The most powerful statement in the Universe is “I am.” Affirm you with the following “I am” declarations:</p><p><em> <img class="alignleft wp-image-3813" src="http://defyimpossible.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/Picture7.jpg" alt="Picture7" width="160" height="221" /> I am a good person.</em></p><p><em> I am becoming the best me possible.</em></p><p><em> I am the truth and I live my truth out loud.</em></p><p><em> I am perfect in my imperfections.</em></p><p><em> I am the answer to people’s prayers.</em></p><p><em> I am wanted.</em></p><p><em> I am adored by God.</em></p><p><em> I am prosperous, affluent, and abundant.</em></p><p><em> I am the way, the truth, and the light.</em></p><p><em> I am open and ready to receive all the goodness of life.</em></p><p><em> I am magnificent—no matter what the past says.</em></p><p><em> I am loved.</em></p><p><em> I am deserving.</em></p><p><em> I am trustworthy.</em></p><p><em> I am kickin’ butt and taking names.</em></p><p><em> I am doing God’s work.</em></p><p><em> I am the one the world has been waiting for.</em></p><p><em> I am… (fill in the blank with the highest possible truth about you that you can own.)</em></p><p><img class="alignright wp-image-109" src="http://defyimpossible.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/lovenote.png" alt="lovenote" width="342" height="87" /></p><p>2. <strong>Scented Secret Santa Love Note.</strong> Take a moment. Think about how you want someone else to value you, acknowledge you, understand and appreciate you. Now give it to yourself. You are your own best thing. Put it on pretty paper. Spray the love note with perfume. Then hide it from yourself. Put it at the bottom of the clean sheets closet or in your winter coat pocket. Then forget about it. When you get to the last set of clean sheets or winter comes, your love note will be there to remind you that you are special and you are loved… by you.</p><p>3. <strong>Tend to your body with tenderness.</strong> Your body is God’s temple. It is the only one you get. Most Black Women who have walked through life’s fire don’t know tenderness. Not with our bodies. I was so used to my body being in pain, I associated pain with being alive. It took purposeful, conscious, and deliberate tender attentiveness to love my body back into wellness. Scented baths, foot massages, energy healings, aligning chakras, rolfing, body work, body wraps, facials, yoga, boxing, weight training, walking, meditation, hand rubs—start small. Touch your face. Your hands.</p><p>Take a deep breath.</p><p>You are here. You are alive.</p><p>You are the miracle.</p><p>Cherish you.</p><p>You matter.</p><p> </p><p>Please post below which one of these practices you will take on this week and why.

You may think that you do not have the experience or the money to even know where to begin. However, a small initial investment could result in high returns for you, by either giving you the capital to grow your business or a new professional direction. There are a number of reasons investing in real estate may be a smart move for your business or your personal finances:</span></p><ul><li><p align="justify"><span style="font-size:14px;">Fixing up and flipping low cost homes could be an added source of income</span></p></li><li><p align="justify"><span style="font-size:14px;">One-time or ongoing property investment offers a high ROI</span></p></li><li><p align="justify"><span style="font-size:14px;">Finding cheap commercial assets or land to expand your business</span></p></li></ul><p align="justify"><span style="font-size:14px;">The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) offers an affordable way to invest in real estate, as they regularly hold auctions and have an online marketplace where they sell assets from failed banks. As there are no bid minimums at the auctions and bids can be placed in person or online, the FIDC offers an easy and affordable way for first time investors to get involved in real estate.</span></p><h2 align="justify"></h2><h2 align="justify">Why is it good for women, minority and small businesses?</h2><p align="justify"><span style="font-family:Cambria, serif;font-size:14px;">To ensure a diversity of participation in the Owned Real Estate (ORE) program, the FDIC welcomes and strongly encourages small, minority and women investors and individuals to participate in the bidding under the program.</span></p><p align="justify"><span style="font-family:Cambria, serif;font-size:14px;">As minority-owned businesses typically receive less capital than non-minority-owned businesses, investing in real estate is an alternative way to build capital. Women are also becoming increasingly <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/dean-graziosi/real-estate-investing-it-_b_3588908.html">empowered to invest in real estate</a> and they’re finding that there is always a profitable strategy regardless of the current market. You no longer have to have a wealth of experience or a lot of initial investing money because of the opportunity to buy affordable previously owned properties and flip them for a high return.</span></p><p align="justify"><span style="font-size:14px;"><span style="font-family:Cambria, serif;">If you’re a first time investor, starting with an FDIC auction is great because of the</span> <span style="font-family:Cambria, serif;"><b>lower prices of property sold through their Owned Real Estate Marketplace</b></span> <span style="font-family:Cambria, serif;">and</span> <span style="font-family:Cambria, serif;"><b>the no bid minimum</b></span><span style="font-family:Cambria, serif;">.</span></span></p><p align="justify"><span style="font-family:Cambria, serif;font-size:14px;">The <a href="http://www.fdic.gov/about/diversity/mwop/index.html">FDIC’s Minority and Women Outreach Program</a> also exists solely to make investing in real estate a reality for women and minorities who may not have been aware of the opportunity. They are eager to offer assistance and education so that you’re well informed on your opportunities for growth.</span></p><h2 align="justify"></h2><h2 align="justify"><span style="font-size:large;"><b>What if you have no idea where to start?</b></span></h2><p align="justify"><span style="font-size:14px;">The FDIC holds information sessions specifically designed to expose and educate small, minority- and women-owned businesses to investing in real estate, as well as individual investors. The sessions focus on the process of acquiring real estate through the ORE Marketplace and any upcoming auctions. In November, there are three information sessions in <a href="https://www.thinkreg.com/coral/register.do?formId=NF1CZP51BMKI">Birmingham, AL</a> (Nov. 12<sup>th</sup>), <a href="https://www.thinkreg.com/coral/register.do?formId=NF1CZP5AHEEM">Hickory, NC</a> (Nov. 13<sup>th</sup>) and <a href="https://www.thinkreg.com/coral/register.do?formId=NF1CZO38UT26">Atlanta, GA</a> (Nov 14<sup>th</sup>). The information sessions are free and also provide a great networking opportunity for attendees.</span></p><p align="justify"><span style="font-size:14px;">If you’re not located near or in any of those states, the FDIC also offers 30-45 minute webinars. There are five webinars in November, on the 5<sup>th</sup>, 7<sup>th</sup>, 18<sup>th</sup>, 19<sup>th</sup>, and 21<sup>st</sup>. As space is limited, you will want to register for your desired date as soon as possible.</span></p><p align="justify"><span style="font-size:14px;">To learn more and register, visit the <a href="http://rgameetings.com/ore/">information session and webinar registration page</a>.</span></p></div>Sisters Under The Feathers: Today's Black Pinup Girls & Burlesque Dancers #8https://mybbwo.com/profiles/blogs/sisters-under-the-feathers-today-s-black-pinup-girls-burlesque-52014-04-02T02:04:41.000Z2014-04-02T02:04:41.000ZK.C.

