Align the Voice

"A woman with a voice is by definition a strong woman.

But the search to find that voice can be remarkably difficult."

Melinda Gates

There is a voice within every woman, but it can be difficult to locate, understand, and utilize.  If we are raised without any sense of self-appreciation, we may disregard our own voice believing it only spoke gibberish. As we grow into a sense of self, our voice no longer inserts darts of insight, but extends paragraphs for deeper meaning.  

Depending upon our life style, it may or may not be safe to use a newly discovered voice.  Whether we are threatened by our environment or by the people near us, self-censorship is beneficial until we can fine tune our thoughts.  If we express ourselves too soon, we can easily be squelched, never to try again.

The voice needs to be exercised whether through writing or confiding in a trusted friend.  This helps us align our thoughts, desires, and goals.  When we grow confident in our self we can begin to reinforce ideas by researching the words of poets, authors, and ancient scripts.  Although it is difficult to give life to our inner voice, it will be a liberating experience.  With practice, the voice aligns itself with our body, mind, and spirit.
