It's Time
Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition.
~ Steve Jobs
Today more than ever we are in need of someone to listen to us. Do you realize that listening is the basis of all professional help that is available. If you go to the doctor, they have to listen closely to what you are telling them before they can diagnose your health issues. If you go to a lawyer, they have to listen to your story before they will take your case. If you go to a religious person of faith, they are going to listen to what you have to say, so that they can offer you spiritual guidance and healing.
You cannot heal in silence for an untold story never mends."

Years ago we had more connections to our families and our communities. We had more people we could trust and depend upon to help us sort through our stories. Today with our high levels of responsibility, commitments expectations and stress, we feel like no one has the time to listen to our fears, worries and struggles because they have too many of their own.
Unfortunately we have become disconnected from each other despite all the modern gadgets that connect us.
In our fast paced world, there is often no one to encourage our dreams, share our accomplishments and give us an honest opinion. We fear the judgement of others and are afraid of looking vulnerable in the eyes of our family, friends and coworkers. We suffer by trying to keep everything inside and we often beat ourselves up because we think that no one will understand. Our troubles are often based on limiting beliefs, shame, fears, regrets, self image issues and the inability to understand ourselves and each other.
Sometimes we don't always need the standard professional services; instead we just need someone to listen to our struggles, help us understand ourselves, offer us clarity, direction, honesty, support, encouragement and someone who will remind us that we are going to be okay and to take better care of ourselves. I believe that having someone to listen to us is sometimes what we need the most. It is something so basic, that we often take it for granted. We all have a yearning and need to be heard and understood so that we can move forward in life. Talking through your challenges with someone you trust, gives you a voice, helps to unburden the heaviness of your inner dialogue, lessens your emotional struggles including fear, relieves your stress and most importantly helps you to find your own solutions.
The purpose of this place called A Woman's Story is to help women understand, accept and love themselves enough so that they can escape the caged life that they have built around their lives.
It's time to change the story of your life!

The most important things are the hardest to say. They are the things you get ashamed of, because words diminish them — words shrink things that seemed limitless when they were in your head to no more than living size when they’re brought out. But it’s more than that, isn’t it? The most important things lie too close to wherever your secret heart is buried, like landmarks to a treasure your enemies would love to steal away. And you may make revelations that cost you dearly only to have people look at you in a funny way, not understanding what you’ve said at all, or why you thought it was so important that you almost cried while you were saying it. That’s the worst, I think. When the secret stays locked within not for want of a teller but for want of an understanding ear.
