Many reading this blog post understand that life can be just plain unfair. At least unfair to our way of thinking. For some of us, it has been. There have been a few events where I would cry, “FOUL! THIS NOT FAIR!” I know there are those women who are not required to walk in…
Life as we know it is hard, and there are many demands on women. Have you ever just wanted to give up? Have you ever wanted to quit….throw in the towel…. chunk it to everyone? Have you ever wanted to disappear…or if we are really honest – have someone else disappear? Do you ever feel…
