You Are a Domestic Goddess
A Domestic Goddess is a woman who takes care of everything. She may or may not work out side her home. She takes care of the home, family, the pets, the bills. All you ladies know what an unthankful and unappreciative job this can be, and when you feel that way just remember, you are all Domestic Goddesses.
Our Identity
Our identity is a very fragile matter. Men seem to be better at identity than women are and it's probably because they often have better careers and they certainly have more titles for their jobs than women ever have had. Men seem to know the importance of labels for their identity. No longer are there janitors but they are now called maintenance engineers. What a difference that makes in identity. One is almost shameful, while the newer title provides an elevated identity. But women? How often have we heard women say, "I'm only a housewife." I think women should say they are "Domestic Goddesses". Many, many women work in underpaid jobs and have no title identity at all.
Alienation
Many women, through circumstances beyond their control, have a life cut-off from many connections because of child-raising, working long hours, and living patterns that leave little time to make other significant connections. And these are the women who suffer the most from feelings of alienation.
Make Some Connections
If life seems bleak, lonely, empty, then it is up to you to make some connections. Make a chart of your life. See how many connections you have and analyze which of your connections provide you with talking acquaintances. Our connection are our lifelines. Unlike relationships, they are steadier, more long-lasting, very often more dependable because they are not terribly intense.
Count your connections as pure gold. Put an ever-increasing number of connections into your life. They will give you a safety net that will help you to combat that feeling of not having a true and sure identity. These connections also spell an end to feelings of alienation.
