<div style="background: white; line-height: 15.75pt; margin-bottom: 11.25pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">How I wish I was you right now, a naïve 17 year
old with a youthful mixture of bravado and immaturity, where everything is so
important and all decisions larger than life. Oh and you will drop Patricia
(first you will add an h’ then drop it completely) to Warugi all in the journey
of knowing yourself. I am writing this
letter a young 29 year old who is a lil bit taller but none the wiser, whom you
wouldn’t recognize; I sure don’t look the same. I want to impart certain things
that I wish someone had told me when I was your age, and then maybe I would not
have made certain choices.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 15.75pt; margin-bottom: 11.25pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">You are Beautiful, yes you are, STOP berating
yourself in front of the mirror. Society has fed you a warped perception of
beauty—don’t let its definition convince you that you fall short of everyone
else’s expectations. Stop punishing yourself with starvation diets and binge
eating to mask what is really bothering you. You are just wasting your energy. .
I know how much you’re hurting; you just haven’t figured out yet that inner
beauty outlives physical beauty every time. The mirror is not your enemy; see
yourself through your own eyes and know that others love you even though you
don’t love yourself. Learn to pamper WARUGI and spoil her, if others tell you
that you are selfish, that you are self-obsessed, that you love yourself too
much. Don't believe them for a second. You deserve to be enthralled with your
you-ness. Even after he cheats on you, don’t let him make you feel less than
you are, coz the opposite is not good, trust you me I know what I am talking
about.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 15.75pt; margin-bottom: 11.25pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">I know you feel as though your parents are
judging every move you make and you hate living under a microscope. Strict
curfews, being grounded from social activities may seem unreasonable, but your
parents really do have your best interests at heart. If they didn’t love you,
they wouldn’t care what you did. Boundaries and rules are a sign of good
parenting and tough love. You’ll figure this out once you have kids of your
own. Appreciate the time you have with
your family. The holidays you go to, travelling to Nakuru to see your
grandparents ( the void they leave cannot be filled) And once you get married
and a lil bit older everyone will have more important things to do, so treasure
the moments you have with your family, trust you me you will miss them. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 15.75pt; margin-bottom: 11.25pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">

not everything. Yes, you will have a fluke genius moment and get 100% on
your first mathematic exam, when you were sure that you had no idea what you
were doing. (It was short-lived and lasted only for that one test).
It is not so much what you are learning, but the work ethic that you learn from
your dedication to school; take advantage of the opportunities that present
themselves to you and your commitment to take a chance on the unknown. Trust
your instincts because they have proven to be trustworthy and make sure you
take risks, because they always seem to put you in the right place at the right
time.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 15.75pt; margin-bottom: 11.25pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">

will stay up all night with for no reason at all except that the conversation
never stops. Friends that encourage you to follow your passion and
friends that encourage you to leave your comfort zone, but are protective
enough to say, ‘make good choices’ before you embark on a new adventure. Worrying
about what other people think of you is a waste of time and energy. Don't let
someone else's perception of you (unless it's absolutely fabulous!) become how
you see yourself. And for God's sake, don't be so hard on yourself all the
time. Don't get caught in the trap that everything needs to be perfect, or
nothing will ever get done.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

problems, you see if you can only get a strong sense of self now, wohooo you
will save yourself loads of money, heartache and time. Love yourself mama, it’s
so important otherwise you will get addicted to unhealthy relationships looking
for acceptance and validation and all you will get is your emotions and heart
trampled on over and over. It’s okay that you have no boyfriend right now,
trust you me there are many to come, some will break your heart and you will
break others but each one will teach you a valuable lesson in love. Try to
really know yourself before you get in a serious relationship or marriage,
though the romantic in you won't listen. Remember, if you're not with someone
who makes you feel like the most beautiful, loveable and special person in the
world, walk away. (And if it makes you feel any better, just know karma's a
bitch... May this 5 points guide you on matters of the heart <o:p></o:p></span></div>

grow up. Slow down and enjoy the ride. Life is full of twists and turns; don’t
be afraid to stray from the well-worn path that everyone else is walking.
