The Balancing Act: Modern Women With the Same Drive, Different Lifestyle

Have we not all heard the phrase, “she has it all” which is commonly descriptive of the woman who has faith, a wholesome family life, a thriving career or business that she loves and balances it all to the point it looks easy or at least manageable?

When I think about my blessings, accomplishments, obstacles, mountains, victories and triumphs, smiling is a natural reflex.

This same reflex occurs when I am privileged to witness others journey through life and come out on the other side unscathed as well. There are mounds more that I intend to accomplish, God willing, but the one thing that supersedes anything that I have ever done is…motherhood.

“Why,” you ask?

Well, what I have discovered about this role throughout the last seventeen years is that you grow, you change, you learn, you improve and the lessons that you teach change drastically seemingly every few years.

Next to my absolute adoration for my family life and doing my best to maintain a faith-centered existence, I enjoy expanding in my career, and, of course writing.

Most of the women that I share close relationships with have careers, businesses, ministry commitments, and families. Truthfully, if you think about the many things that most women are responsible for handling in a twenty-four hour day, it can be exhausting.

These women have it all! But, on the contrary, I have found that there are many dynamics to the balancing act for women because not everything works for every woman and not all women have equal desires in life – not every woman’s ALL means the same thing.