You can change that.Whether you’re at the beginning of the year or mid year you’ve got to have a plan and move away from traditional resolutions to intentions and commitments attached to effecting <a target="_blank" title="goal setting" href="http://bit.ly/1lZeDBc">goal setting</a> and achievement.</p><p>Life is a gift, and it offers us the privilege, opportunity, and responsibility to give something back by becoming more. Tony Robbins</p><p>It all begins with a decision. God’s gift to you is life and what you do with it is your gift back to Him. Go for more in 2014!</p><p>“Before working with Robin in the Make it Happen 30 days of <a target="_blank" title="empowerment coaching" href="http://facebook.com/RobinTrambleEmpowerment">Empowerment Coaching</a> program, I was looking for a coach that could provide some guidance and directions with the goals that I wanted to achieve. After working with Robin I got more clarity on how to break down my goals and <a target="_blank" title="focus" href="http://bit.ly/1lZeDBc">focus</a> on the areas that I could strengthen. Then I could identify the areas that I needed to work on more in depth and now I have more confidence in pursuing the goals that I have set for bringing my Vision to reality. Robin has a great positive attitude and knows how to work with her clients to help them achieve maximum results. Thanks for all you do Robin and may God continue to Bless you and the GREAT work you do.” Monique Spence</p><p>Whether you want to improve your finances, health, life, relationships, spiritual growth, business or other you owe it to yourself to set aside time to design, create and manifest your ultimate “authentic” lifestyle now!</p><p>Are you frustrated with your goal setting endeavors?</p><p>Are you dealing with broken focus?</p><p>Maybe you’re a <a target="_blank" title="christian woman in business" href="http://authenticlifeempowerment.com/business/dreams-alive-now-activate-with-clarity-of-vision-and-setting-goals-effectively/">Christian woman in business</a>, coach, author or speaker with a great vision but don’t know where to begin with planning and/or how to market your business via online marketing or social media.</p><p>Whatever the case may be it’s important that you know that having an overall goal or clarity of vision is vital to success.</p><p><b>Is there really any benefit to setting goals?</b></p><p>Setting goals is a very significant part of success and positive accomplishments. People who set goals literally create a map of their target achievements in life, marking where they should begin, where to pause, where to delve a bit, and where and when to stop. Once this map is created, it allows the map drawer to check where he is in the scheme of things and whether or not he is making some achievements that will take him closer to his goals.</p><p>All great achievers have goals.

Merchant cash advances- these are loans that are done off of future credit card receipts. It you have an merchant account with flagship merchant, square-up, paypal, or intuit, just to name a few. You can attempt to get a loan without them looking at your personal credit. Although, I still feel you should focus on fixing your personal credit.<br /><br />2. Forming a partnership with some that has access to cash or credit is another good resource. As long as, they have an clear understanding of what portion of the business they would own. This is why Business Credit America encourages entrepreneurs and business owners to setup C-corporations so you can just issue stocks instead of making people partnerships.<br /><br />3. Micro-loans- are made by non-profit organizations, such as Accion (<a href="http://www.accionusa.org" target="_blank" title="http://www.accionusa.org" dir="ltr" class="yt-uix-redirect-link">http://www.accionusa.org</a>), which will grant small loans (up to $50,000) designed to help startups owned by women and minorities, as well as companies that are established in economic empowerment zones. Loans are also available through the Small Business Administration's (SBA) Microloan Program, which lends funds through non-profit community-based intermediary lenders. Microloans are a great option for businesses with bad credit or no credit histories because their credit requirements are typically more lenient. goo.gl/ycLkHf<br /><br />4. Crowd funding- is a resource of private investors that are looking for business to invest in for a higher return on their money. When the banks experienced that financial melt down, they stop lending money to business owners. Many of their investors were not getting good returns on bank cd's, money market accounts, or annuities, so these investors started to lend money to small businesses in return for a better interest rate of return. They don't focus on the personal credit. These investors are looking at the profitability of the business is how they determine who they will invest their money with.<br /><br />5. IRA'S- A lot of people that are still employed or may have access to their retirement plans, may want to consider borrowing from it. The term is called ROB- roll over business. We will discuss how to use the IRA's without being penalized early in the forums.</p></div>JMCC ATTRACT, SORT, AND ASSIGN system and its FREEhttps://mybbwo.com/profiles/blogs/jmcc-attract-sort-and-assign-system-and-its-free2013-09-15T17:09:11.000Z2013-09-15T17:09:11.000ZRickeyhttps://mybbwo.com/members/Rickey<div><p><span class="font-size-3"><strong>JMCC ATTRACT, SORT, AND ASSIGN system</strong> </span></p><p><span class="font-size-3">This is the JMCC way to grow your business!!</span></p><p><span class="font-size-3"><a href="http://www.jusmcc.net" target="_blank">www.jusmcc.net</a></span></p><p><span class="font-size-3">Here is one of the reasons, being a Juniques Multi Cultural Connection member can be so powerful for your business, network, personal, and professional growth. </span></p><p><span class="font-size-3" style="color:#ff0000;">There NO COST to being a Juniques Multi Cultural Connections member!!!</span></p><p><span class="font-size-3">Juniques Multi Cultural Community , using the <strong>Attract, Sort, Assign system</strong> to help grow your business</span></p><p><span class="font-size-3">I am using the <strong>ATTRACT, SORT, AND ASSIGN system</strong> to promote many of the activities I am involved with. </span></p><p><span class="font-size-3">Most people struggle with <strong>HOW</strong> to promote their business. </span></p><p><span class="font-size-3">You can promote any business/service ( so you can share this with those, not interested at all, in any MLM business)</span></p><p><span class="font-size-3">The system is designed to <strong>ATTRACT, SORT, AND ASSIGN</strong> this a my success formula.</span></p><p><span class="font-size-3">We can speak more on this. </span></p><p><span class="font-size-3">This supports the ONE CLICK MARKETING approach. </span></p><p></p><p><span class="font-size-3"><strong>People like free</strong> and you have to plenty to offer with juniques multi cultural connections.</span></p><p></p><p><span class="font-size-3"><strong>People like options</strong>, business or otherwise ( regardless if they share with you or not, they are looking)</span></p><p></p><p><span class="font-size-3"><strong>People like low cost</strong> ( programs are under $30 per month)</span></p><p></p><p><span class="font-size-3"><strong>People want help</strong> - <strong>The Attract,Sort,Assign System </strong>provides training and support for any business (on or off the net)</span></p><p></p><p><span class="font-size-3"><strong>People want simple - ONE CLICK MARKETING IS AS SIMPLES AS IT GETS</strong></span></p><p></p><p><span class="font-size-3"><strong>People want to grow</strong> - <strong>The Attract,Sort,Assign System </strong>develops one personally and professionally</span></p><p></p><p><span class="font-size-3"><strong>People want real</strong> - <strong>The Attract,Sort,Assign System</strong> shows how getting 20 people following you into your business choice guarantees financial improvement - yours and theirs. </span></p><p><span class="font-size-3">Reality - most people, especially those joining MLM companies, quit within 90 days</span></p><p><span class="font-size-3">Most people, especially those joining MLM companies, will not recruit more than 3 people</span></p><p><span class="font-size-3">Most people, especially those joining MLM companies, do not make any money to talk about.</span></p><p><span class="font-size-3">There is an extremely low percentage making "real" money.

