What's up with Roles?

As we launch Divanation, we work to get our hands 'round the best way to "term" what we have been terming as Roles. Roles are the things women do for which they feel responsible, those things for which they take responsibility, both on their own accord and by and through the expectations of others. In taking up or living in Roles, the chances of getting lost or the temptation to meet someone else's or social expectations come into play. When that happens, there's the likelihood that the callings that drive us get covered over--subsequently we often try to be perfect, or everything to everyone. When we do this work, life, and day-to-day living become hectic and overwhelming. When we are in that place we loose sight of the relationships that are truly meaningful to us. It is in these relationships that we find our identity, our passions, our callings--the colorful richness of living. When in our Roles, in trying to be perfect, we find only distance and distress and frustration.

We are interested in thoughts you have. How do you experience those instances of Perfect...How do you find your Passion, and reclaim your relationships?
