Getting 'un-stuck'

"I am concerned about several issues such as quality education for every child and health cost - lowering or using tax dollars more efficiently, which is another concern, and or of course, improving quality of life in general. Therefore, I seek to nurture leaders personally and professionally-I believe when others become successful then I'm successful!"

Okay, check this out…

By Women for Women
Report from the Futurist Cathy Olofson

Scenario
"At the current rate of social change, women won't achieve full equality to men until the year 2270. But women won't be that patient. They'll become economic separatists, rejecting the corporate and social status quo, and instead look for ways to create their own opportunities. We see it now: Women are choosing smaller, more flexible companies over traditional ones. Today, more American women work for women-owned businesses than for the Fortune 500. Continued frustration with the intransigence of large corporations - their reluctance to promote women more aggressively or to adopt more family-friendly policies - will prompt women to look for even more radical ways to bring about economic equality."

So What?
"We'll see the rise of women-centered economic activism. Women will choose to work for, and to buy products from, companies owned and run by women. Companies will have to be accountable to women or risk decline. Companies will have to disclose their hiring, paying, and promoting practices regarding women."

After reading this article, here’s my quandary: What can women do to get their valued pay scale in the workplace? I have a master’s degree but I’m having difficulty with accepting my current income…and I can’t get unstuck?

God bless Kim Eagles.
Please reward her with joy and a feeling of success for each and every encounter she persues.
I, for one, have never been invited to a woman's on-line faith based support blog!!
I find this a very refreshing idea.
I could use someone to pray with me right now. I have taken on a big project which has evolved into unfinalized collaborative efforts.Please pray with me that I will be directed to the right people, have a concrete plan in place, and meet deadlines in a timely manner. Lord, you know my capabilities and my passion. I ask for the ability to know the best way to accomplish my goals and the courage and determination to complete the work I started. I need faith and confidence in myself and I would like to love myself more.
I guess it may be a good idea to not move ahead too fast...to let it settle before moving ahead... Kim advised me before to "stay positive" This is easier said than done sometimes. It will help me to think about the many options I have as exciting opportunities and possibilities to consider which could be fantastic ideas to implement, instead of fearing failure. Thanks, Kim, for inviting me to write and share. Deb"e

Deb,
Be encouraged in knowing this:

ROM 8:35
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
ROM 8:36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
ROM 8:37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
ROM 8:38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
ROM 8:39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
