[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 653407, member: 17461"] He sounds like such a nice kid. This was a difficult topic, and you handled it so well! :O) It comforts me sometimes to know there are those who believe we are here on purpose. Here on purpose, just as we are. The longer I live, the more I believe this may be true. As it is with evolutionary theory, the complexity of what is just cannot have happened by accident. There is another saying. Something about "at the touch of Eternity, we will know". Yes. They grow so fast. :O) It is good to realize that the choices we make define the ways our lives will go. The trick is in really getting it, not just that we are the choice makers, but that there is no resting place. When the job doesn't come through or we don't see how to begin, it is really difficult to trust that we will find a way. We are learning to be okay with that. If we could only realize that, as Brene Brown describes it, "human beings are hard wired for challenge". You, me, your children, mine. We are hard wired to meet whatever the challenge of the day is. If we keep meeting the challenges, if we continue believing, not that we will succeed every time, but that we will do our best, we will win. You are doing so well. I love this way you are thinking, now. Great job! The Federal government runs a program to help women develop, fund, and begin their own businesses. Did you know that? In addition, there are organizations like Project Soar for women with children, women who have been out of the workforce and have identified the need for assistance in figuring out how to get back in successfully. I have a friend who, though she does not need the money, applied for low interest rate loans and grants to begin a woman-operated sheep farm. She is turning a profit, today. Additionally, if you begin watching for articles about strong women, or television shows about strong women, or just wondering how to be a strong woman yourself, you will call those things to you. Perhaps they are there, already. It helps us to see role models, people just like us, functioning with strength and integrity. Then we know we can do it, too. I am so proud and happy for you. You are seeing your own strength and realizing time passes and things change and that you will have all that you need and more one day ~ just not today. You are strong enough, and bright enough, and you have successfully faced harder challenges than beginning a business will be in mothering your children well and caring for Grandpa and dealing with recalcitrant family members. You are going to be just fine. :hugs: Cedar [/QUOTE]
