I am a firm believer that every
young woman who can, should have two priorities prior to marriage. One is to
travel. The other is to get a degree in something that they love; a Bachelor's
Degree will due. The sanctity of marriage is precious, however, I have found
that once a young girl marries and children come, it will be a long while, if
ever, that she will have the freedom or the time to travel. I told my daughter
this many years ago and feel every daughter should be told the same thing.
Children need to know there is more
to this world than what they see everyday. Once you get out of the safety of the home bubble, the world is
a fabulously mysterious place… a place where one can become centered/ focused,
even humbled. A single plane ticket can bring clarity and perspective. Women
who live here…and by here I mean in the US, have many freedoms that women in
other parts of the world do not. Even if they do not agree with all the things
we do, I think they would like to have the right to choose.
Marriage is settling, and
stabilizing. Bravo!
But in the scope of
things, if it is meant to be, it can be…
later. So, encourage your
daughters to travel; there's a lifetime of wonders out there. Travel can make
our them rich in experience…one who is a little more knowledgeable about people
and the many things that are important to us as women. When their eyes are
opened to the truths as they see them… with their own eyes… they'll be more
equipped to make sound judgments. Chances are they will be freed from the bias
opinions of others and better able to form their own opinions. This is what
strong women are made of! Now take a break and visit
RoundAbout Beauty…and always invite the positive.
