Hello Girlfriends – The definition of responsible is having a capacity for moral decisions and therefore accountable; capable of rational thought or action. 

I pose two questions….

Are we as women responsible?  If not, how can we be more responsible?

Of course there are the extremes – we as women can be too responsible and not have any fun or allow ourselves to even enjoy life because of too many responsibilities.  We must have balance in life!

Are we being responsible in taking care of ourselves?

Do we exercise, eat healthy meals? 

Are we being responsible in taking care of our needs – or do we ignore our needs and put everyone else’s needs first?  This is part of responsibility.

As women we should also be responsible with our hearts.  It states in Proverbs – “guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life.”  My friend Angie in Indiana mentioned, this doesn’t mean to not let anyone in, but to be careful.  We must be responsible to our heart in order for it to heal and to grow.  Getting too close too soon to people that have hurt us would not be responsible.  Trust me, I have been one of those people that have gotten too close too soon and the heart gets broken again.  Even when we want to love them and care for them – as my girlfriend stated – sometimes it’s best to love and care from a distance.  This may be the responsible thing to do!

Is there an area of our life that we’re being irresponsible with? 

Do we need to get back in balance?

It may be time to do so…..

Remember, may the possibilities of today excite us all!
