When a woman flows freely

There's nothing like a woman who's in her flow. When she's in her groove not only is life good for her but everyone around her reaps the benefits.

Being in her flow is a result of her feeding her spirit. It's when she's free to live beyond one role in her life but she can in fact fulfill all the roles that make sense to her. I'm not talking about being "Everywoman;" For her it's enough to be her OWN woman.

Multiple roles are nothing new to us. As women seeking and achieving success, we often find ourselves wearing various hats to successfully function in our roles of mother, daughter, sister-friend, lover, boss, employee, performer, writer, preacher, teacher, and the list goes on. We must discover and find effective ways to make time to do what is important to us. For some reason, when we fall in love we tend to give up our power. We forget about how we had-it-going-on before the relationship. Remember, that's why he fell for you in the first place - because you are a desirable and a valuable woman.

There is so much more to today's woman than meets the eye. At any given moment, a sister may be working as a vice president of a bank, political activist, or secretary. On the right, she's a mother, a sister-friend, a girlfriend or wife. Look to the left, this sister is flowing as producer, actress, soul-singer, rap diva or dancer. These are the dynamics of being a multi-faceted.

For Better or For Worse

When it comes to relationships, we have all been in violation of something: Hurting someone's feelings, choosing the wrong partners, putting ourselves last, being selfish, having negative energy, being insecure and jealous ... the list goes on. Some of us make mistakes and learn from them; others continue to repeat the same mistakes, although maybe with different people. I call this behavior the R.R.O. - which stands for Relationship Repeat Offenders. These are people who are in violation of unhealthy choices for themselves and those they are involved with romantically.

I know all too well what it's like to be a R.R.O. In fact, by the age of 36, I had already married and divorced. My issue has never been that it's hard to meet a man; instead, it's about who I choose and why. I have often made life-altering decisions, like getting married, from an ultra-emotional space that was less than healthy and definitely for the wrong reasons.
