Father's Day... A woman's point of growth

Father's Day can invoke so many memories, regrets & and longings. Often times we as women don't really embrace the concept of honoring "Father's Day. For many, dad was not around, baby daddy ain't acting right or the man in our life seems to be missing the mark. We also allow those interactions to consciously and subconsciously shape how we respond, choose and interact with our men. Wow... that's heavy right?
Our last meditation dealt with these ideas and we collectively came to realize that we are and can choose to see ourselves as a reflection of the positives we have experienced with the men in our lives. The path we choose now as women has nothing to do with someone else's actions; we are responsible for our own. We when own up to that we can no longer use our men as an excuse to why we have not achieved, believed or embraced life and love as God intended. We are the master of our own destiny and we CAN embrace the good in every man, and learn from the choices we made all the while celebrating father's day void of hate, ridicule, frustration and remorse. To not do that, rejects a part of ourselves. We are all connected ~ remember? To choose to look at Father's Day as a celebration of what can be, calls us to be honest enough with ourselves to look at things through the eye ware of reality. Reality is... Love is in everything, everybody and everywhere. We choose to embrace the path which best serves us. So, what best serves you? "...he done me wrong song"~ or "I have learned love in this relationship..."
Until Next Time... Be well
