What defines a __________________Woman?
She = a healthy body, a sound mind, and a tranquil spirit
In the beginning, was the Word, and the Word was God, and the Word was with God.
Genesis 1:1. John 1:1
We have been doing what other people are doing - or telling us to do - for so long that we are, most of us, afraid to let God take over. Afraid to do what God says.
I think it’s high time we can admit that. It is scary to be obedient to Spirit. To tap in and Hear and Know and Obey. In fact, it can be frankly weird and unnerving. But it is worth it. That’s all I’m saying; that for whatever nerves and pains and pangs it costs you, it is worth it to listen for God as it speaks. And then do as it says.
She is within you. My mission is to help you discover her.
God just kept talking to me and I just kept doing what God said." Jasai
Greetings! I'm Hakikah
One day I decided to surrender my life to God and follow God's lead to becoming a whole, healed woman. I had to surrender my past, my story, my hurts, and my successes. Stuck in a bit of a rut I wanted to become unrecognizable to myself. I had a vision of the woman that was living within me. My actual role model was my own mother, an amazing woman who at 60, after raising 6 children, married and retired from a nursing administrator, graduated from college, learned to drive and play piano, and traveled. She lived to be 97, well respected, and happy with her life and her choices. What a legacy!
People like to use the phrase, "They took control of their health and life." To a certain extent, I did too. My methodology was through surrender. I prayed, asking God, that whatever was within me, let it take root, grow and bloom. It was, and is, my responsibility to water, nourish and maintain it.
That's not easy, transformation, reinvention, whatever you want to call it, especially in midlife, is not easy. It takes courage and a belief in yourself that you don't even know you have.
I know what it truly takes to change. I also know what it feels like when life takes an unexpected turn that forces us to reassess our priorities and reimagine the future. I think you do too.
Even being over 60 and unsure if there was any use for me, I vowed to make the most of my time whether it was another year or another 50.
By the time we reach midlife, most of us have faced some choices and challenges that have thrown our lives out of balance – a divorce, caring for an aging parent, an empty nest, a job change, a health crisis, or simply a general sense of dissatisfaction or anxiety. On top of that, hormonal changes throw our bodies out of balance.
It’s a ‘perfect storm’ that completely upends our sense of identity and security. Most women feel powerless, convinced that ‘this is what happens as you get older’ and ‘it’s all downhill from here’.
Well, I’m here to tell you that could NOT be farther from the truth. With the right attitude, information, and strategies, each and every woman can navigate these times of transition, boldly recreate herself and live out her ideal future.
I’ll show you exactly how to do it! You already have everything you need.
