Trust the Process...

  Trust the process..    International Space Station Interior  Titan Submersible Interior  In the future men and women will colonize earth’s upper atmosphere , and from there return to the Moon, and many more years from now, travel to Mars. Yes, that’s what awaits our descendants! It’s already been proven with the International Space Station that continuous habitation beyond terrestrial earth is possible. Men and women will eventually inhabit the oceans at various depths. Why? There’s an abundance of accessible resources to sustain human life in the sea…under the right conditions. Whether in space or the ocean, new frontiers of human habitation will only be survivable through constant self-preparedness and willingness to comply with the supremacy of physical laws.

They were & are preparedness-driven, against the odds,  to make life better for others. It takes faith, fearlessness, and self-preparedness, to take a stand as a woman, in the past, to the present day!  There are so many women that represent these attributes, who don’t “make the news” or get an award.  We honor them all! "Self-preparedness" has been a significant attribute for women since Biblical times.  As written in Proverbs 31: 15 - 30,  a husband counted a wife's entrepreneurialism and self-motivation, on behalf of her household, as a blessing.  Proverbs 31: 15-30  She gets up while it is still night;      she provides food for her family      and portions for her female servants. ...
