The Luckiest Girl!

I am getting ready to leave to go see LeAnn for the weekend. I will be helping as she is settling into her new home in Columbia, SC (only three hours from Greensboro)! Next weekend I will be back in TX. I will get to see the other third of 618, Leigh! I think this is just what I need to push through the crunch of the last half of the semester!!!

I am a woman!

I am sitting in my living room looking out the window as a mix of rain and snow are falling. I have Enya’s newest CD playing and drinking my favorite hot tea. I am supposed to be writing a self-analysis paper on my gender development, but I am realizing how hard it is to put into words what has made me into a woman. There have been times in my life that I didn’t realize what it meant to be a woman. There have been times in my life that I hated that I was female. There have been times that I felt like I need to apologize for being a woman. Today though, as I sit here I am thankful for being a woman. I am thankful for the amazing women in my life who have taught me what it really means to embrace my identity as a woman. I am thankful and blessed for being who I am!
