Day 31 of My 40 Day Fast: I Realize the Impracticality of Women Staying in the Home
Because, money
One of my previous posts, What Would Happen if Women Stayed Home, has me in reflection. Women can’t stay out of the workforce because a lot of us have to work, myself included. You can read what I wrote by clicking on the story below.
The post stemmed from another post I wrote about how women can remove disease from the bloodline. Our duty, first and foremost, is to heal our bodies and our mental and emotional state before having children so that we raise healthy and well-adjusted humans. We then pass our wisdom to our children in order for future generations to preserve a bloodline healthy.
The health of the family is the responsibility of women. The only way we can truly do that is to stay home because working outside of the home leaves little time to even cook a healthy meal. You can read about how to remove disease from the bloodline by clicking on the story below. I have also posted my story about why women need to stay home.
I have a tendency to get preoccupied in my spirituality, and then not ground that spirituality into real world matters. I’m a work in progress.
Women have dreams and aspirations. There are women who want to sing for the world, and some work towards becoming a top athlete. They are starting businesses, killing it in the legal courts, making discoveries in laboratories, etc.
Accomplishment is empowering. I was over the moon when I sold and published my first piece to a media outlet. I loved the feeling of independence that came with purchasing my first car. I could go anywhere I wanted wherever I wanted. I get butterflies inside when I think about owning my first home.
I write for my own pleasure, because if I don’t the world feels askew. I write on here, and I like to let my creativity flow with fiction writing. It would be great if people read and enjoyed my work.
Women staying out of the workforce is not practical. The notion that I put out is that if women pulled out of the workforce, housing prices would become unsustainable. The banks set mortgage rates according to the fact that households have two incomes, which drives up the cost of living. A lot of women, like myself, don't have the choice to not work.
I just feel like the banks really have us by our throats. I advocate for women staying home and taking care of the health of the family in order to prevent disease from entering the bloodline, but so many women I know have to go back to work once their maternity leave is over even though they want to stay home with their children. I have a friend who lives in America and maternity leave is so short there she was still breastfeeding when she went back to work.
What's a girl to do? I have been mulling this over. I have meditated on it. I even put it out to God for answers. When I went to through my healing process, I still am I don’t think it ever ends, I did it while working full time. I researched the body and health for years. I read academic journal articles, and books. I listened to talks about the latest science and developments. I tried different diets and foods to see what worked for my body. I listened to other’s healing journey’s to learn what worked for them.
I am still healing, but I’m in a good place. Before I have children I intend to fully heal my body so I pass on a healed body to my children, but it’s not just about passing on a healed body. I also need to heal myself mentally and emotionally so that I can raise them in a healthy environment, and then teach my children how to do that. This is why we must go through the healing process before having children.
My plan is to set myself up so that when the time arrives for me to have children I can stay home and ensure the health of my family. We can go out into the world and reach for our dreams, but removing disease from the bloodline and ensuring it stays out for generations to come is our duty. If we can find a balance then we really can do it all.
