"Above all, be the heroine of your life,
not the victim.'
Nora Ephron
We must decide if we are going to let life happen to us or if we are going to have a full life of our own choosing. We all experience life differently and definitely do not have equality in numerous areas. The bottom line is we all have choice. Granted, we may not have as many choices as others, but we do have choice.
Culture has groomed women to be submissive and co-dependent, so breaking out of an emotional prison is costly. Isolated from resources and responsibility for children often keep a woman from making her choice. She may risk her lovely self, but not the lives of her children.
Highly creative women can wear a mask and disguise the hell where they currently live, and eventually arrive at a point in time where they can bare no more. We must make our lovely selves strong so we can recognize self worth and gain independence. Individual strength can change a woman's course of life from victim to survivor and on to heroine.
