      The Superbwoman - Janet M. Neal

      CHAPTER 1:

      SHE’S GOT IT ALL

      They walked into the auditorium, confident and proud: Nubian princesses, Anglo-Saxon queens, Greek goddesses—alone, in pairs, or in a group, chatting excitedly. Bea stared at their eager faces from her place at the registration desk, wondering why these strong women needed to attend an empowerment conference. I should be the one taking this, not them, she thought, as she smiled and handed a packet to the next attendee. In a moment they would be settled in the auditorium, ready to take in the cherished wisdom of today’s speaker, a media icon who had it all. Bea was hoping her work responsibilities wouldn’t keep her from listening in on a bit of the speech. Boy, she thought, I really need it!

      A buzzing from the phone stashed in her pocket jolted Bea back to reality. She stole a glance to see who was calling. It was Abigail’s school—not a good sign. Fortunately, her duties were winding down, and she asked her coworker to cover her position while she scurried off to find a quiet corner to return the call.

      Hi, this is Ms. Parker returning your call, Bea warily announced to the school secretary.

      Oh, hello, Ms. Parker. Abigail is here and needs to talk to you. Bea’s mind raced with myriad reasons why her 12-year-old daughter was calling during school. Was she sick? No, I don’t remember her looking sick. Was she in trouble? Hmm, unlikely, but there was always a first time. Was she hurt? Hope not. Did she forget something?…

      Before she could run through what was missing, Abby interjected. Hi Mom. I forgot to bring my permission slip for the field trip, and I need it today. Can you bring it over? Bea pictured the unsigned slip sitting on the kitchen counter—one more thing she forgot to do last night!

      Oh, sweetie, I can’t, I’m working a conference today.

      But Moooommmmmm… I HAVE to have it! She could tell Abby was on the verge of tears and tried hard to come up with a solution in the moment. There was no way she could leave her work, today of all days, but maybe there was a workaround.

      Listen, Abby, it will be OK. Put Mrs. Spears back on the phone, OK?

      Fine! was the reply, probably garnished with an eye roll for good measure.

      Hi, Mrs. Spears. You probably heard that, but the permission slip is at home, and I can’t get there until after school. Is there any way you can take a verbal OK from me now, and I’ll bring it later when I pick Abigail up? A brief hesitation made Bea wonder if Mrs. Spears was doing an eye roll as well.

      I guess that would be acceptable, she answered. Please do not forget it this evening, though. We’ll be here until 4 p m."

      Four p.m.? Great, Bea thought, I’ll have to leave early. Again. Fine, I’ll be sure to be there by then. Thank you for your help! Can you please put Abigail back on the phone for a minute? Thanks!

      What? Abby answered. Now it was Bea’s turn to roll her eyes. Some days…

      Listen, I just wanted to say it is OK, and I’ll bring the slip later. I’ll pick you up by 4 tonight… I know, it’s early. I have to run, sweetie—have a fun trip!

      OK, thanks, Mom! came the cheery reply. Bea sighed. Well, pre-teens’ moods were certainly changeable! Her 9-year-old-son, Max, may be full of energy, she thought, but thank goodness she still had a few years before he hit this phase as well!

      Bea closed her phone and made her way back to the lobby. As she passed the auditorium door, she paused, then snuck inside to catch a few moments of the talk. She’d seen the speaker on television, but never in person before. Dana Meadows was a dynamic woman who radiated a calm strength, and her words had the crowd mesmerized. Bea looked at the women in the audience, nodding their heads in agreement to what was being said, and realized that something had changed. No longer were these the confident women she’d seen a few moments before. Their demeanor was now one of… what was the word? Bea struggled to think of what it was she was witnessing. Suddenly it hit her: They were looking and acting a lot like her, a stressed-out, overwhelmed, guilt-ridden woman, trying to do it all. She couldn’t believe it. They had no idea how powerful they really were! Could that possibly be true for her as well? As Bea contemplated this new idea, she was jostled back to reality by an opening door. She shook off the thoughts and turned to get back to work. Best to leave that kind of thinking for another day!

      That evening, after the kids were fed, homework was done, and the dog was walked, Bea finally had some alone time. The thoughts from that morning came back to her: What was it that made some women really strong
