A Woman In Progress

A woman in progress. I read that today and thought...wow that describes me to a tee. I am a woman in progress and I am grateful to be living in a time when not only is that a possibility it is actually something that I personally admire.

A woman in progress is wonderful. She is open to challenges.... to making mistakes and learning from them. She is open to changing course when it proves to be the best decision and not staying stuck out of embarrassment. She is open to learning not only about herself ...but also the world around her. A woman in progress knows she can leave her mark on the world ....who knows, maybe she will leave two or three marks on this world (they don't necessarily need to be huge but they will be uniquely her own.)

One of the greatest things I notice as I look around me is that there are a lot of women in progress. I am certainly not alone. Woman who have courage and are willing to move ahead with a mixture wonder and excitement as they see what the future unfolds. I am definitely not the same woman I was twenty years ago...ten years ago...or five years ago. I am not even the same as a year ago. I have the freedom to keep redefining who I am and who I intend to be.