Embrace the challenges you’ll face and don’t let the fear of failure box you
into years of regret. How will you ever learn anything if you never make a
mistake? Trust your intuition, listen to your heart and fight hard for what you
believe in. Stop wasting precious time running down hollow streets in search of
happiness. You’ll find its been inside you all along.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">*Disclaimer – Please allow me not to be politically correct <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">Wow it has been a minute since I wrote, but I sure had to ride the
Njoki Chege bandwagon, by now we all know what her article said, and as much as
I am not going to comment on it, something she said in her article took me back
to a dark place in my life. Her exact words were: <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: center;">
<strong style="outline: 0px;"><i><span style="background: white; border: none windowtext 1.0pt; color: #333333; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-border-alt: none windowtext 0cm; padding: 0cm;">You are fat:</span></i></strong><i><span style="background: white; color: #333333; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;"> I like to call a spade a spade, so when I see a fat
girl, I will call her fat and not sugar-coat the truth (pun intended). Most
married women I know are fat. Children or no children, you have lost your
physical attractiveness and you have been reduced to a blob. Rolls upon rolls
of fat and flesh jiggling around the city like nobody’s business. I look at
some married women and I pity their husbands, asking myself “How do you get
turned on by that?” or ‘How do you wash all that?” I understand that the
vagaries of life and childbirth take its toll on a woman’s body but, ladies;
can you shove this stinking attitude of ‘plus-size and loving it’? It is time
women stopped lying to themselves that big is beautiful, that plus size is
attractive and that what matters is what is on the inside. To hell with inner
beauty! Who gets turned on by inner beauty? Who cares if you have a wonderful
heart and a wiggly mass of flesh for a behind? Big is not beautiful. Those
tires around your waist are not love handles; they are ugly, unsightly and
downright unattractive. Those flabby arms are not sexy at all, they are
disgusting to look at and you must tone them! Those stretch marks are not
beauty marks of childbirth, they are as a result of your uncontrolled
consumption of insurmountable loads of food and you need to stop eating like a
pig. A man can afford a potbelly and get away with being assumed as rich but an
overweight woman is a disgrace to the womenfolk. Do away with your thunder
thighs ladies, they are excess baggage you don’t need. If it has been two years
since you had a child and your tummy still wobbles when you brush your teeth
then you are a lazy bum who needs to find a treadmill right now. I don’t care
if you have a busy schedule or four kids, if you have time to down an entire
thermos of uji, then girl, you got time to hit the gym! Stop giving your husband’s
a tough time by expecting them to look away when they see a woman with a great
body pass by when you resemble a baby hippo!</span></i><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">This bully took me back to my childhood days;
you see I am one of the 'Fat' women she is talking about. For me it didn't
start yesterday I have had 28 years to come to terms with it (had to be
vacuumed out of my mother, so I do know what I am talking about) and yes I am
a bit sensitive when it comes to weight. You see the thing with the
Njoki's of this world is they do not know what their words do to someone. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">Growing up I genuinely hated myself and all this was based on how I
looked. Fortunately children were not too mean, they did agree to play with me
and be my friend. In the last 10 years of my life I've learned to overcome my
hatred of myself, I stopped looking in the mirror and seeing that fat girl who
didn't fit in. All this was changed by a Dr. Seuss Quote: "Why try so hard
to fit in when I was born to stand out." How true this statement is you
see, it made me realize that in my life I was constantly looking at my flaws
instead of the GREAT qualities and talents that I poses. I learnt If I
concentrate on what the Njoki's (and they are many) think) I will not be able
to concentrate on what is most important, to be a Great person, a good mother,
a loving wife, a doting daughter and a fabulous friend. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">If I am being totally honest, it’s not easy;
it’s a great struggle, a constant battle. I am not talking about the self
doubt, but challenges that come with being 'Fat'.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"> 1) Shopping is hard, where
do you find the perfect pants, and when you do, they are twice as expensive. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">2) Keeping up with Life's demands is hard. (Gym isn’t a cup of
tea)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"> 3) Breaking up with Junk, I
love food and the oilier the better.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">It may be hard for a fitness junkie to
understand but most big girls (like me) are happy. We've come to terms with our
weight. Now don’t get me wrong, my head is not buried in sand, I know I need to
lose weight, not for physical beauty but for health reason but it’s not a
journey you take by yourself, it needs support. But until then I am going to
love myself and know that being 'Fat' is not a curse, it’s who I am- at least
for the time being.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">This is an urgent plea can we please stop
body, there is enough image consciousness going on, and it is our responsibility
to help each other and teach little girls to feel comfortable with themselves.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

I may dwell in the House of Jehovah all the days of my life, but this is easier
said than done, you see to achieve this one must draw close to Jehovah and this
involves praying, studying the bible and applying what one reads.</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 13.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background: white; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;">We are told to “PRAY incessantly.”1 Thessalonians 5:17 “Persevere in prayer.” Romans 12:12 “Let your petitions be made known to God.” Philippians 4:6 If you’re a Christian, you probably know those scriptures well.