Then, sign up for this special and lively upcoming call.</p><p>I will share with you some of my secrets to successful online dating and relationships.

Pullins, CPChttps://mybbwo.com/members/CherylAPullinsCPC<div><p><strong><a href="{{#staticFileLink}}10744096275,original{{/staticFileLink}}"><img width="307" src="{{#staticFileLink}}10744096275,original{{/staticFileLink}}" class="align-left" alt="10744096275?profile=original" /></a>See Where You Are Going</strong></p><p>One of the most relied upon of the five senses is sight. Sight on a basic level is the ability to see with your physical eyes. But if you dig deeper the ability to see includes creating a mental picture; a visualization. Familiar with the term “mind’s eye”? This term refers to the human ability for visualization, which is experiencing visual mental imagery. Basically, the ability to “see” with your mind. Helen Keller said, <em>“The only thing worse than being blind is having sight but, no vision.”</em></p><p>From this place of seeing you can begin to jump start your life. Use your “mind’s eye” to see yourself in the future. Where are you? Are you living the life you dreamed of living? Are you experiencing success in all areas of your life? Do you have balance? Say to yourself, “I see you in the future and you look much better than you look right now!”</p><p>Visualize the life you want and deserve to live. Harness what you see to help create the path to get from where you are to where you want to be. Use vision to see where you are going.</p><p><strong>Pursue Your Passion</strong></p><p>Dare to create a vision for your life? Tap into the creativity embedded within you to reach your destined place of purpose. Have you taken the steps necessary to find your purpose? That very thing you are passionate about could be the spark you need. </p><p>I was inspired to become a life coach because I encountered individuals who have shared with me that they don’t know their life’s mission. They didn’t know why they are on this earth at this appointed time and in space. Some stated they have no desire to invest their time, resources or energy to finding their purpose, maximizing their potential and igniting the passion within. I hope you are not at this place in your life; however, if you are then you are reading this at the right time.</p><p>Now is the time for you to invest in you. You may have spent years, an enormous amount of resources or endless hours working toward something that is not germane to your life’s call. But take the time to think about that thing in your life which makes you sing. That thing you begin to talk about to the point where people can see the twinkle in your eye and the glow in your countenance. Discover, unleash and pursue your passion.</p><p><strong>Act on Your Goals</strong></p><p>Take a close look at the word “goal”. The first two letters make up the word “go”. Go, to move on a course, proceed or to take a certain course. It is just that simple. Goals are not as complicated as we make them out to be. For example, your goal is the bigger picture. For this example our goal or bigger picture is to go food shopping. There are a number of “tasks” we must complete in order to reach this goal. The basic tasks include preparation, going outside, getting into the car, putting the car in gear and “going”.</p><p>An effective way to help reach your goals is to break the bigger goal down into a series of tasks. With this in mind, you may only want to tackle two to three goals at one time. Why? Because when you list out the tasks associated with each goal the list can become pretty long. Begin small, be persistent and consistent.</p><p><strong>Rev Up Your Engine</strong></p><p>In thinking about revving an engine, car racing came to mind. In preparation for a high speed motor race revving the engine prepares the car for optimum performance. To get your car warmed up for the race ahead.</p><p>This is certainly a principle you can apply to your life. Revving your personal engine is a great way to prepare yourself for the race head. Life is often viewed as a race. It takes many components for you to not only get in the race, but to sustain it with speed, persistence, consistency and accuracy. You are the driver and the car you have been given is called life. One of the keys to life is learning to drive and navigate with wise efficiency.</p><p>One of the ways to “rev up your engine” is to create positive affirmations which are consistent with the way you see your life in the future. They should be positive and written in present tense. View your future with your “mind’s eye”.</p><p><strong>Kick Start Your Life</strong></p><p>To “kick start” your life is just another way to say “jump start”. It is time to restart fresh and re-energize your life. Little to no progress can be made if you are stuck in life with no “spark” to help provide the kick start you need.</p><p>In the movie Inception, “the kick” was necessary to awaken a dreaming individual to get them from one level to another. Sometimes in order to get to our next level in life with need a kick. It is time to make room for new experiences by removing thoughts, ideas and concepts that are not helping you to get to your new level in life. What may have worked in the past may not work for your future.</p><p>Kick start your life by connecting with the right people, changing the way you see your life, pursuing your passion and getting the tools and resources you need to jump start your life.</p><p>You can receive more inspiration of awesomeness from my weekly podcast show, <a href="http://womanentrepreneursmentor.com/awesome-living-show/" target="_blank">Awesome Living with Cheryl Pullins.</a></p></div>Christian Women Entrepreneurs: Build a List, Build Your Businesshttps://mybbwo.com/profiles/blogs/christian-women-entrepreneurs-build-a-list-build-your-business2013-10-16T19:45:06.000Z2013-10-16T19:45:06.000ZRobin Tramblehttps://mybbwo.com/members/RobinTramble<div><p></p><div class="date"><div class="dateright"><p><span class="icomment"><a href="http://authenticlifeempowerment.com/business/christian-women-entrepreneurs-build-a-list-and-build-your-business/#respond"></a></span></p></div></div><p><img src="http://i577.photobucket.com/albums/ss219/4empowerment/email-list-building_zps215cccf0.jpg" alt="list building" /></p><p></p><p>Are you tired of hearing this: The gold or the money is in the list. You might get weary of hearing it as<a href="http://bit.ly/marketingeworkshop" title="christian women entrepreneurs" target="_blank">Christian Women Entrepreneurs</a>, a Coach, Speaker or Author , but it’s smacking you in the face for a reason – it’s the truth, however, I’d like to add a twist the gold or money is in the relationship you build with the list/community! First of all, let’s answer the question, “What is a list?”