Womanhood,
We are all sisters and Brothers,
He who have ears to hear , let him hear,
Safe and Sound .
A young wife sat on a sofa on a hot humid day, drinking iced tea and
visiting with her Mother. As they talked about life, about marriage, about
the responsibilities of life and the obligations of adulthood, the mother
clinked the ice cubes in her glass thoughtfully and turned a clear, sober
glance upon her daughter.
"Don't forget your Sisters," she advised, swirling the tea leaves to the
bottom of her glass.
"They'll be more important as you get older. No matter how much you love
your husband, no matter how much you love the children you may have, you are
still going to need Sisters. Remember to go places with them now and then;
do things with them. "Remember that 'Sisters' means ALL the women... your
girlfriends, your daughters, and all your other women relatives too. "You'll
need other women. Women always do."
What a funny piece of advice!' the young woman thought. Haven't I just
gotten married? Haven't I just joined the couple-world? I'm now a married
woman, for goodness sake! A grownup! Surely my husband and the family we may
start will be all I need to make my life worthwhile!'
But she listened to her Mother. She kept contact with her Sisters and made
more women friends each year. As the years tumbled by, one after another,
she gradually came to understand that her Mom really knew what she was
talking about. As time and nature work their changes and their mysteries
upon a woman, Sisters are the mainstays of her life.
After more than 50 years of living in this world, here is what I've learned:
THAT IS TO SAYS IT ALL:-
Time passes.
Life happens.
Distance separates.
Children grow up.
Jobs come and go.
Love waxes and wanes.
Men don't do what they're supposed to do.
Hearts break.
Parents die.
Colleagues forget favors.
Careers end.
BUT.........
Sisters are there, no matter how much time and how many miles are between
you.
A girl friend is never farther away than needing her can reach.
When you have to walk that lonesome valley and you have to walk it by
yourself, the women in your life will be on the valley's rim, cheering you
on, praying for you, pulling for you, intervening on your behalf, and
waiting with open arms at the valley's end.
Sometimes, they will even break the rules and walk beside you...Or come in
and carry you out.
Girlfriends, daughters, granddaughters, daughters-in-law, sisters,
sisters-in-law, Mothers, Grandmothers, aunties, nieces, cousins, and
extended family, all bless our life!
The world wouldn't be the same without women, and neither would I.
When we began this adventure called womanhood, we had no idea of the
incredible joys or sorrows that lay ahead. Nor did we know how much we would
need each other. Every day, we need each other still.
Pass this on to all the women who help make your life meaningful. I just
did.
Short and very sweet:
There are more than twenty angels in this world. Ten are peacefully sleeping
on clouds. Nine are playing. And one is reading her email at this moment.
Send this message to ten of your friends including me. If you get 5 replies,
someone you love will surprise you.
Celebrate Womanhood! Share this with all of those amazingly brilliant and tremendously talented women who are intelligent enough to call YOU their friend :-
Happy days!
Don't break this; it's working!

HELLO
I love people with respect to Live and I have a reference for the God. I like positive people with ideas to help and empower others
write political editorials on topics ranging from the years presidential election, the emerging nuclear crisis in North Korea, to cultural and social issues and problems affecting the United States and the world peace.
I'm eager to hear what other people have to say about issues, whether I agree with them or not. In my opinion, that is how one gains knowledge, by taking an issue and studying it and applying different perspectives, and taking those perspectives and using them to make change in the world around you.
I also have other hobbies, non-political related such as listening to music, roller blading/skating, and hanging out with friends.
Being nice and honest is my best policy for my life pursuit, but not at the expense of other people’s happiness. Being wise enough to reach for your hand and touch your heart and sole , therefore not taking chances or wasting time in trying to live your life while it lasts, trying to please others, when the truth is you can’t please everyone at the same time .
