Howdy folks!  I am moving this blog to SuperwomanDoesNotLiveHere.net.  I am excited as I will be adding more pages and articles.  I hope to have this completed by Wednesday so keep checking back frequently!

Encouraging Thoughts

I found this and thought I would share it with you!  I know that we all struggle with these issues…………..

Someone will always be smarter.
Their house will be bigger.
They will drive a better car.
Their children will do better in school, and their partners will fix more things around the house.
So let it go and love you and your circumstances.
Think about it………
The prettiest woman in the world can have hell in her heart.
And the most highly favored woman on your job may be unable to have children.
The richest woman you know – she’s got the car, the house, the clothes – might be heartbreakingly lonely.
So, Love you. Love who you are right now.
Tell yourself, “I am too blessed to be stressed.”

Be blessed ladies and pass this on to encourage another woman.

“To The World You Might Be One Person…..
But To One Person You Just Might Be The World.”

I’m really not Superwoman….

It was not my intention to start this blog and then just leave it.  The past two weeks have been insane.  My mother was hospitalized as well as another member of my family in another location.  My children were on Spring Break too.  Needless to say, I felt like I was running in many different directions.

 My biggest revelation this week is that other people don’t like it when you stop being Superwoman.  This includes, family, friends, church, school, etc.  I knew this already but it was interesting when I just flat out refused to assume responsibility that was not legitmately mine and overextend myself that I was not a popular person and accused of being selfish.   I think I’ll continue to be selfish more often.

How did I get here?

Recently I was sitting in the waiting area of the orthodontist office waiting for my daughter.  It had been a hectic morning and I had left the house a complete wreck.  Matter of fact, it had been a mess for the past few days and I was struggling to find the time to whip it back into shape. 

 I picked up one of the women’s magazines and proceded to mindlessly flip through the pages.  All I saw were articles on how to do EVERYTHING better! Great, more guilt.  I then came across an article discussing how women fall into believing in the “Superwoman” myth – that we can have and do it all. 

 One of the first thoughts that came to me was “Superwoman does not exist and she does not live at my house.”  (Especially if one could see the condition of my house.)

 Right then I decided to renew my focus on not being what I perceived as Superwoman but on using the resources I have and acquire to be the best woman I can be.

 It is my plan to share that information here and on my website so that we can all benefit and encourage each other.  Topics will include time management, health and wellness, finances, organization, and personal growth to name a few.  

Until next time……..
