Duh-sers

Good Tidings! (sounds Christmassy eh?!)

     So I was struck with the realization today that I can NOT do it all. Who would of thunk? It's one of the most refreshing experiences to be had. As I'm rushing from point to point subconsciously thinking that scurrying will help I eventually hit a climax, a peak where I realize I'm human. I'm me. It's then and only then that  I can choose to fully enjoy and ponder this life I'm living or be consumed by the dark fog of the world around me. By focusing on what blessings I've been given I can experience peace and joy in trusting that God will never let me fall. His agenda is a heck of a lot more strategic and intelligent than my most intricate plan. You know sometimes the best thing is really just to be dropped on our faces a few times, real hard until we hit that breaking point and begin to realize that the right plan is that there is no plan and we need to be flexible yet diligent in each and every pursuit.

I pray that God, the source of hope, will fill you completely with joy and peace because you trust in him. Then you will overflow with confident hope through the power of the Holy Spirit.   -Romans 15:13

      I used to think I was the only one who struggled with all that encompasses this life. The future, the present, our bodies, school, careers, family, social... And then I realized somewhere between going to school with 99% women and working with majority women that we all face it. There is something empowering about a woman who can be real with herself and others.  It's the women who can be open with her imperfections while embracing them, who walks in a room with a glow, who wears clothes that express who she is not who the media says she is,  a woman who speaks up for what is right, takes care of her body, mind and soul,  a woman who gives confidence to other women instead of breaking them down to build themselves up and a woman who is happy to be herself. YOU are this woman. WE are this woman.  Instead of covering up our vulnerabilities and struggles and going through our days in that foggy state, let's truly display our colors, personalities and experiences and enrich one anothers lives while doing so.
  
    Also if any of y'all need a haircut my school is doing an awesome fundraiser for Phoenix Children's hospital this Thursday, December 16 from 10a-12, $5 haircuts and $5 waxing!

Enjoy this lovely Christmassy Season with your favorite people!
