Women's Work
If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten
that we belong to each other. - Mother Teresa Every day I see women who cannot accept their greatness. Even the strongest of women - who are leaders and servers of society find the time to berate themselves, undervalue themselves and listen to the little voice inside their head that tells them they are not worthy. They feel like imposters in their own lives. How do I know? I was one of them. I have watched many a woman dedicate her life to raising her children, suporting the family and her husband or partner and at the end of the day - no matter how much she has accomplished discount her contribution to the world. She is tired, feeling unfulfilled and wondering how she will do it all again tomorrow. And for the most part this goes on for years and years. What we never consider is that we are all connected. And when one part of us is wounded and hurt - we all suffer. According to Health Canada and Statistics Canada, between 7.9% - 8.6% of adult Canadians will experience a major depression or anxiety at some point during their lifetime. In the USA the numbers are staggering as well. Between 13 million and 14 million people - will experience a depressive disorder in any given year. Twice as many women are depressed than men. This is a frightening epidemic. Has anyone ever asked why? Women are the caretakers of our world. We take care of family, community issues, raise awareness and strive for peace. But we do not take care of ourselves. Many never fulfill lifelong dreams and passions because they don't take the time to discover them. And those of us who do - and set out to serve - burn out far too quickly. We search for meaning in religion, in work, in our families and in our love relationships - but never find the answers. That is because the answers lie in each of us. It is time to take the time to listen to the wisdom that is 'God' or 'The Creator' that is within us.. It's not about religion or work, or not getting the raise, or the partner that mistreats us, or the family that abandons us. It is about us learning to love and accept ourselves just the way we are - find and use the gifts we were meant to give to the world - and then teach others to do the same. "Women hold the key to the evolution of our world.
We have spent generations complaining and blaming others because we are not acknowledged or treated equally. We have taught others how to treat us. It’s not about demanding equality - but instead about finding our own value and claiming our own power and using it in service. This world cannot evolve if 50 percent of population - who are women - cannot serve in their highest capacity." - Mandie Crawford The world is changing - and so must we. It is time for us to find the courage to have those inner conversations, to heal the wounds and find the wisdom that lies in each and every one of us.
It is time for us to take responsibility for our own issues and stop blaming society for what we do not have. We have given away our power - and the only way to reclaim it is find the courage to reach deep inside and deal with the self made demons that drag us down. Our children depend upon us. The world needs us. But we cannot serve if we are wounded. It is time for a transformational revolution. And it begins in each one of us. Will you join me in this journey we call life?
