Add An Ingredient

"We need to reshape our own perception of how 

we view ourselves.  We have to step up as women

and take the lead."

Beyonce    

To use our voice, we need not be worrying about whether or not we are right or wrong.  It is important to share what we think to honor our lovely selves.  If we experience correction, then we learn, but we might be surprised when our input is valued as an important contribution.

There are political figures making laws and sometimes the very law they are making, they have no first hand experience, no sound resource, and no business making judgment.  In social services, there was a woman working as a lobbyist until she realized what was needed was not being presented.  She returned to being a social worker where she knew she could make a difference.

Whether it is at home or at a job or a circle of friends, we need to hold ourselves accountable when our inner voice is begging us to speak out.  To use our voice does not mean to be disrespectful, belligerent or rebellious.  We are simply adding an ingredient that will contribute to the whole.
