as Peter took his eyes off of Jesus and looked to the storm, he began to sink instantly.
When we focus on our troubles we, too like Peter loose focus and sink into fears and anxieties.  When we make the problems were facing bigger than everything else, what happens? It does get bigger, it consumes us, our every waking hour and our spirits fail miserably, life loses its mystery and joy is lost.

Here is a quote I happened to stumble upon and thought it was perfect for this post.

 

“If you fall-and trust me, you will- make sure you fall on your back. Because if you fall on your back, you can see up. And if you can see up, you can get up. And you can keep going and going and going.” Hoda Kotb,   

In every life there is Affliction of some kind, your not being punished on the contrary, your being re-born, re-defined and re-used. Life does sometimes spit-us-out, but choose to believe that everything happens for a reason and that in order to have fulfilled our destinies, those downs eventually lead us straight up!

When All Else Fails There Is Always Love

Don't Give Up On Love......

 

 All hopeless romantics are idealists, the sentimental dreamers, and the imaginative. A hopeless romantic, dreams of who they will share their life with. We want to be romanced with sweet things and thoughtful actions. We dream of being loved in a ferocious way, where no mountain nor snow will stand in our lovers way. We don't just want to be held on a starry night we want to be cherished with a love that surpasses all expectations. A desire and lustful, need to be first in our partners life. We are hopelessly in love with love itself.

 

Every one of us should go through life with that intoxicating feeling for something. Why settle for mediocre when we can have love for all its worth.Don't settle for luke-warm because the moments where you feel most alive will always be when you love deeply and with no inhibitions. Well I can be categorised or ridiculed for my fairy-tale beliefs but I still believe that you don’t need to love the idea of the shining night on a white horse and fairy tales to be a hopeless romantic — you only need to be in love with life itself.

This is for all the women who are believing in love in it's purest and simplest of form. You only need one man to love you in this life, but love you like crazy,don't settle for any less than what you yourself are willing to give, so love freely with no regrets.......

 

It's just Life.....

There is Power In The Words We Speak
