Other Foot It
I really think that a great deal of the problems great and small, would be solved or never happen if people would just “other foot it” – you know put the shoe on the other foot and think….now would I want someone to do that me or someone I love…..just pondering.
Emotional Terrorism
What is the deal these days with male and female friendships? I just completed my third phone call within the last month or so regarding male and female friendships and the mess that stemmed from it.
Here is the bottom line:
Ladies, if you are stroking his hair, feeding him tiny morsels of food or nuzzling his ear, after a while he is going to think that you are interested in progressing the “supposed” friendship into a dating relationship….
Guys, if you are wining and dining, snuggling on, talking about a future with your friend who happens to be a girl, or saying or treating your “girl” friend in a way that that you would NEVER say or treat your guy friends……
Then don’t be surprised when your friend starts getting a little googley eyed toward you and the expectations change. And….before you call them crazy, a stalker, or say that they lied to you about being your friend, it might be a good idea to check yourself and ask what did you do to contribute to this situation.
Leading someone on is nothing short of emotional terrorism. And, like any act of terrorism there is destruction that follows, the only thing is that the person who caused the destruction doesn’t stick around to see the damage. Stop it already!

Victory
Today I wear the victory…..
I have learned that it is not good enough just to have the victory, it must be worn. Not worn like a peacock flaunting feathers but rather with grace and humility, worn with a thankfulness that you are still standing in the midst of and perhaps even on the other side of the battle.

That Kind of Love
Went shopping this weekend for plants and flowers to decorate my home. I was surrounded by all kinds of beautiful flowers which would have looked great within my decor, but I couldn’t buy them all. I had to narrow down to the one that would bring together every facet of my home. That’s a lot like love. There are a lot of beautiful and wonderful people in the world, but there is one who will compliment you, your life and your purpose more than anyone else. The one who will still stir your heart and make butterflies flutter as if you just met, except it’s 20 years later. If you have that kind of love, treasure and nurture it. If you dont, trust that it will come and know that you don’t have to compromise or play dirty to get it.
True Joy of Living
Those who are in constant pursuit of perfection miss out on the true joy of living. My path has been scattered with the bumps and trials of life, they all have colored me the “hues” of who I am today. With all my imperfections I say that I am thankful for the road behind me, grateful for today and trust God for tomorrow….
