Looking at my ever growing -TO DO List..............It now becomes divided into two categories.  The First is MUST be done and the second is Want to Work on.   The duties and responsibility of raising children, running a home, tending to partner is sometimes honestly the least appreciated of any jobs by most.  Including those that you raising or tending to.   But it is my time and energy that I extend and sacrifice to do these things..........so I began a quest.  That quest was seeking out the most appropriate Goddess of Time and Multi-tasking.   


 Hence step forward Goddess Kali the Hindu "Dark Mother Goddess".  She  is represented as fearsome to behold.  With 4 arms often one holding a sword and one holding the head of the demon she has just slayed.  Her other two arms are to receive and bless her children and followers.   Her three eyes representing past, present, and future for her name alone is time.  It is Kali who devours Kala (Sanskrit for Time) and now it is Kali who gives it her own form.


Despite her appearance and sometimes actions -she is also embraced as a very nurturing compassionate Mother to those who seek her.   She shares a most loving and intimate bond with those who seek her in her role of Mother. 

My child, you need not know much in order to please Me.
Only Love Me dearly.
Speak to me, as you would talk to your mother,
if she had taken you in her arms." 

So I think in regards to trying to fulfill all my duties and roles -I shall ask for assistance from Kali.  Allow me two arms to embrace by family and two more for the tasks that I need and want to do.  I ask for her assistance in regards to time and taking care of all my duties including those that I have given to myself.

I also invite anyone else to explore and come to know The Mother Goddess that is Kali.
