- Go to A woman's role as a healer- what does that mean?
:)
That sounds right! Our mothers always seem to know the right thing to say or do to make everything feel better. I've always found that to be amazing. :)

hiii
A question thats most close to my heart...both as a woman and as a person....i have pondered long that does selfless service give anything in return...to the mothers and wives and sisters and beloveds...
For most part no.....not in the intensity and measure in which it should be acknowledeged..thats why women now choose to prioritize their skills and talent more than their preciebed duty of giving care and affection...all thos ewho dont acknowledged..and even after doing so dont put in effort to give something in return...need a lesson ....
I think we gain only the spiritual peace of giving our love selflessly....but some unawakened women dont even get that...they are tied in the cycle of fulfilling their needs and duty through surrender and acceptance without any question....
i pray that may all those who have given get a life that pays them what they have missed..and on the top of the list will be my mother...who could have been herself...

I think women have it more in their nature to be natural healers than men. They are better listeners and don't jump to automatic conclusions.

Hi, Straightforward,
It's been my experience that women have healing powers in our words as well as our touch. I guess men have those powers too, though some men are not as good at harnessing that power. I also think that this gift of healing is under valued and underrated. Thanks. :)

I read that the worth of a full time housewife's work is about USD 150,000 (a year). That is a lot more than I can make in a year.

I soooooo agree!!!!
I just read an article that talked about how much women should make if they were paid for all the various jobs they do for their families.

AT the moment
I am "Mom, defender of food, calmer of children, cleaner of pukey materials."

Oh and the healing pretty much takes care of itself on this one, so long as no one touches the improper foods or quantities of food...

I'm not at that stage of life yet.
And, apparently, neither is my mother.
