What's Your Bag?
As we travel through life’s journey, we as women, tend to pick up baggage along the way, disguised as life experiences. It becomes baggage when we drag these unresolved issues around with us everywhere we go. Sometimes, we even pick up someone else’s baggage along the way. By continuing to carry around all of this baggage, we find ourselves tired, beaten down by life, stressed out, and feeling like we have no one to turn to and no place to go.
Some of these bags have been identified below. Each bag represents an issue that you may be experiencing now, have experienced at some time in your life, or one that you are helping someone else to resolve in their life. This list is by no means all-inclusive. But, it is our sincere hope that once you have been able to identify your bag that you are able to"release your baggage, reclaim your life, and renew your spirit."
