Wk#6 - Eureka!!

Why is it so hard for the sexes to communicate? You extend yourself to keep someone in the loop and your looked upon as wanting to get to know that person or sucking up. How do you approach a person without it being mistaken for an evening out, but more as a way of open dialogue between two (2) people that may incorporate others to participate (like a book club). We can start up a conversation with someone when we are upset about a situation - we talk to a total stranger about personal issues that we cannot present to our love ones, yet we are either misunderstood or viewed as promiscuous when we ask what's wrong or can I help.

Can We Talk! How was your day? What made it so great? Is there something you would like to share with me or anyone who would take the time to listen? I would like to strike up a conversation with you to understand what someone else missed, in that last conversation, that put you over the edge. Talk to me... I'm Listening!

There's that nurturing stuff we keep talking about as females and speaking within that personal tone - to share our experiences and verse our communication skill because sometimes the receiver just doesn't get it. Listen closely - I Am Speaking the Queens English.. Gees!

Can we slow down because I cannot understand what we are racing to or from, but we get there quickly and than stay busy until it's time to sleep and no one seems to know what the others day was about or if there are any changes.

Take the time to Listen, Take the time to Hear what others are saying and what's going on around you. Be Positive, so that positive things can take place. Slow down because Life isn't going fast, we are.

Live, Love, and Be Blessed

I agree with you; however, a child needs both parents to have an understanding of the world and themselves. It takes a village to raise a child and knowing this we all serve a part in raising a child from church, school, and etc.. Some people still have that slave mental that dictates mom rearing and developing the male child (while dad is in flight and preaching of his struggles) and each child raised in the same household has a different rearing that is needed to enable and maintain strength of self and a determination of what is right from wrong. Nonetheless, it takes all of us and sometimes it becomes a struggle when we can talk about it, but who is out there to be about it.

Amazingly so, I do not watch T.V. based on this topic and others. Because the concept that females are either "air" heads or "gold diggers" does not appease me and my values of quality time with my family. T.V. has become a bigger idiot box for all, not just children. We are fascinated by others hardships, struggles, and just plain "BS" trials. Have we really become a society with nothing more to do than watch others make fools of themselves? Maybe I' being hard - I think NOT! If I turn on the T.V., I have to monitor what I'm watching because my nephews are anticipating viewing whatever I watch and children seem to pick-up thing quicker than you and I, of yesteryear. Nonetheless, there are shows, documentaries, and other programs that view women and their accomplishment and these are shows that I enjoy watching with my family; however, corny they may find me. It's hard to raise children with values when right in your living room, bedroom, kitchen, family room and any other room with a T.V. (and that's another topic - 4 ppl in a house and thirty (30) Television sets... ROFL!) females are displayed in derogatory roles that have other females depicting it as the way of getting by in society. Dress up, look good, play simple, and you can't have whatever you want. Be a model, throw up and you’ll be loved by all..

Double standards in every way because there were times while getting a pedicure a male would enter the nail salon requesting the same services as I and would be greeted with stares or giggling. We should be able to enjoy life and all that is available to us because we only live once; and when we take the time to care about what other people think the enjoyment goes out the door..

No matter how advance a society is we still remain deprived in accepting change, others, and life.
You work hard for your money, so you should be able to play hard and if playing hard means tanning and enoying the beauty of a coppery bronze tone - make it happen. And any other male who enjoys doing the same or getting a bikini wax - do you..

Peace Be Still!!

This is why women were created from the back bone of men because men truly need our support, understanding, and darn sure our compassion. We are the pillar of strength that make s life easier for them, for nothing is perfect, but we seem to have a way of making things workout.

Congrats 10 Year Survivor! I hope all works out for your friend and her family and I know when it comes down to it that your husband and Rich will begin speaking on the fears that they didn't wish to discuss. We all digest things differently and maybe that's exactly what's going on here.. But everything will work itself out in due time. Believe it or not the first step began when your husband went over with you to their home and that say's a lot.

God Bless and Thanks for Sharing.

Wk# 5 - Common Ground

In no way do I find myself equal to a man, when I know that his brain is larger than mine. His physique is broader, stronger, and he's able to leap tall buildings in a single bound. ROFL!!


No matter what are male counter parts do to exhibit how strong and fearless they are, they don't fool me because I believe they are as insecure, indecisive, and wanting to share their most inner thoughts with woman but figure woman will consider them weak and they would be correct. Because I don't need anyone to tell me to go downstairs with a bat because "they" heard a noise... FOOL, GET ADT!


On a serious note, men play an important part in the lives of women and we need to state our appreciation. When I speak of men, it's not just a boyfriend or husband. I am speaking of Grandfathers, Dads, Uncles, Brothers, and other males who played an important role in your life that might have set you straight or lead you to believe that there were good men in the world. Maybe a good male friend who has helped you along the way, whether they had a motive the situation deemed workable because of that person.