You probably also realize that prayer is the most amazing form of communication
there is. But I don’t know if you are like me whereby you find prayer a
challenge; where you feel as if you have run out of prayers; where you find it
hard to tell God how you feel.</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 13.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background: white; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;">Once a lady I have a lot of respect for as a Christian confessed she
didn't know how to pray, I remember feeling so confused by her statement. I
mean even as a novice I knew who and what to pray for, I could not comprehend
how one did not know. Oh how young I was in my faith and later (much) I learnt
how proud my thoughts were. I remember praying specifically for what I was sure
was best for every situation; I mean my prayers were open and honest just as
the Lord wants them. I could pray for any situation and using words that were
sweet to the ears, but lately I've had a lot of thoughts on my mind about my
current state of faith.</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 13.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">

<span style="background: white; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;"> I seem to have gotten busier and had to deal with new
circumstances all the time, so I find I cannot sit down and pray because there
are so many places in our lives right now that are just hard. I find myself
tired of praying over the same situation over and over, in detail which then
makes me think on the issue more and instead of sharing my concerns over those
areas it becomes my time to worry. Before I know it my prayer time has escaped
me and I am left feeling more empty than before I began praying.</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 13.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background: white; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;">I just seem to be going through the motions right now, I attend Sunday
service, but it’s not giving me anything. I have asked Jehovah to help me but
even that plea sounded empty and I am not feeling anything. I find myself
questioning God’s presence, why he feels so distant? What could be wrong with
me whereby I don’t seem to care about reading the scriptures like I used to, or
why sometimes I’m bored when I pray, or my mind just seems to wander off. Is it
something that I did?</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 13.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

I am not connecting with him, I am just talking, you know? I wish I could be
like Hannah, a faithful woman who raises her voice in a prayer that lauds
Jehovah and who knows that God has lifted her out of the dust, replacing her
dejection with exultation. If you have any time at all could you please pray
for me that I can find my bearings again.</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 13.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="text-align: justify;">Have you ever had an epiphany?
One of those “a-ha” moments where something just clicks for you? Maybe it’s
something you've been struggling with for a long time, or maybe it was a piece
of advice you learned from a friend. Due to certain circumstances that I found
myself in lately, I got to spend some quality time with myself and I came to
the following conclusions:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: justify;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-align: justify; text-indent: -18.0pt;">
<!--[if !supportLists]-->1.<span style="font-size: 7pt;"> </span><!--[endif]-->I
am the most important person. I have to
be my own best friend, you see when someone says something I don’t like I walk away but if I am the one putting myself
down I can’t walk away from me so I might as well be nice to myself. At the
same time however I must remember I am not the center of the universe.
Yes it’s incredibly difficult to think about the world from a perspective other
than our own but it’s important to remove yourself as the center of the
universe and pay attention to what’s going on in front of you, around you and
inside you.</div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-align: justify; text-indent: -18.0pt;">
<!--[if !supportLists]-->2.<span style="font-size: 7pt;"> </span><!--[endif]-->We
must love. You know the saying, “tis better to have loved and lost than never
to have loved at all,” I know, such statements sound so trite and weak on the
surface that we often dismiss them with a wave of the hand. But it’s the cold
truth, a truth so profound that perhaps we can only discuss it with little
clichéd statements. But we must love, even if it breaks our hearts. Love is the
supreme expression of life; it is the essence and ground of all creation. At
the same time Love isn’t enough, it is not enough to survive. We must take action
to show others that we care to show them that we love them and whether we like
it or not, often those who aren’t the easiest to love are the ones who need it
the most.</div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-align: justify; text-indent: -18.0pt;">
<!--[if !supportLists]-->3.<span style="font-size: 7pt;"> </span><!--[endif]-->Relationships
matter. Not every relationship matters all that much, but there are a few
that really, really matter. It is important to know that friends change and
that does not give us a reason to change the said friends. With that said you
don’t need everyone to like you. Yes it’s a mammalian instinct to want to be
liked, but you can’t value every relationship the same, and thus you can’t
expect everyone to love you the same. Life doesn’t work that way, when people
