My PeArL of the day - Saturday

 Today, my PeArL of the day is just a small one, a little saying I write on my mirror in marker. I like it and I hope y'all like it too!

 "A real woman stands up for what she believes in, even if it means being hated for it. A real woman takes no less than what she deserves. A real woman does not reminisce her past mistakes, but learns from them & looks to the future for better. A real woman does not give up but presses on. A real woman is totally faithful to those she loves. A real woman shows strong faith in the hard times, not only the easy ones."

-Kendra Richards

 I know, it may not be the prettiest little words in the world, but to me, these few sentences are what gets me through. They are what reminds me of my strength and faith. Without faith, you have nothing. I hope it can bring you some joy too, I know it's not as fun as my usualy PeArLs (..or are they even fun?! lol) but, I thought maybe just one of you would find hope in it.

Blessings and much love to y'all!

Women - crazy, overly emotional wacko's or just simply human?

 For centuries women have had this reputation of being overly-emotional-whacko's-that expect men to be mind readers. Have you ever wondered why women do these things that seem so bizarre? Well, I am here to further explain... and hopefully change your mind! If I fail then, I do apologize but, please be a little open minded.

 Let me just simplify this:

Women: when men have done something that upsets us we put on our "bitch face" and refuse to speak.

Men: Eventually realize the problem isn't going away so they ask "What is wrong?" This usually results in the man being chewed out and possibly even given a black eye. Then, in most cases the female will say something along the lines of "you mean to tell me, you have no idea why I'm upset?" The male is totally confused. What do we think men are mind readers? That's probably what the man will say in these situations.

Women: We don't see it that way. We see it as he upset us. Now, he's no clue why we're upset and thinks we think he's a mind reader. We don't expect men to be mind readers, just body language readers. It's not easy to just come out and say "Look, you are pissing me off." We use body language to speak just as much as we use words to speak. So, we just think men are crazy for not noticing we're pissed.

 So, really all most women want (in this particular area) is for the male to notice her upsets and to us, noticing = caring. When the male addresses the reason why she's upset, that can make a world of difference. Nobody wins! or, even better everybody wins!

You see? You address her needs, and she's happy. When she's happy, she makes YOU happy. Are you with me here?
