Motherhood

I know not every woman is looking forward to Mother’s Day because whose life really depicts what’s written on those Hallmark cards? Do you feel unappreciated by your family?

I’m not fond of living in chaos.  A rushed life.  Frazzled.  Always behind.  This way of life leaves me feeling defeated in all my roles. Most women fill the following roles: Daughter of the Most High God. Wife. Mother. Homemaker. Possible work at home mom or work outside of the home. Woman in ministry. The…

Okay, so I absolutely love this question because there’s a part of me that can relate to it, meaning, I shared the same heart attitude (and struggles) of how to become a feminine woman when I was an aggressive, take-charge, single working woman.  But even if you’re a married woman reading this, I think what…