</p><p>A list in Internet/<a href="http://bit.ly/marketingeworkshop" title="online marketing" target="_blank">Online marketing</a> terms is a database of contact information for your prospects. So if you have a product or promote products about gardening and I sign up for your list, I’m a prospect that you can market to repeatedly until I unsubscribe.</p><p>So why is building a list so important? Let’s say you start off as an affiliate marketer. You find a niche you truly enjoy and you start working what you’ve learned into some traffic for your affiliate links.</p><p>Over a period of 30 days, you funnel 5,000 prospects from the World Wide Web who are interested in your niche straight through your affiliate link to the product owner’s site.</p><p>Let’s look at it a little deeper they even buy – yea! You’ve made a 50% commission with a 2% conversion rate. That means 2 out of every 100 people you sent bought the product, and your share was $26.00 (as an example). You earned a cool $2,600 this month – good for you!</p><p>There’s only one thing, you’re leaving money on the table. Those 100 people who bought from your 5,000 clicks? They’re now on the product owner’s list, not yours. So what he’s going to do is send them more offers over the coming weeks.</p><p>After all, they are proven buyers. Over the next 30 days, those buyers give even more money for products that complement the original one they bought. That money goes to the product owner, not you – because you passed on building a list the first time around.</p><p>A better way to build YOUR business is to start with a list from day one. Before you let a single person slip through your link without capturing their name and email address, have your system set up to build a list.</p><p>You can have unlimited lists for different niches using a simple tool like <a href="http://bit.ly/smartautoresponder" title="autoresponder" target="_blank">Aweber</a>, which will end up being less than $20 per month and you can get a 21 day trial for $1 by <a href="http://bit.ly/smartautoresponder" title="autoresponder" target="_blank">clicking here</a>. Every day you can log in and see how many people have signed up, and you can create automated messages to send out to help convert your list into more sales.</p><p>Why should the product owner get to cash in on that person again and again when you’re the one who brought him the customer in the first place? Stake claim to each prospect and leverage your relationship with him for future sales and commissions.</p><p>Now there is a strategy that you can use if you’re just simply looking to add cash that would possibly make not building your list out the door ideal, however, if you’re looking to build your business, grow your community you would want to opt for this strategy.</p><p>Would you like to discover more strategies, tips and more on <a href="http://bit.ly/marketingeworkshop" title="get new leads" target="_blank">getting new leads</a>, clients, customers and money “authentically?”</p><p>I invite you to join me for my much anticipated Mindset, Marketing and Money e-workshop (webinar).

Then, <strong>you may have an issue with self-perception.</strong> People's treatment of us tends to be a direct reflection of how we treat ourselves. If you treat yourself well; others will too.</p><p><strong>For example, if you notice people:</strong></p><ul><li>Talk over you doing regular conversations or disagreements.</li><li>Do not respond to your requests for help or to complete a task you assigned them (Co-workers. your kids,etc.)</li><li>Make you feel "invisible".</li></ul><p><strong>Then these things may be occurring because you:</strong></p><ul><li>Are not speaking up and articulating your opinion with confidence.</li><li>Are not holding people accountable to complete the task/s you have given them and in your frustration you simply take care of it yourself. (This simply encourages people to ignore you because, they know you will do their work for them.)</li><li>Appear to lack self-confidence and you tend to "hide" from recognition.</li></ul><p>Our self-assured or poor opinion of ourselves shows up in our work, relationships (family, friends, romantic), and in the general day to day activities of our lives.</p><p>If you constantly feel frustrated or overwhelmed; find yourself constantly complaining about a lack of cooperation or help; or allow others to ignore you. You are encouraging behavior that says it is okay to treat you carelessly and with a certain level of disrespect.</p><p><strong>Maybe you grew up believing:</strong></p><ul><li>You had to make everything right for others, go the extra mile (Even, if it meant ignoring your needs.)</li><li>Do whatever it takes to keep the peace (Even, if it meant loss of personal peace of mind.)</li><li>That having a good opinion of yourself is arrogant and uncomely behavior (especially for a woman).</li></ul><p>Whatever has brought you to this point in your life. Now, is the time to change how you feel about yourself and finally experience a life that is more complete and satisfying. Take charge of your personal self-opinion and acknowledge you are an amazing person who deserves to receive the best. Others will follow your lead.</p><p>Here are a few things you can do to get started:</p><ul><li><strong>Stop taking on other peoples responsibilities.</strong> (Co-workers, spouse/partner, your children, etc.) </li><li><strong>Say "No" more often</strong>. If you feel uneasy about a request for your time and attention because, you know it will "stretch" your already limited time. Just say "No".</li><li><strong>Treat yourself kindly</strong>. Find ways to pamper and allow yourself time to relax.</li><li><strong>Make time for things you enjoy</strong> and be firm about this time being just for you. Let other people work around your schedule for a change.</li><li><strong>Speak up;</strong> if you feel strongly about something or have an idea that might be helpful let others know. Even, if the idea is rejected. At least you spoke up and others know you are unafraid to speak your mind.</li><li><strong>Be thoughtful and courteous to others and allow them to be helpful for you as well.</strong></li><li><strong>Learn to accept compliments.</strong> Yes, this seems like an odd thing to say, but learning how to be more gracious encourages others to treat you with more respect and look for additional ways to make your life easier and more pleasant.</li></ul><p>Utilize the above list and gradually you will see a positive change in how others treat you and <span style="color:#800000;"><strong>even more important; how you are enjoying and finding new ways to honor and respect yourself.</strong></span></p><p>You are always in control of your own good opinion of yourself so, lead by example.</p><p>Wishing you much love and unlimited joy,</p><p>Cyndi Harris, HP</p><p>Relationship Solutions Coach, Joyologist (Expert in the Art of Joyful Living), and Author </p><p>Click here to schedule your <a href="http://redtentwisdom.com" target="_blank">20 minute Complimentary Irresistible Solutions Session</a> and go to the Solutions Session page.