don’t like you, nothing actually happens. The world does not end. But remember
nobody makes it alone. Have a grateful heart and be quick to acknowledge those
who help you.</div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-align: justify; text-indent: -18.0pt;">
<!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="color: #111111; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">4.<span style="font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal;">
</span></span><!--[endif]-->You have to let it go. For me the hardest thing
to do is trust, have faith and forgive when I have been wronged. This is the
hardest lesson for me, MOVING ON, Huh, how I struggle, but you see the world
does not stop for my grief. Yes my emotions are mine and I have every right to
them but one has to move on. You see when you take things too seriously it just
stresses YOU out. I have not worked on the kinks yet but I am learning to suck
it up, keep my head high and continue with life as if what happened did not
bother me. <span style="color: #111111; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 115%;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-align: justify; text-indent: -18.0pt;">
<!--[if !supportLists]-->5.<span style="font-size: 7pt;"> </span><!--[endif]-->Happiness
is not based on external status, it is an internal state. Neither money nor
success can make me happy; At best it will pacify us momentarily. At worst it will
ruin our lives, leaving one empty and depressed. However the secret to happiness
is the acceptance of you.</div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-align: justify; text-indent: -18.0pt;">
<!--[if !supportLists]-->6.<span style="font-size: 7pt;"> </span><!--[endif]--> Honesty is profoundly important. Honesty,
at the most simple level, is telling the truth, not lying. It’s incredibly
important to be honest, and it’s hurtful when you’re not, but do not push to
know a secret it might change your life (not positively). Honesty goes hand in
hand with Openness; openness is just as important as honesty, actually it is
more complicated than honesty, because it involves being honest, while painting
an accurate picture, shooting straight, not misleading other people, and being
real. Openness is far more subjective, and you have to be honest with yourself
before you can be open with others. </div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-align: justify; text-indent: -18.0pt;">
<!--[if !supportLists]-->7.<span style="font-size: 7pt;"> </span><!--[endif]-->It’s
OK to change; change is growth. We all want a different outcome, and at
the same time most of us don’t want any change in our lives. Change equals
uncertainty, and uncertainty equals discomfort, and discomfort isn’t much fun.
But when we learn to enjoy the process of change—when we chose to look at the
uncertain as variety instead of uncertainty—then we get to reap all the
rewards of change. And that’s how we grow as people.</div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-align: justify; text-indent: -18.0pt;">
<!--[if !supportLists]-->8.<span style="font-size: 7pt;"> </span><!--[endif]-->You
must make change a must. You see only you know when you are unhappy,
unsatisfied, and unfulfilled. If you are like me, I know this should change.
A friend of mine quoted Anthony Robbins who aptly describes all
these shoulds in my life: he says “after a while you end up shoulding
all over yourself.” Anthony goes on to say when one understand this on an emotional
level you are able to turn your shoulds into musts. So a decision is
not a real decision until it is a must for you, until you are
compelled to take action.</div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-align: justify; text-indent: -18.0pt;">
<!--[if !supportLists]-->9.<span style="font-size: 7pt;"> </span><!--[endif]-->Finding
your passion is important. Maybe you already know what your passion is; maybe
you don’t have a clue. Do yourself a favor and figure it out, it will change
everything for you. Don't miss the magic of the moment by focusing on what’s to
come.</div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-align: justify; text-indent: -18.0pt;">
<!--[if !supportLists]-->10.<span style="font-size: 7pt;"> </span><!--[endif]-->Doubt
kills. The person who stops you from doing everything you want to do, who
stops you from being completely free, who stops you from being healthy or happy
or passionate or living a meaningful life is you. We can doubt ourselves to death.</div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<!--[if !supportLineBreakNewLine]--><br />
<!--[endif]--></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
At the end of the day I’m still
trying to figure it all out. I don’t intend to disseminate my views and
opinions as some sort of absolute lessons by which you should live your life.
What works for me might not work for you (hell, sometimes it doesn’t even work
for me), but it is important to know just what is important for you.</div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt;">Dear Women,<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 13.5pt; margin-bottom: 18.0pt; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt;">First of all, we're sorry. We're sorry that although we look like men,
we often act like boys. We're not even sure what it means to be men anymore. As
we grow up, we learn that to be happy is to be self-indulgent and
self-centered. We try to make enough money so that we can have the right TV
with the right video games in the right home. We want to date you and maybe
even marry you but we are scared to focus on someone else instead of ourselves.
