Radical Women: Thursday's Reflection

While browsing in a book store I spotted this quotation. Imagine it on a banner hanging outside your home or above the signature on every email you send or on the cover of your next journal. 

Just when you think you lack purpose or meaning or when you feel invisible or out of date or unknown, Gloria comes to the rescue yet again.

When you are tempted to refer to the "good old days," or to shake your head in dismay about the "kids today," remember these words. When you become frustrated with categories--conservative, liberal, progressive, right, left, Christian Evangelicals--try on RADICAL for size.

I don't know what that term means for you or how it would look on you, but what it says to me is, "Wake up." 

It's not too late to make a difference. To find your voice. To be a voice.

It's not too late to learn something new, to try something new.

It's not too late to change your mind about something you were so sure about when you were younger. 

It's not too late to step up or step out. It's not to late to live with passion and conviction and openness and courage. 

It's not to late to influence others, thanks to the wisdom you've acquired along the way. 

It's not too late to live deeper and wider. 

In fact, NOW is the best time.  

An Invitation
In what ways are you becoming more radical? I would love to know.