Social media has become the “go-to” place to spread the word about your product or service and it is one of the few ways that you can connect with thousands of people without spending thousands of dollars.</span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana, geneva;font-size:medium;background-color:#ffffff;">Yet now it may seem like all you are doing is sitting on the social sites, as opposed to actively promoting your blog or product in any other manner. You are spending less time with your family or accomplishing your tasks because you have to be available to respond to the posts on social media, and stay in-the-know about the topics that might connect you with your potential clients. You are now working more hours in a day than you ever did at your previous job!</span> <br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana, geneva;font-size:medium;background-color:#ffffff;">You have now discovered that you are unfulfilled, and that social media can be an even bigger time-vacuum than your typical 9-to-5. Now what?</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana, geneva;font-size:medium;background-color:#ffffff;"><strong>What To Do In This Situation</strong></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana, geneva;font-size:medium;background-color:#ffffff;">To better manage this process, here are four tips for achieving your goals of success and family time. These tips take a life coach approach to time management and goal-setting, and will serve you well if you are committed, flexible (because these processes leave room for the unforeseen), and tenacious. Consider hiring a life coach to help you set up a system that will help you define your goals, and put actions in place to achieve those goals.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana, geneva;font-size:medium;background-color:#ffffff;"><strong>1. Set A Schedule.</strong> You will need to design a schedule and stick to it. Set a specific time to post content, to respond to social media, to be with your family and to complete your chores. Some days, you won't be able to stick to your schedule, but make that the exception, not the rule. </span></p><p><br /> <span style="font-family:verdana, geneva;font-size:medium;background-color:#ffffff;"><strong>2. Social Media Can Wait.</strong> While it is easy to believe that when someone posts a comment on your blog that you should immediately respond, the truth is you have time. People may be grateful for an instant response, but it is not necessary. Many people will post a comment or question and then move on to other things. They do not check for a response until a later time.</span></p><p><br /> <span style="font-family:verdana, geneva;font-size:medium;background-color:#ffffff;"><strong>3. Remember What Is Important.</strong> Your family is important. Your housework is important. Your hobby is important. Your blog content is important. Everything else is secondary. Yes, money matters, but the way you earn income can be tied to your sense of fulfillment, and Internet marketing is one avenue for that knowledge to be applied. Making time for your highest priorities can leave you with the clarity of mind to attain work-life harmony.</span></p><p><br /> <span style="font-family:verdana, geneva;font-size:medium;background-color:#ffffff;"><strong>4. Reevaluate Your Goals.</strong> Sometimes it is very important to step back and look at the reasons that you started this business. When you rekindle the romance with why you wanted to become an Internet marketer or blogger, you become re-energized to actively pursue that goal again. A good coach can help with this component, and thanks to today's technology, that coach can be anywhere in the world, and still serve you well. When you're looking for a life coach Tampa, think of Atlanta, Los Angeles, or even Kingston as viable cities for which to search for your ideal coach online. Don't be shy to search outside of your area, because you can use Skype or Google Hangouts for "face-to-face" contact.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana, geneva;font-size:medium;background-color:#ffffff;"><em>It will be a little difficult to make the adjustment from being totally immersed in social media to regulating your time, but it is possible, and Internet entrepreneurs the world over are doing it every day. Try the steps above, include a coach in your readjustment strategy, and commit to embracing not just busy work, but meaningful work as well. Social media is meant to be a tool for your success by engaging with people who share your interests and need the skills you have. Keep that in mind, and you may just see that work-life harmony is not that far-fetched of an idea.</em></span></p><p><span style="font-family:verdana, geneva;font-size:medium;background-color:#ffffff;">Akilah Richards is a full-time entrepreneur who has benefited significantly from the services of a reputable life coach. She shares articles about the importance of hiring reinforcements to help you design a plan for your time and tasks, so that you can see the benefits of choosing a non-traditional approach to your work, via the Internet. </span></p></div>Remember, Tonight is the Night to Overcome!https://mybbwo.com/profiles/blogs/remember-tonight-is-the-night-to-overcome2013-07-01T20:16:25.000Z2013-07-01T20:16:25.000ZCyndi Harrishttps://mybbwo.com/members/CyndiHarris<div><p><span class="font-size-6" style="color:#0000ff;">Question:</span></p><p><span class="font-size-5">Are you ready?

You get to finally live your dreams of business ownership right. but do you have the right mindset? Are you still treating yourself like an employee of your own business? What are the 3 things you need to do to shift your mindset from thinking "paycheck to paycheck" to thinking like a real employer?</span></p><p></p><p><span>When I said "that's IT" from my last corporate layoff (yes I had 2) I was ready to embrace self-employment head-on. I had clients almost immediately and had replaced my corporate salary and then some. BUT</span></p><p><span>I was overwhelmed, I didn't know know to set boundaries with my clients, I felt like I had to "earn" every penny they paid me. I was "crackberry" addict (my Blackberry stayed on 24/7 literally. I spend 40+ hours on client work with little time to actually build my business. Despite the fact I had 15 years+ experience and a solid background in operations and systems. I was still struggling and overwhelmed. Even though I was my own boss, I was treating my business and my value like I was still an employee.</span></p><p><span>Listen to this latest <strong><a href="https://soundcloud.com/katrinamharrell/ep-2-employee-vs-employer" target="_blank">podcast</a></strong> for the 3 things I learned about myself and my business that literally changed the course of my business.</span></p><p><span> </span></p><p></p><p></p></div>What Type of Man Best "Fits" You? - Part 1https://mybbwo.com/profiles/blogs/what-type-of-man-best-fits-you-part-12013-06-13T17:39:14.000Z2013-06-13T17:39:14.000ZCyndi Harrishttps://mybbwo.com/members/CyndiHarris<div><p>As a relationship coach, I have the privilege of meeting a variety of people. And, while my client base is mostly women; I talk to men from all walks of life as well. The average everyday man to the mega rich; plus, living in S. FL also offers me an international selection of guys to talk to. </p><p>I love it because, I have such a great deal of respect for men. I notice men everyday in my travels and day to day activities. In the morning as I am driving to the store. I notice men waiting on street corners with coolers containing their lunch in work clothes and steel toe work boots waiting for their ride to pick them up as they head to work a hot and dirty job that most people would never consider because it pays so little for such tedious labor. <em><strong>It may not be the best job, but these men show up every day rain or shine.