Women & Self Steem

Why is it that women have such a hard time coming into themselves?

I truly feel that society confuses us so much, we leave self esteem at the backdoor.

Women often forget themselves.

In the hustle and bustle of life, we forget who we actually are.

We loose ourselves.

We become moms.

We are wives.

We are housekeepers.

Baby-sitters.

Career women.

Nurturers.

Providers.

But somewhere along the lines.

We forget we are ourselves.

One woman...

With our own needs.

We have self esteem for our children.

We are so proud of them.

We grin at our husbands with admiration.

We feed the souls of so many

But when do we feed our souls?

I believe it is time for us women to remember OURSELVES.

How do you feel about this?

Do you share a special ritual with yourself that feeds your soul?

I know daily I can smile and say I have built my children up to be strong self esteemed little people.

But I also know there are nights I lay in bed wondering just exactly who I am.

Speak out ladies, I look forward to sharing your thoughts here!

formula for love

For the single/separated/divorced ones looking for love: there is a formula for love relationships. Yes, there is!

I’ll explain:

If you are a 1, and your partner is a zero, one times zero is zero.

If you are a 1, and your partner is a 1/2, one times 1/2 is 1/2.

If you are a 1, and your partner is also a 1, 1 times 1 is always 1.

When the result of a relationship is 1, that means that your partner is your equal, your soulmate - not your superior nor your inferior. It’s the best relationship a person can have.

That’s what you have to look for: your one, your equal.

Letting Love Speak

Letting “love” speak for you. Have you ever been out in public & watched a sweet elderly couple having the best time of their lives just spending time together? Each time I witness this, I’m reassured in the fact that when two people are truly meant to be together they enjoy everything about their partner. It’s almost as if they are sharing a special “joke” or “internal language” that others simply don’t understand.

When you allow love to speak for you, true feelings are conveyed in a very subtle manner. Something as simple as meeting each other’s gaze & slowing down to “listen” to what the other is saying can reap enormous rewards. Showing your partner how much you adore them by listening & keeping eye contact, creates warm & loving emotions for both of you. It brings forth rich intimacy that is beyond the “physical” & both parties are drawn by attraction into fulfillment and contentment.

Cool idea! Puf! Puf! L-Let’s go!

For Prison Break’s fans with a sense of humour

Two guys, Haywire and Nutcase, were trying to escape from the mental institution they were in. The building had ten huge walls surrounding the propriety, specifically made to prevent these escapes. But our two friends were adamant and one night they managed to leave the building when everyone else were sleeping, and reached the first wall.

Nutcase: Now, what do we do?
Haywire: We run.

Nutcase looks at him, confused.

Hay: Uuuh… We climb this wall?
Nuts: Yeeees! Good boy!
Hay: We gonna need wood! Wood floats, you know?
Nuts: You mean, we’re gonna need a staircase, right?
Hay: Right!

Haywire looks around.

Hay: Where’s Larry?
Nuts: Who’s Larry?
Hay: My dog.
Nuts: There’s no dog around here.
Hay: Oh… Okay! Come on, let’s get the staircase!

They go back into the house, grab an enormous staircase and turn back to the wall. They climb the staircase and cross the first wall. Then the 2nd wall, and the 3rd, and so on.

Haywire, hard-breathing by the 7th wall: I’m gonna need the starcase. We need to take it with us.
Nuts: Are… Are you nuts?! Why???
Hays: Because it’s made of wood. And wood floats. And I’m gonna build a raft, put it on the water and go to Holland.
Nutcase, suspicious: Uuuhkaay… Whatever gets you through the night, buddy.

By the 8th wall they were getting really tired, but they made an effort and crossed it, and managed to cross the 9th wall as well. When they reached the 10th wall, they couldn’t even hold themselves on top of their own legs.

Nuts: Puf! Puf! Y… Y… You know… Puf! Puff! I… I’m so… So tired! Pufff!
Hay: Puf! Puff! M-Me too! Puff!
Nuts: L-Let’s go back! Puf! Puf! Let’s go… Go back to sleep… Puf! Puf! We sleep… Puf! Puf! Get some rest… Puf! Puf! And continue tomorrow night!
Hay: C… Cool idea! Puf! Puf! L-Let’s go!

Inner Peace

As human beings we all want to be happy and free from misery.
We have learned that the key to happiness is inner peace.
The greatest obstacles to inner peace are disturbing emotions such as anger and attachment, fear and suspicion,
while love and compassion, a sense of universal responsibility
are the sources of peace and happiness.

~Dalai Lama

and... what do you think?

Although many people actually believe their own excuses, these individuals don't realize that most excuses serve absolutely no valuable purpose. Excuses are lies, false statements deliberately presented as being true, meant to deceive others and the excuse-makers themselves. Excuses are used to cover up such things as laziness, low self-esteem, and fear of failure.

Good Quotation

"Your life is a sacred journey. And it is about change, growth, discovery, movement, transformation continuously expanding your vision of what is possible, stretching your soul, learning to see clearly and deeply, listening to your intuition, taking courageous challenges at every step along the way. You are on the path... Exactly where you are meant to be right now. And from here, you can only go forward, shaping your life story into a magnificent tale of triumph, of healing, of courage, of beauty, of wisdom, of power, of dignity, and of LOVE!

Praying Together

Slow me down, Lord
Ease the pounding of my heart
by the quieting of my mind.
Steady my hurried pace with a vision
of the eternal reach of time.
Give me, amid the confusion of the day,
the calmness of the everlasting hills.
Break the tensions of my nerves and
muscles with the soothing music of the
singing streams that live in my memory.
Help me to know the magical, restoring
power of sleep.
Teach me the art of taking minute vacations,
of slowing down to look at a flower, to chat
with a friend, to pat a dog, to read a few
lines from a good book.
Slow me down, Lord, and inspire me to
send my roots deep into the soil of life's
enduring values that I may grow
toward the stars of my greater destiny.

Take them to the zoo!

A man drives to a gas station and has his tank filled up. While doing this, the clerk spots three penguins sitting on the back seat of the car. He asks the driver:

- What’s up with the penguins in the back seat?

- I found them. I asked myself what to do with them but I haven’t a clue.

The clerk ponders a bit and then he says:

- You should take them to the zoo.

- Yeah, that’s a good idea.

The man in the car drives away. The next day the man with the car is back at the same gas station. The clerk sees the penguins are still in the back seat of the car.

- Hey, they’re still here! I thought you were going to take them to the zoo!

- Oh, I did. - said the driver - And we had a great time. Today, I’m taking them to the beach.
