What Makes YOU a Great WOMAN???

Looking back over my life and the lives of a few others, I'd have to say that my uniqueness, hardworking ethics, dedication, compassion towards others, attitude adjustments, completing personal and career goals, motherhood and it's challenges and a host of other things makes me a GREAT WOMAN.

I often ask in my domestic violence workshops, what describes you as a person.  After the women take a few seconds to jot down or gather in their minds their specific attributes about themselves, it's time for the revelation.  You would be surprised at how many WOMEN can NOT answer this simple question.  Due to years of being cast out by their partners and/or family.  Some women often take on whatever characteristics their partner is or have.  Take a quick test and grade your self on that theory of mine.  In the meantime, This blog is all about YOU...the GREAT WOMAN that YOU are.  The point of this exercise is to open a dialogue to and for the women to start making their own choices and preparing to go to new levels in their lives, while discovering NEW talents/gifts, that they never knew were there, or too afraid to step out on faith.

I recently attended ANMF Parenting Class and we were asked a question: What makes you a good parent?  With the three children that I have and their very different personalities, I personally feel that, I'm a good parent simply because I have remained sane since I was introduced to motherhood.  For some women, patience is really a virtue when you have children.  I think motherhood alone is the greatest gift from God to a WOMAN.

Women come in all different shapes, sizes and colors but yet we all are made wonderfully in God's image.  I never really understood why it's so hard for women to get along in society.  There are so many cliques (yes I was apart of few in my younger day).  I always advocate on my own behalf that in my younger days, I was selfish, sometimes inconsiderate, let boys dictate my friends, etc and if I hurt anyone that crossed my path...I APOLOGIZE!  Since those days, I've become a new person with new mindsets.  I think that's another thing GREAT about me:  I don't carry BAGGAGE with me.  I've done so much in my past that people have forgiven me for that it's only right I set that example in my own life.

So today, I ask you, what makes you a great woman?  Plant your seed(s) today and make a difference in our society, in some way.