</strong></em></p><p>Then, continuing with my day, I walk into my favorite Starbucks and in line ahead of me are the <strong>"Money Men"</strong>. The men who spend their days in air conditioned offices working with millions; sometimes billions of dollars worth of financial transactions. They are dressed in their designer suits or other well-groomed and appropriate attire that shows their status as high-powered movers and shakers. They are talking about today’s business, golf, or where they will meet for dinner and drinks after work. </p><p>The contrast is extreme, but underneath it all. These men are the same. <strong>Their dreams and goals are to be happy, to love and be loved.</strong> They want to be appreciated and respected by the woman they love and their children (if applicable) or if single they long for the love and companionship of a woman who understands that he goes to work every day to be the best man he can be for her. A good woman is the inspiration for most men's achievements.</p><p>I watch this process day in and day out and as I listen to women complain about the lack of available good men or the disengaged behavior of their current men. I have to sit back and think; do we even know what a good man is? </p><p>I hear the sincere heartache from both men and women. The pressure they feel to live up to standards that may or may not be viable for who they are at the moment; not feeing appreciated for doing the best they know how to do, right now. Women are ready to discard men because, they seem to lack ambition or are not providing them with the lifestyle they want... right now. Men are ready to walk away from women because, they feel they are unable to be their woman's champion.</p><p>It may be true or their lives may be at the beginning of a new positive personal growth cycle, but the frustration of wanting more... Right now... sometimes keeps us from enjoying what and who we currently have. It is perfectly natural to desire more out of life, but we need to be grateful for what we currently have. Once we are; we will be spiritually aligned to receive more and improve our life and relationships.</p><p>At times I feel like the media has created a level of discontent in some women. It causes these women to wish for a lifestyle that: </p><ul><li>Is inappropriate for her and her true life goals. </li><li>Creates discontent and impatience; causing her to lose sight of the ways her life is already improving.</li><li>Compels her to pursue a man or men; she is not prepared to create and maintain a relationship (life ambitions, money mindset, etc. may not match up) </li></ul><p>Maybe, a woman has a diamond in the rough at home; who with her loving support and belief in his dreams will become the next major player in business or his chosen field. Many successful men began their careers from humble beginnings. It has taken them years to acquire the success they currently enjoy and many of these men have enjoyed the loving support of a woman who knows him and has been with him from his early days.</p><p>Professional athletes seem to be a good example of this behavior. A good portion of them, if involved in a staple relationship, are usually with a high school or college sweetheart. Shared values and mindset are more relevant than most people realize. This is not exclusive to professional sports. If you look at some of the most successful men; you will notice the happiest ones are with a woman who shares their:</p><ul><li>Money mindset</li><li>Personal interests</li><li>And general values</li></ul><p>Keep this in mind when searching for your next romantic partner. If you are currently in a long-term relationship; you may need to do some soul-searching to see if you the 2 of you began your life together with mutual basic needs. If not, then what was the attraction and where are you now in regards to your life plans; separately and together. </p><p>The goal of this article is to get you to think about you and your mate. Are a good fit? Or if you are single; to really think about what you desire in a relationship, who you are as a woman, and the qualities you have to attract this man to you.</p><p>In part 2; I will break it down and offer you some useful tips to point you in the right direction to personal happiness in your love relationship whether you are single or in a relationship.</p><p>Remember, life is constantly changing. We grow into people with different and new desires along the way. Our love lives can be one of our greatest joys or biggest heartaches. Take this time to look at men or your man with "new" eyes. You may be pleasantly surprised by what you "see".</p><p>Wishing you much love and unlimited joy,</p><p>Cyndi Harris, HP</p><p>Relationship Solutions Coach, Author, and Joyologist</p><p><a href="http://undeniablyirresistible.com" target="_blank">www.undeniablyirresistible.com</a></p></div>What Type of Man Best "Fits" You? - Part 2https://mybbwo.com/profiles/blogs/what-type-of-man-best-fits-you-part-22013-06-24T17:28:48.000Z2013-06-24T17:28:48.000ZCyndi Harrishttps://mybbwo.com/members/CyndiHarris<div><p><b>A man wants a partner not a competitor. You should too. </b></p><p>In part one, I asked you to evaluate or revaluate, what you are searching for in a man and your romantic relationship. I mentioned how men really are looking for the opportunity to love a woman who really appreciates him and what he does for her to make her life easier.</p><p>I asked you to take a look at shared values and to check your money mindset to see if it matches your mate or potential mate and to search for ways you may be able to resolve conflict by becoming more aware of your relationship patterns.</p><p>Now, in this article. I want to talk about creating a quality relationship with a man. Read the top line again... <span style="color:#800000;"><strong>A man wants a partner not a competitor. You should too</strong>.</span></p><p>What do I mean? In the pursuit of better education, jobs, and recognition; ladies we have taken on a pseudo masculine approach to life and unfortunately our romantic relationships as well. While learning how to increase our level of desire and life ambitions; we adopted a man’s view on business, competition, success, and as role models. Since, men have been the dominant faces and gender in the workplace for decades, when we started to emerge into the work place with our intellect and skills. We looked to men and their behaviors to get ahead. This can be a good thing if you understand how to disconnect the masculine aggression once you leave the office. </p><p>Men are wonderful sources of information about business and business processes since they have been the dominant trendsetters in the business world. Only recently has it begun to shift (Thank goodness). And yes, we do have some wonderful examples of business success who are women, but if you read their autobiographies and biographies you will notice most of their early years were spent learning how to compete and at times survive in a “Man’s” world. </p><p>Unfortunately, this aggressive style spilled into their personal lives leaving a trail of emotional heartache, broken relationships, and marriages. (Not all, some of these women have found a happy balance between work and their home lives.) It is important to rejoice regarding our success and career milestones, but what about the carnage that has become our romantic lives. It is time to put an end to this unproductive cycle and reclaim the romance in our lives. </p><p><strong>Tell me, when you come home from work do you want to relax and enjoy the peace and joy that is home or do you want to gear up for the next battle between you and your man?</strong> </p><p><strong><span style="color:#800000;">You want to relax, right?