Women of all ages and walks of life are experiencing challenges each and every day. The pressures of home, family, career and community are overwhelming. While striving to be everything to everyone, resentment and loss of self-worth evolve. Actions and attitudes are influenced by past events and have lasting effects upon their lives. The world tries to squeeze women into its mold how to look, act, live, and eat. These images create the attitude of self-centeredness or its demeaning and women allow the word cant to control them.
