Women's Voices

Women like to plan and prepare, but as hard as we try to see the way ahead, the things that change our lives often come when we are not looking for them.

It could be a book we read (one woman we know started a writing career after reading essays by Joan Dideon); it could be a sermon we heard, or it could be the confidence expressed in us by a parent, teacher, or mentor. Perhaps attending a ceremony - wedding, funeral, graduation - helped bring your own life, and the direction you wanted it to take, into sharper focus.

Some women can point to the exact moment they chose their career - whether it be medicine, music or making cakes. For others, there is something that affected their marriage, their decision to move, or stay, to go back to school or take in a relative in need. It could be about the influence one person had on the way you decided to live your life.

For The News' Women's Voices column, we would like to hear from Western New York women about the defining influences on their lives. Who knows? You could inspire someone else.

Send your essay (up to 700 words) to voices@buffnews.com and include your name, e-mail and daytime phone number. The columns are published on Saturdays, with a photo of the author. Submissions must be by email and cannot be promotional in nature or anonymous.
