The Energizer

Women often put on many hats in their daily lives - Mother, Sister, Boss, Home Manager Extraordinaire. It is easy to get lost in the mundaneness of everyday life. 

We all need to renew our purpose in life periodically.

Take a weekend to yourself to recharge your batteries and your renew yourself. Remember why you have chosen to do what you do for a livelihood. Remember why you have made the choices you have made.


On your own with no time constraints - Go down to a stream, take a long walk, sit under the stars, swim in a warm pool ~ drown out the everydayness and be with yourself. Remember yourself and you will remember the commitments that you made long ago that are still engrained upon your heart. Dust off the goals you have put away in the attic. 

We all have purpose 

Renew your belief in yourself and 
you will renew your purpose in life

Mother Daughter Day

With work, homework, soccer practice, ballet, band concerts, and all of the other things that are involved in raising children; life gets very hectic. During this whirlwind of everyday activity, meaningful time however is hard to come by with our growing children. As children get older, it seems even harder to manage an outing with them yet those teen years can be essential time for children to connect with their parents.


Schedule some quality time every few weeks, with that young lady in your life. Plan a fun excursion that will give you both a wonderful memory:

1. Go to a climbing gym with her
2. Take a Cooking workshop together
3. Go meet your local representative or senator
4. Paint ceramics at your local Paint-A-Plate place
5. Go get a pedicure or manicure
6. Take her to a fancy, dress up dinner
7. Go on a bike ride on a nature trail
8. Take your daughter to the theater
9. Go horseback riding
10. Bake some cookies and deliver them to an elderly neighbor
11. Have fun Go Cart Racing

If you do not have a daughter, take a niece or other young relative. The Big Brother Big Sister Program in your area is also a great way to give your time to deserving youth. 

Young girls need a positive role model during these formative years. Middle School and High School years are always a socially awkward time, when a young girl is becoming a young lady.


So put away the ipods, ipads, and text messaging & slow down ~ spend some quality time with your little girl before she grows up on you.  

It will make a difference :) 

Wait until Your Father gets Home

Women in Leadership Positions are often labelled as being stern, demanding, or are called the B word. A male leader can give a subordinate direction or correction and it is often not even blinked at - just business as usual.

So Why is that? 
My Theory:        
1) In this generation and culture, most individuals where raised with the Father being the disciplinarian in the home. Many mothers would defer any corrective action until the father was able to direct it.

2) Often when Mothers did reprimand a child - the child felt like they had disappointed their mother.

So bottomline -  People tend to take things more personally when conveyed to them by a woman.

So keeping this in mind, do a little trial and error. Develop a personal communication style that is going to be most effective for you to ensure your message is being received properly, while still maintaining your Own Personality!
