A message to the Women of today:
To encourage the women of today to be kind to each other; we should be each other’s strongest allies; we’re more alike than it seems.

Lacy Enderson is a 45 year old college student, a Christian wife and mother of three grown children, and a grand-mother of two beautiful granddaughters. She has been actively involved in programs of recovery since 1991. She has a degree in Behavioral Science and is currently enrolled in Liberty University's Distance Learning Program earning her BS degree is Psychology/Religion.

Lacy is the author or two books; “Addiction: A Personal Story” and “So you want to lose weight but you can’t stop eating.” She is currently writing a Christian Teenage Fiction as well as freelance writing for a variety of publications.

The Modern Woman has a world full of opportunities available to her. No longer is 40 over the hill; 40 is just the beginning. No longer is college reserved for the young, or a new career out of the question. New doors are opening everyday for women of all ages and the opportunities are endless.

A message to the Women of today:
Don’t let anyone or anything hinder you from realizing your potential. Dream big and then go out and make that dream happen. Don’t let a poor self image keep you from obtaining your goals. Change the way you think about yourself. Fight for your life; you are worth it. And be patient with yourself. Sometimes change takes time; one day at a time. Take each day and conquer a particular goal; take one step each day towards the desire of your heart, and if you continue going forward, never giving up, eventually you will arrive; and the dream will become your reality.