As life goes bye we woman feel we NO longer need a man, but you would be at a lose for saying such a thing. A dads love is important and necessary to a young girls development because dad tells her how beautiful she is and mom may say the same, but it's different from dad. He helps the daughter to learn the signs and gestures of young men and provides techniques in cautioning the tricks boys play to seize the moment.


Now women play and essential part in the lives of men as well because they share in nurturing and developing skills of mannerism and how to use that "inner voice" when going indoors. Women go as far as to advise men as to what females are looking for in a man and how to present themselves when approaching a lady.


Each one of us holds an important piece to this pie called "Life" and we must be willing to share in teaching each other the differences which make us such a diverse species. We can learn all we want to in life but if we do not apply it in our daily routine - what have we learned?


Open your mind, your heart, and your soul (which are your eyes) to the uniqueness of what the world has to offer, for life is what you make it. "Don't count the days, Make the days count!"

Wk# 4

There comes a time when you must take a moment to see things for what they truly are and learn to let go..

I'm always "Thinking" about what's next in my relationship. How can I communicate better with my mate and how to interact with him without it being consider, "NAGGING!" Relationships require a full time position of learning, understanding, respecting, and bridging the gap from prior relationships that we hold consciously and it stirs things up and becomes broader and discouraging. Nonetheless, it's a work in progress and we must struggle to make it work; however, I don't believe that it should be so hard. Why is it so easy to meet and hard to find a common ground? You know why it's hard? We become settled in our ways and are stubborn to let go and let change relieve us of past burdens. Everyone is believed to have a motive or unable to be themselves because you're ready to critique the moment something goes wrong. Learn to let go and you will see how any relationship that you're in will grow and blossom with time. Take time to smell the roses and really get to know what the true meaning of mate is and maybe we can work on others, but now lets sit back and work on us...

Love and let love - Learn to Let Go...

GAY ADOPTION?


MONDAY, JUNE 7, 2010

Gay Adoption ?

Are you considered a bigot or intolerant if you don't agree with Gay Adoption. Should everyone regardless of their lifestyle, single, married, gay, old, young, etc. be allowed to adopt a child? Is this a topic that you have to have a side? Or, should it be a case by case decision? Use the link below and check out this video from early last month (May 2010). What are your thoughts on Gay Adoption?
COMMENT:

Neither, the plight may not be a concern of yours, for everyones fire is not the next persons. Understanding that religion plays a factor as to what is believed to be morally stable. Does not mean Christ condemned us from helping one another or providing assistance? Should we view the earthquake in Haiti as a form of punishment for not behaving in a christian like way, so christians or believers should not send aide? The true value of adoption is providing infants, children, and young adults with the love and essentials needed to become an active participant in society. Having both parents aide in the development of children doesn't deem it the only possibility of having a family relationship or a successful family structure. None of us come with a manual to teach us how to love, cherish, and develop a child, so when does it become an issue as to who raises one. There are children being abused and killed by their parents (mother and father). Does the title really matter? Not at all, as long as the goal is set, and that goal is to love, feed, shelter, educate, and provide stability to enrich children's lives and the family.

Week#3 - Respons to Linny's Topic

The body is a Beautiful Sculpture and it should be admired and respected and these MtoF displayed just that with the desire to express themselves... "Love Me, See Me!" There are laws in place to prohibit littering or do not swim areas but displaying breast has become a legal issue within the 21st century. When? Oh, Yes! When women began nursing in public places...OMG! It's highly acceptable to paint the Mona Lisa's Smile, but let someone change it and display her bosom would be an outrage.. Is society sexually deprived? What was wrong? Another women viewed them as perkier than hers and called the cops? A % of society is accepting to change, yet there are many who believe we are moving to fast and that change is not always good and before it gets out of hand - they will take matters into their own hands. Maybe there right. Because you can take a small step for man kind but 4 steps back for anything out of the ordinary.

Week#2

We each play a significant role and we must find out what that is? If it is for you to be single and carefree. Married with children, whether that be a heterosexual relationship or homosexual. Are lives must be lived by us and not governed by what society believes to be. We try to please others moral expectations of us that it restrains us from being all that we can be. The same way the Sun comes out and provides the warmth, light, and the rays to help living things grow is the same way that we as individual should be able to express ourselves and be able to grow.


I would love to have a world where we all come together as a "Melting Pot" and love happily (endless), live in peace, and communicate in a way that miscommunication does not have time to rear its ugly head. Yet, I am here and willing to exercise that inner feeling with those known and unknown to bring forth understanding that we all must make a difference and sometimes it begins with 1.
