The Hourglass of Time & Wisdom

As time runs away from us, we must choose our path: to hold on tightly to where we are or to take a new journey by loosening our grip to fly into our purpose. For women, it is common to have our purpose become intertwined with those we love and care for and the roles we elect to play. However, deep within, a nagging repetitious thought reminds us there will be a time for our own unique purpose to evolve beyond the “collective”. If Covid-19 and recent events have taught me anything, it is that a never-ending supply of time is not promised to any of us.

….. And so it is, with time, comes wisdom – it is what we hope, and in the best world, indeed it is, what feels certain to be true.

How often have you pondered what you would say to a younger version of yourself back in the day? Lessons learned, back then, would oftentimes “burn”. What would you share as undeniable, now proven truths? How would you get “your” attention to impart the missing wisdom to the younger you?

Women Beyond Breaking is founded on the certainty that strong women are called to share the challenges, strategies, tactics and lessons they have learned to encourage, equip and support other women so that they, too, can be “beyond breaking”. Each of us has a unique journey and story that can reach sister hearts and minds. Is it your time to share?

I NEED YOU.

I am still recruiting woman interested in telling their story for my book (see Calling all Strong Women – Book Project blog entry) as well as any woman who has a passion for the mission of sharing their story of how they uniquely became a Women Beyond Breaking in our upcoming podcast series.

Reach out to me at [email protected] to discuss your interest.
And until then, remember……

Time, it runs away from us
It’s coarse, like sand
To the smoothest hands
Impossible to grasp
As it rushes by
Chaffing

Unrelenting and unworthy
Of remorse or shame
Like rivers through a canyon
Leaving nothing
The same

Beware of complacency
Believing nothing is lost
Therein lies the cost
Of living
As time keeps
Spinning by

Hold tight to cherish
Loosening grips to fly
Whirling within the eye
Of the storm
Time.

“There is no time like the present”. How many times have you heard that phrase, yet today there is no time like the present – for you, for me and for the world.The spotlight is on and the mandate is clear: For any sense of certainty to arise, we must each excavate and explore what we hold true, stand strong for what we believe in, and pursue the fulfillment of our purpose.Join me if this post speaks to you @ www.womenbeyondbreaking.com