</span></strong> Guess what, so does he. Creating a loving and peaceful home requires continuous work on both sides. I know it sounds like common sense, but we know from personal experience that what sounds good in theory does not always transfer into the real world. </p><p>Well, allow me to suggest a useful tip. <span style="color:#800000;"><b>Make a list of the things you and your man argue about.</b></span> (If you are single, list the things that broke up your last relationship). Now, look over the list and tell me how many of those things could have been avoided or resolved with periodic discussions about the current state of your relationship: </p><p>• Any changes/shifts in mutual goals or values (We all change, grow, and develop at different rates; that means our partnerships will too.) </p><p>• Any changes in personal goals (Education, children, personal growth, etc) </p><p>• Learning how to listen more effectively to what your man is/was saying and not trying to “think” for him. </p><p>• Judgmental opinions that are/were fear-based and prevented you from really listening to what your partner was saying or trying to do that would benefit you and your family. </p><p>I could go on and on with this list. Ladies, when we are wired into our right-brain masculine mode of thinking and problem-solving. We can become very rigid in our response to our relationship challenges or as I prefer to call them… <span style="color:#800000;"><strong>“Windows of opportunity for personal growth”</strong></span>; when this happens mutually satisfying resolution is nearly impossible. You now have 2 competitors trying to basically “beat” the other one into submission. It is a disaster which unfortunately if not corrected; leads to broken relationships and unhappy men and women returning to the world of dating. You simply cannot have a real man and a pseudo man existing inside a relationship. The feminine must be properly represented to create or restore peace.</p><p>So, I am sure you are wondering how to resolve this issue that affects so many potentially great relationships. </p><p>1. <b>My first recommendation is to understand who you are as a person and a Woman.</b> What do you need to be happy? In general and your romantic relationships; too often we get caught up in some other person’s dream and discover later on it was a huge mistake. So, be authentic. </p><p>2. <b>Next be honest about the type of man you would enjoy creating a long-lasting relationship.</b> Your dream guy may not be the person you have been fantasizing about. He may be someone totally different from the ones you keep pursuing.</p><ul><li><b>How will you know?</b></li><li>Well, if you keep dating the same type of men and the relationship keep repeating the same unsuccessful relationship patterns. He mostly likely is not the right type of man for you. You are trying to “fit’ into someone else’s dream. Be bold and daring; take the time to write out who you really desire then, learn what you need to know to invite this man into your life. </li></ul><p>3. <b>Stop trying to be so “tough”</b>. The <b><i>“I don’t need a man”</i></b> attitude will keep you single and in fault-finding state of mind when it comes to men. This holds true even if you are currently in a relationship; you will find ways to undermine your man and his efforts to be of assistance to you. Learn how to enjoy the softer side of your personality and allow men to step up, help you, and appreciate your feminine nature. </p><p>4. <b>Stop trying to do this alone.</b> Hire the services of someone who can help you unlock your hidden desires and dreams for a wonderful and satisfying relationship. We all at one time or another need the help of someone who holds us accountable to our dreams. Our love life is no different. </p><p>Remember the definition of insanity is: </p><p><span style="color:#800000;"><b>“Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.”</b> – <i>Albert Einstein </i></span></p><p>Does this sound like your life and romantic relationships? If so, here’s your chance to stop repeating dead-end habits and learn the skills to finally be happy. The steps outlined in this article can be the starting point for true romantic success, but they will only work if you are willing to step out of your comfort zone and be accountable for your love life and there is no reason to go it alone.</p><p>Go to: <a href="http://undeniablyirresistible.com" target="_blank">www.undeniablyirresistible.com</a> and request your <span class="font-size-3" style="color:#800000;"><strong>Complimentary Solutions Session</strong></span> for guidance and some additional helpful hints.</p><p>Wishing you much love and unlimited joy,</p><p>Cyndi Harris, HP</p><p>Relationship Solutions Coach, Author, and Joyologist</p><p><a href="http://undeniablyirresistible.com" target="_blank">www.undeniablyirresistible.com</a></p></div>Be Fearless and Say " I Love You" More Oftenhttps://mybbwo.com/profiles/blogs/never-tire-of-saying-i-love-you2013-05-14T16:00:00.000Z2013-05-14T16:00:00.000ZCyndi Harrishttps://mybbwo.com/members/CyndiHarris<div><p>Hello everyone,</p><p>How are you? I hope each of you had a wonderful weekend. Mother's day has come and gone and for every mom out there I hope your day was an amazing one filled with much laughter and love. Personally, my day was perfect. I spent time with my beloved (He surprised me with a lovely and thoughtful gift), heard from my children (They live throughout the US), and received and shared messages of goodwill and love with family and friends.</p><p>It was a memorable day and as usual it left me thinking about love. Love is such a gigantic topic that we do our best to pigeonhole and water down because, it seems to cause such discomfort in so many people. And, while I appreciate holidays like Mother's day. It always makes me curious to know how people express their love for mom throughout the year.</p><p>I realize I am truly blessed because I have a great relationship with my 3 incredible sons. We talk often and are a consistent part of each others lives. I love them dearly and they return my love without hesitation.</p><p>I believe it is so easy for us because, I raised them to be loving and strong men. We never leave each other, hang up the phone, or finish a texting conversation without saying "I love you." It is a natural-feeling habit for us. I let them know that saying "I love you." is a good thing and not something to fear. Even when, we have had our disagreements over the years; we still come back to love. Open communication is definitely the key. They are awesome young men and I could talk about them all day, but I want to share a quote with you that eloquently expresses the importance of fearlessly saying "I love you" to your loved ones.</p><p>It is from Leo Buscaglia's book <strong>"Born for Love"</strong>. It is a wonderful book full of joy and wisdom. I highly recommend it to anyone who is ready to change their belief systems around the topic of love.</p><p>Here it is:</p><p style="text-align:center;"><span class="font-size-3" style="color:#ff0000;"><strong>Never Tire of Saying "I Love You"</strong></span></p><p style="text-align:left;">"Such a simple phrase, 'I love you,' yet I cannot think of any words with greater power. Francois Villon, the French poet, wrote, 'I love you. These are easy words to say, yet my heart fails as I say them, for their meaning is as full and musical as the bell of doom.' </p><p style="text-align:left;">We should never tire of expressing our love, for certainly we never tire of hearing it expressed. Strange how simple it is to use these words with inanimate things. We feel safe in loving our car, a new coat, or spaghetti and meatballs. But, we have grave difficulties verbalizing our love for other human beings, even to those closest to us...