You never realize how intricately your emotions are knit within your soul. As women, we often are the “glue” that holds everything together. We are the nurturers who clean the wounds and place a bandage on a child’s knee. We are the “calm” in the midst of a storm. We are the “hugs” when someone’s heart has been broken. We are the planners, the empowerers, the dream launchers and the one stable force in our society.
So many times we carry such a large load. We wear many hats and we are okay with that, in fact we thrive doing life that way.

I can attest to the fact that there comes a time when the mountain of emotions well up inside you. There’s a time when you’re all alone, that all you can do is exhale and maybe a few tears roll down your cheeks because you carry so much of the needs of others.

It’s times like these that we cannot base our realities on our feelings. We have to just recognize that we needed a moment to unwind, but that doesn’t mean we are falling apart or losing it. It means we are human beings of the xx chromosome factor. We are strong, and yet tender.

One thing I have learned about myself and from watching others close to me is that we, as women, have a unique ability to revamp and get back up and make it through crisis. It’s a God-given trait, I believe. We can be the cheerleaders of life, the mentorers, the supporters, the starters~ we truly are remarkable beings.
