Wondering about life and living it unbalanced, the more I go toward equality and trying to figure out what equality is, I recognize that my life isn't equal at all, in fact it's highly unbalanced and has always been unbalanced. So how do I get to being just a little unbalanced if in fact my quest for true balance and equality is quite limited right now?
Well, for starters, I must be balanced in myself, I should read news for a few minutes each day and get the gist of what is going on in the world. I should take time to myself to calm my mind and meditate. I should try what I feel to do in my heart, and even if I fail or don't achieve it, at least I gave it all I have. I need to breath more and take more pauses before I answer. And explain I need to think about it. People get agitated at this one though, so that one is sort of hard to do. I just answer fast and take heat for how my answers may come across then take heat for thinking. I should though be determined to take heat for thinking, then take heat for a hasty answer I may not have meant the way I said it.
I have been a bit unbalanced at times, to a lot unbalanced. I hope I can find, as I work across this road of getting to equality, what balance is and feels like for me.
What works for me may not work for others. But at least I hope it helps gives others motivation to become more balanced.
That though is my Personal quest for balance with in my own life.
However,
How does this apply to a blog on a woman's voice in the Church? Well, isn't it all about balance? I mean, in the Church we have a lot more General Authorities then Women Officers of the Church. Yet the hat is tipped in the favor of the men. Men lead, preside, and women follow. Women have a voice, but not in the big councils. And I will post a PDF on this site in the next few weeks, in a new page, so any one can download it and take a look. I will outline the Leadership decision making bodies of the Church and give different ways of bringing a woman's voice to all those bodies.
That is one way to be balance.
I will write more about it.
Focused on Equality in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and a Place to highlight my voice and link to other mormon women's voices, please look at my blog role, and visit those sites.

Today I feel better
Today I feel better, I feel more empowered, I feel more capable, I feel stronger, I feel unique, I feel like me. I feel that I'm not alone. I feel better.
I may have my downward spirals, but I feel that now I can share it.
This is Women's voices rising, and particularly, my voice is rising. I am for equality, and for highlighting women's voices in the church. Please read the "About this site" page, and go through other pages and see what is going on.
Thanks for stopping by and please stop by again.
