We often celebrate Purim as a time to remember what makes a woman influential and godly at the same time. This morning we had fun imagining Beyonce' and J-Lo competing against Esther in the eyes of the king. A woman has alot of influence in and outside of her sphere. Esther chose to use her influence to preserve life. Esther chose to use her beauty to inspire peace loving. This is not easy. Many woman get high on the power of the visual. Whatever you want is the gaze that is like a trance at times. What do you do or will you do, should that gaze lie upon you? Will you take it as a trust? Will you preserve the lives of those whose admiration you are blessed with? Esther did. Happy Purim!
