Women are amazing.

Our lives are rarely a straight trajectory; instead, we weave together an abundant existence from the varied and ofter unexpected occurrences that we encounter. Sociologist claim that women, because we are required to pay attention to many thing at once, are multi-minded and have great tolerance for interruptions. Anyone who has juggled motherhood, career,education,significant relationships, household management, and self-growth knows this to be true.

As we lay down the warp and woof of our lives, we also need to be sure we weave strong safety nets for ourselves. When demands on us exceed our energy, we need to know how to support ourselves in finding the rejuvenation necessary to continue to thrive.

There are many ways - such as learning to understand and honor our needs, having realistic expectations, asking for help, and abolishing quilt- by which we can weave a supportive safety net for ourselves.

"A woman's life can really be a succession of lives, each revolving around some emotionally compelling situation or challenge, and each marked off by some intense experience." - THE DUCHESS OF WINDSOR
