The Secrets of a Wise Well Woman Revealed

Cover via Amazon

Is there a secret to being a wise, well woman?

Am I a wise, well woman? And for that matter, what is a wise, well woman?

When can I consider myself a wise, well woman? Do I earn that designation somehow and do I have to be “old” to be wise? Maybe when I’m old, someone will tell me.

If I asked you to describe a woman who is wise, what would you say? What words come to mind?

Gentle, kind, thoughtful, like a grandmother…
Smart, intelligent, perceptive, like a college professor…
Caring, compassionate, intuitive, like a nurse…
Selfless, giving, open-hearted, like Mother Theresa…

And to be well, means to be what?

Physically and emotionally healthy.
Balanced.
Centered.
At peace with oneself.

Mirriam Webster’s online dictionary tells us
To be WISE is:

characterized by wisdom : marked by deep understanding, keen discernment, and a capacity for sound judgment; and suggests great understanding of people and of situations and unusual discernment and judgment in dealing with them.

To be WELL is:
To live to an extent approaching completeness; without doubt or question; in a kindly or friendly manner; with skill or aptitude; where wellness is the quality or state of being in good health especially as an actively sought goal.

For me, the secret to being a wise, well woman is really no secret at all…

A wise, well woman is one who presents her authentic self to the world
each and every day, with joy and pride, and encourages others to do the same.
She shares her truth with courage, openly and honestly.
With passion, the wise, well woman lives life on life’s terms.
She chooses each moment to step bravely in the direction of her higher purpose. The wise, well woman extends love to all.
She is guided by a deep faith in the God of her choosing, and
she carries a message of hope to all those in need.

And who might I use as a role model? Pat and Ruth Williams compiled a wonderful book called “How to Be Like Women of Influence”, full of more than enough incredible women to chose from:

Mary Kay Ash, Anne Frank, Golda Meir, Helen Keller, Oprah Winfrey, Eleanor Roosevelt, Mother Teresa and Sandra Day O’Connor, are just a few mentioned here.

Each of these women has been an inspiration to so many! Who is your “woman of influence” ?

And who might you be influencing today?
Someone is looking up to you. Are you living as a wise, well woman?

In the spirit of wisdom, wellness and prosperity—
