I'm Every Woman



Okay, ladies let's admit it  . . .
We are awesomely created. . . 
but we are also (sometimes . . . admit it) 
very moody.

 We are the Queens of our castles.



We are fun loving.



We also cry a lot . . . but that's okay :)



 Sometimes our days are about as delightful and happy as they can be . . .


 Other times we just feel a bit blue . . . and don't even know why.



We have powers that we don't even realize.

We are brave,
We are strong,
&
We are LOVED and very worthy of LOVE.


And above all
WE ARE AMAZING!!!
 Yes we are . . . 
Isn't it wonderful to be a woman!

 Go visit your mirror and say,
I'm Amazing.

 Have a GREAT DAY!!!
Your blogging sister,
Connie :)

      Hi Val, yep, I think a good cry sometimes does a world of good.
      It is the gals that keep it bottled up that suffer.
      Have a great day,

      Hello Dee, "girl powder" is the slogan of my granddaughters. Whenever they get ready to try some new sport or to help out at home with a tough and dirty chore, they go into girl power mode . . . I love it. They are only 5 and 6 years old, but they have such a positive energy, and they believe that fear is just something that needs to be faced head-on :) When I'm around them I feel 15 years younger (that's in the mornings . . . by the end of the day . . . I'm wiped out). That's why we have our kids when were young, LOL.

    Oh, I LOVE all your girls! Very inspirational post - for sure! I just posted about my wonderful blog candy! I've had so much fun looking through the Somerset magazine (which I didn't have) and the Get Real Greetings card book. There's lots of fun ideas in there - although I may tone a few down a bit! I love the handmade cards - thank you so much.
