I had the privilege of showcasing one of my businesses at a direct sales team meeting the other day and I was amazed at how many hats we women wear. As the women introduced themselves, they told everyone their professions- this in addition to the business they were running. It got me thinking....we women are amazing. It's not just work/life but it's work/life/business and much more that we are balancing. That's just us and I think God put that in us. Look at the Proverbs 31 woman - she did it all while her husband was sitting at the gate. Many working women today are also the business owners in the family. I heard about a woman who earns a six figure income and runs around in the evening working her business. I think it's pure passion and love for doing something more empowering just as it is for me.
I went to the meeting after rushing home from work, picking up the kids, getting something for them on the way, dropped them at my sister's while asking myself why am I doing this? At the end of the meeting though I was more energized. I got home did the dishes, fed the little one, put a load in the washer, read my bible and fulfilled my other wifely duties before finally calling it a night. (I don't advise doing this everyday). I Woke up to the voice of my husband saying it was after six. I quickly jumped out of bed.....time to put on the day job hat.
So to all women out there, many hats off to you!
