My friend, Carrie, posted an article on Facebook that caught my attention. It was about how women should stop trying to be perfect. If you missed it...please look back on my wall for the share. The article was brilliant. I went on one of my little rants after reading it. I then spent countless texts bouncing ideas back and forth to Leigh Ann. "This is what I have been talking about for years!!".
If you know me at all then you have heard me talking about the shift that needs to happen. Women went from having a simple role to a complex role and somewhere in there we forgot to modify or find some sort of balance. This all coincided with a homework assignment that my daughter came home with in which she was to interview me about the roles of women and how they have changed since the early 1900's. She got an earful...in the most positive way I could. I do not feel the need to bash another in order to prove my point. These ideas all meshed into one big moment of clarity. SHIFT. The shift is taking what we fought for as women and combining it with some new modifications. I haven't fully developed this process but let's just say the ball is rolling.
Are you a woman frustrated with the current state? Feel like we are trying to do so many things so perfectly that we are failing at all of them? Find yourself battling what is "right" or "wrong" with motherhood, partnership and sisterhood? Are you crumbling behind bathroom doors in utter exhaustion from trying to DO IT ALL?!?
We created this mess. Now, like all other messes....let's clean it up!!!
