From the Editor’s Desk MARCH is...
aunts, wives, and friends and all that encompasses. Once we embody that,
Women’s Empowerment and Multiple Sclerosis Awareness Month
we don’t have to ask for justice. We command it without words.
This month is Women’s Empowerment and Multiple Sclerosis Awareness Month. Interesting how they’re both recognized in the same month. Women bear the responsibility of birthing and raising earth’s citizens. MS, from an emotional standpoint, bears its root with being over-burdened and under expressed emotionally.
For me Women’s Empowerment means having a circle of friends who are there for one another. Not just to party and socialize, but to help bring out the best in each other. To listen without judgement. To complement without comparison. To show support both silently and out loud, to celebrate and cheer for you when you don’t have the clarity to see the light in yourself.
It is time that women come together, to lighten our load, to uplift one another. There is a shift taking place in our world and women have more opportunities to show up and make a difference. If we can become Vice President of The United States, Coach of the Boston Red Sox, and referee of professional football and basketball games, what else could we do if we were united? It is time to stop dimming your light because of what others may think and feel about you. Yes, this is still considered a man’s world, but let’s face it: we were their mother’s first. Our purpose is to not berate men. Our goal is to except our greatness and position on this planet: as life givers, warriors, lovers, gamechangers, mothers, sisters,
The emotional burden of not having support is connected to the manifestation of Multiple Sclerosis, and that’s why it’s important to me. My mother lived with MS. According to The National MS Society “more than 2.3 million worldwide” have MS. Multiple Sclerosis is a disease that attacks the Central Nervous System.” There is no cure for MS… or so they haven’t discovered. All things have a resolution and perhaps, when we come together as women…supportive women, we can reverse the ravages of this disease and the “crabs in the barrel” mentality that has led to illness and women’s separation. Until Now.
