You Are Somebody

I must say, I have been witness to a lot of "stuff" but lately, the "stuff" is becoming more and more intense . . . and more and more unexplainable. For instance, some of the things that I see young ladies going through nowadays really should not be. Why do I say this? Quite simply. Young ladies should learn from the mistakes that others have already made. If I already know that the pot on the stove is hot, guess what? I'm not touching the hot pot.

The anger, heartache and confusion that so many of our young ladies experience is sad and it pulls at my heart. They seem to put a relationship above their well being hoping that things will get better at some point. They seem to endure disrespect and humiliation because they don't want to be the one with the relationship that went south. They remain in unhealthy situations because they are not sure what a healthy realationship is. But if I can say one thing to those young ladies who are lost and have no idea where to turn next, I would simply say "love you more than you love him".

Many women have been in situations where they've been made to feel like they are worthless and insignificant. And if you are a man that has placed such a title on a woman, shame on you. But this isn't about the men, this is about the women. The woman is who I care about and it is the woman that can change things for the better.Women are the backbone of this society. We are natural nurturers and we love because that's what our makeup is about. Women need to recognize that so many women have "been there and done that" so look to those things that woman have done and follow their example. If you know a woman that has escaped a situation and her life is much happier because of it, mimic what she's done. Rely on someone for help. Don't ever use the phrase "well, I just don't know what else to do". When in situations that are not beneficial for us, we know exactly what to do. We sometimes choose to NOT do them because we are programmed to accepting what should not be.

If you are programmed to accept disrespect, I encourage you to change your programming. If you think you don't deserve better, please know that you deserve much better. If you are afraid to do something different, I am here to tell you that God has NOT given us the spirit of fear. Shake yourself off and be all of the woman that you are destined to be!

Ladies, we have an abundance of power and we don't even recognize it. Don't allow yourself to remain in a situation that is not healthy for you. You are more than what people think of you. You are somebody . . . and there is absolutely nothing that anyone can do about it!

Smooches . . .
