The Single Woman Says I have a question

When The Single Woman Says: ‘I have a question‘.

When did our relationship status become symbolic of our status in life?

When did someone decide it takes โ€œputting a ring on itโ€ to give a woman value and worth?

And when did โ€œsingleโ€ become synonymous with โ€œdesperateโ€? In the post-modern, post-sex & the City, post-Spice Girls world we live in, hasnโ€™t the notion of โ€œGirl Powerโ€ caught on yet?

It seems that although women have had the right to vote for decades now, they still donโ€™t have the right to vote for how theyโ€™re going to spend their own lives.

So, as the fierce and fabulous Martina McBride would say: โ€œThis oneโ€™s for the girls.โ€

This oneโ€™s for the girls who believe in love but also believe in themselves. The ones that have looked settling in the eye and walked away.

The ones who know their worth better than to accept a life less than the one they deserve. The girls who happen to prefer registering for pole-dancing aerobics to registering for china.

The girls who choose margarita parties over Tupperware parties. The girls who know they donโ€™t need a ring to singโ€ฆor a mate to be great.

The girls who know that ME has to come before WE. The ones who know that late blooming roses are often the sweetest.

The ones who like owning their own schedules, their own weekends, their own independence. The ones who boldly chart their own path even if it doesnโ€™t include a white picket fence.

Read Stay Single Until You Meet A Guy Like This

The ones who hope for romance but with or without it, crank up the music and DANCE. The girls who donโ€™t allow their joy to depart simply because love hasnโ€™t yet arrived.

At the end of the day, next time you check the box โ€œSโ€ for single, remember this: Single is no longer a lack of options โ€“ but a choice.

A choice to refuse to let your life be defined by your relationship status but to live every day Happily and let your Ever After work itself out.

Whether or not you have someone in the passenger seat, you are still the driver of your own life and can take whatever road you choose.

So the next time you hit a speed bump otherwise known as the age-old question โ€œWhy are you still single?โ€ look โ€˜em in the eye and say: โ€œBecause Iโ€™m too fabulous to settle.

      What appears in the Bible is a misrepresentation of women's role. As in American history. When the story revolves around men and the powerful, you don't hear the other parts. It has to be "teased out" by reading historical accounts, anthropological finds — in short, between the lines. Check out some theology done by women. Were you aware that the only person in the entire New Testament who spoke back to Jesus to correct him was the Syro-Phoenician woman. He didn't have the time to heal the daughter of a pagan woman from "out of town' .. and she challenged him. And he healed her daughter. (Matthew 25). But they did not even record her name. Mark 7:25-30/Matthew 15:21-28

How to Stop Seeking External Validation and Start Loving Yourself

Things You Need To Know To Stop Seeking External Validation

From the moment we are born, our lives depend on the approval and care of those around us. This need for acceptance is ingrained in us from birth and grows stronger as we get older which then affects our behavior, relationships and self-worth. At its core, the desire for seeking external validation is a search for love, connection, and a sense of belonging. However, when we begin relying on this external validation as our primary source of self-worth, we may find ourselves trapped in an endless loop of seeking approval that often comes at the expense of inner peace and authenticity.

But hold on a secondโ€”why are we allowing the outside world to dictate our inner values? That’s exactly what we’re going to discuss today.

Fear of Rejection? Here’s How to Finally Overcome It

Fear of Rejection? Here's How to Finally Overcome It

We often think of fear of rejection in terms of feeling cast out from the group or abandoned. This fear is a common symptom of complex ptsd, due to rejection by the primary caregiver.

However, a subtler form of rejection can make you avoid asking for what you want. You fear this perceived rejection (and it is only perception) so much that youโ€™d rather eliminate any chance of getting what you want than ask for it.

The fear that prevents you from asking for what you want is the chance you might hear the word โ€˜noโ€™. Thatโ€™s because as a child, being told you couldnโ€™t have what you wanted was so commonplace youโ€™ve come to expect it.

Thatโ€™s not to say you will never hear โ€˜noโ€™ when yo
