The Modern Day Woman…..at what cost….
At the turn of the century, women’s social roles greatly expanded. Back then women were really women, they had loving affectionate personalities and no matter what her conditions were she always made sure that the needs of her family were met, however, by the 1900, living conditions began to change and more and more women had to leave their home life and go out into the working...

MODERN YOUNG WOMEN
Technology has opened an entire world of new contacts to us, but there is a dark side to all this freedom and connectivity. Much as we enjoy interacting, making new friends, being part of the world and fulfilling our need to belong to a group, we could end up losing our own identity in the process. Personally, I think that the most difficult challenge for a young woman in our... Read More
Your Identity
One of the problems that most threatens women throughout the world, regardless of their background, race or education is insecurity. We very easily feel insecure about our appearance, our education, our projects, our talents, our opinions, our manners, our family history – in fact, just about everything. Because of such insecurities, we always imagine every other person more suitable... Read More
A woman’s role model
The Bible teaches that a wise woman builds her house, and the virtuous one far exceeds the value of precious jewellery. What kind of wisdom or virtue can be found in a woman that we could call her a “role model”? Would it be intellectual ability? Love? Or dedication to her home? To the children? To her husband? What really differentiates her from one who does not fear... Read More
I REFUSED TO BE DISCOURAGED

And If
Imagine the reaction of your family if one day you wake up and inform them there will be no meals because you were deeply wondering that if you go to the kitchen to cook a meal, you may burn the food, or you may burn the pot, or you may burn yourself! How about if you cook and your family does not like the meal prepared, and if your family would prefer a snack? Only by writing or... Read More
Who is my Elizabeth?
When Mary, was given the biggest news of her life, she had no husband to confide in. Her first instinct after her visit from the angel of the Lord was to immediately go out and seek Godly counsel from her cousin Elizabeth. Then Mary said, “Behold the maidservant of the Lord! Let it be to me according to your word.” And the angel departed from her. Now Mary arose in... Read More
Irena Sendler – a mother to many
Today is a very special day when we recognize all the efforts and love and care of many mothers who have poured and still do their life on behalf of their children. I also want to praise mothers to many who do not have children of their own but have adopted, cared and loved children who, today, if not by their efforts would have no reason to celebrate mothers’ day. They are those... Read More
Making Time!
This is a very curious expression. All of us are in a quest for time. We all have lots of responsibilities and tasks and challenges and commitments and plans and dreams for one single day and one common complaint: lack of time to grasp all we want, to reach for all we planned, to achieve all that was entrusted to us.