</p><p style="text-align:left;">The message 'I love you,' is not something that goes without saying. To the contrary, it needs to be said whenever and wherever love is present." - <span style="color:#ff0000;"><strong>Leo Buscaglia</strong></span></p><p style="text-align:left;">I think this quote expresses how we seem to fear saying "I love you," to the people we care for so deeply.</p><p style="text-align:left;">What stops you from using those 3 little words more often. Is it:</p><ul><li>A fear of rejection</li><li>Loss of perceived power</li><li>A need to control</li><li>Fear of an awkward moment (Say it more often and it becomes less traumatic)</li></ul><p>Tell me. I have heard numerous reasons over the years and I have had to overcome my own fears. Especially, when I initially fall in love and I am worried I may say it too soon or the other person may not feel the same way. Yes, even I have a had an insecure moment or 2. But, I have learned from experience, if it is on my heart to say it then, I need to say it. Whether a person receives it or not is their issue not mine.</p><p style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#ff0000;" class="font-size-3"><strong>"Love is meant to be shared not kept as a secret locked within our hearts." - <span style="color:#000000;" class="font-size-2">Cyndi Harris</span></strong></span></p><p>Now, having shared this with you, I am asking you to do a simple assignment for me. Actually it is more for you than me.</p><p>Today, <strong>and everyday that follows</strong>,<strong> </strong>find 3 people who you can say "I love you." Just say it and be okay if they do not say it in return. If it is someone close to you where these words have not flown freely; be patient and be prepared to answer some questions or receive a strange look or 2. </p><p><span style="color:#ff0000;" class="font-size-3"><strong>Love is an ongoing process</strong></span> that requires courage, fearlessness, joy, persistence, and trust. It is worth any and all effect you put into it. So, have faith and know that <strong>you are love and you are loved</strong>. Regardless of the circumstances that may surround your life so, pass it along and watch how the blessing of love shows up more often in your life.</p><p>Share the love and leave your comments below; also, pass this blog post on to anyone you believe will benefit from its simple message. Thank you for your continued interest and support.</p><p>Have a wonderful day and as always; I am wishing for you much love and unlimited joy,</p><p>Cyndi Harris, HP</p><p>Relationship Solutions Coach, Author, & Joyologist</p><p>You may reach me at: Cyndi@undeniablyirresistible.com or <a href="http://undeniablyirresistible.com" target="_blank">www.undeniablyirresistible.com</a> or <a href="http://redtentwisdom.com" target="_blank">www.redtentwisdom.com</a></p></div>"Stay in your lane!'

Imagine being in the company of adults who seem like folks you've known all your life...women who have inspiring stories and even better advice! How about being in a place where your meals are delicious and prepared for you every day, a place where you can walk along the ocean or sit on the porch and relax all day for an affordable price for an entire week? You can experience all this. Join Sisters & Friends Getaway to Oak Bluffs, on Martha’s Vineyard.</p><p> </p><p><b>Why Martha’s Vineyard?</b></p><p>Martha’s Vineyard is the perfect place for this gathering. First, it <i>is</i> quiet and serene and being there makes one slow down. Second people are intrigued by the Island and never dreamed they could one a day visit. The Island is rich with African and Native American history. And, because many high-profile people have homes or visit there, Ms. Portis wants others to experience this slice of ‘the good life’ and know that it is within their reach.</p><p> </p><p><b>What is</b> <b>the agenda?</b></p><p>Some activities include line dancing, card games, book discussion, morning ocean swim, shopping but mostly Sisters & Friends Getaway is a trip where guests make their own respite agenda. That is why the vacation begins the Sunday after Labor Day when the pace is slow and the tourist crowd is reduced and the island quiet and serene. The nights in the houses are spent laughing, playing games, joining in inspiring discussions and enjoying fabulous meals (including vegetarian).</p><p><b> </b></p><p><b>What are the Accommodations?</b></p><p>We stay in vintage Vineyard homes within walking distance of each other in the historic Oak Bluffs neighborhood. Each person shares a twin room with a sister or friend or alone in a queen bedroom. Houses accommodate 8-14 women and there are multiple facilities in each house. Check out the FAQ’s at <a href="http://bit.ly/Z70CkT">http://bit.ly/Z70CkT</a></p><p><br /> <b>How much does it cost?</b></p><p>With times so tough and many wanting to save and forgo vacation this is the perfect opportunity to get away, experience a wonderful place and join with other women while not spending a lot of money. Since meals and board are included in the cost, many find this the perfect group to go to Martha’s Vineyard with. How to obtain pricing information is on the <a href="http://bit.ly/16PW4VQ" target="_blank">website</a></p><p><b> </b></p><p><b>Who are the women that attend?</b></p><p>While many do not know each other, sisterfriends come from varying backgrounds, stages and ages in life and share one common bond and that is to experience a peaceful, relaxing vacation. In year's past, women come from Washington, Nevada, California, Georgia, Florida, Maryland, Pennsylvania, New York and many states in between. Women who join sisters & Friends Getaway are adventurous and looking for calm no stress vacation. Some are starting new careers, launching a businesses, or winding down from work and others are retired after exciting and rewarding careers. Other come with a sister or friend others come alone. Many get their network of friends from around the country to meet them on this trip. Cities represented for this year’s trip include women from Rockford, Ill, Portland, Oregon, Charlotte, NC, Pittsburgh, PA and surrounding cities, Woodstock, MD, Lauderhill, FL, Atlanta and Smyrna, Georgia.</p><p><i><a href="{{#staticFileLink}}10744094474,original{{/staticFileLink}}"><img width="100" class="align-left" src="{{#staticFileLink}}10744094474,original{{/staticFileLink}}" alt="10744094474?profile=original" /></a>Connie Portis is a publisher,event planner human resource professional and host of events for women.

Think about it; when we, women, are in love with someone we tend to do some of the following: </p><p>• Send romantic cards </p><p>• Feed our beloved </p><p>• Offer backrubs </p><p>• Send cute and sexy text messages </p><p>• Etc. </p><p></p><p>Our expression of love tends to be more affectionate and emotion-based: </p><p>• <span><b>Cards - </b></span>say words we may not be creative enough to say. (Warm fuzzy feelings) </p><p>• <span><b>Food - </b></span>is comforting and at times revolves around memorable events; the holidays, special occasions, and creates memories. (More warm fuzzies) </p><p>• <span><b>Backrubs - </b></span>create intimate moments that may or may not lead to passionate sexual ones. </p><p>• <span><b>Text messages - </b></span>generally, if done right, get an immediate response and create an instant connection with our beloved. </p><p></p><p>Men can express love in these ways as well, but it does not come naturally to most of them. If you currently have a man who is offering you such emotion-based tokens of love; I can almost guarantee he was taught to be expressive, in this way, by another woman; a previous romance or a great platonic friend. Possibly, by watching a male role model (Who was probably previously guided by a woman's influence as well); however it happened be thankful and be sure to encourage him <strong>(Saying thank you is a good start.)</strong> whenever he does something; <strong>big or small</strong>.