Isn't it sad that we see committing to you as a potential threat to our
happiness instead of a wonderful opportunity?</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt; line-height: 13.5pt;">Here's what we don't understand: True happiness comes from being true
men. We think and act like boys who don't want their toys taken away. We look
up to "role models" in the media who teach us to get as much
gratification out of life as possible. We may claim to be spiritual, or even
firm atheists, but</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt; line-height: 13.5pt;"> </span><i style="line-height: 13.5pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit, serif; font-size: 9pt;">pleasure</span></i><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt; line-height: 13.5pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt; line-height: 13.5pt;">is the god that we worship, whether we
realize it or not. Unfortunately, women tend to be just another part of our
hedonistic lifestyle. Please know this: True men won't treat you like an
irritating obstacle or a sexual convenience.</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt; line-height: 13.5pt;">A real man understands that women are to be cherished and treated with
care and honor. He sees marriage as the opportunity to be a real-life superhero—he
leaves behind his old identity and becomes a new person, dedicated to serving
his wife and children. Although he will struggle at first, a true man who
marries eventually understands that he can't fit through the narrow doorway to
happiness if he tries to carry all of his toys with him. There is just enough
room for him and his wife, arm in arm, committed to their marriage.Women, you
can help us become real men! Most importantly, we want to feel admired by you.
Help us to know that you love us just as we are, even if there is room for
improvement. Do this by giving us words of validation; praise us for the things
we do well. This means more to us than we let on.In return, we will make sure
that you feel loved and cherished by us. We will learn to talk with you so you
can be heard and understood, not so that we can tell you how to solve your
problems. We'll also try to learn to express how we feel without withdrawing or
getting angry. With polished communication we can learn that what makes you happy
makes us happy too! What a concept!Once again, we're sorry. We are to blame,
even though good male role models are hard to find these days. We've ignored
our calling to become true men and instead act like we're in high school for as
long as we can. Please trust that we are capable of more than this.If you are
frustrated with the man in your life, do your best to forgive him and start
fresh. After a while, if it's clear that he will not become a real man, leave
him. You deserve better.A healthy relationship will make everyone involved feel
happy. When we are happy, we are capable of living meaningful and fulfilling
lives alongside one another. Thank you for your understanding and patience as
we journey onward to find happiness and become real men.</span></div>

<div style="color: #010101; font: 13.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 8.0px 0.0px;">
WOW. . . .it has been forever since i last wrote. . . . it has been an interesting 2 oh sorry 3 months in my life with a whole load of stuff going on both good and bad. One of the worst things that happened( won't say it here) has been holding me ransom and i have been having a hard time letting go and moving on with well my life as it should be. That is what got me thinking and i had to do a bit of research on the things that we ( both men and women) do wrong in our relationships. This list below really opened my eyes and made me see myself differently, but most of all it made me appreciate my relationship and most of all Mr. Right So what are the biggest relationships mistakes we make: Kindly fill free to add to the list. . . </div>
<div style="color: #010101; font: 13.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 8.0px 0.0px; min-height: 16.0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #010101; font: 13.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 8.0px 0.0px;">
1. Forgetting to Be Friends</div>
<div style="color: #010101; font: 13.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 15.0px 0.0px;">
The root of a healthy relationship is friendship</div>
<div style="color: #010101; font: 13.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 15.0px 0.0px; min-height: 16.0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #010101; font: 13.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 15.0px 0.0px; min-height: 16.0px;">
2. Intentionally Saying Hurtful Things</div>
<div style="color: #010101; font: 13.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 15.0px 0.0px;">
(this is so me) Even when you are arguing with each other, don't say things that you know will hurt them. Don't disrespect them or say something that could affect them negatively.( I AM SORRY)</div>
<div style="color: #010101; font: 13.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 15.0px 0.0px; min-height: 16.0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #010101; font: 13.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 8.0px 0.0px;">
3. Not Resolving Conflict</div>
<div style="color: #010101; font: 13.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 15.0px 0.0px;">
It's become pretty popular to avoid saying "I'm sorry" at all costs these days. This may work for you if you'd like to make your partner feel terrible, but owning up to your mistakes will be worth it for both of you.</div>
<div style="color: #010101; font: 13.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 15.0px 0.0px; min-height: 16.0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #010101; font: 13.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 8.0px 0.0px;">
4. Can't Handle Distance</div>
<div style="color: #010101; font: 13.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 15.0px 0.0px;">
It is not uncommon for someone to have a job that takes them far away at times. Some people are not cut out for a relationship like this but will make the mistake of trying to stick with it anyway. It may seem brutal to break it off because you can't handle the distance, but in the end you will only be saving each other from years of misery.</div>
<div style="color: #010101; font: 13.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 15.0px 0.0px; min-height: 16.0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #010101; font: 13.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 8.0px 0.0px;">
5. No Romance</div>
<div style="color: #010101; font: 13.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 15.0px 0.0px;">
Sure, feeling like you're in a chick flick can be pretty cheesy, but sometimes it's those cheesy little moments that really show your partner that you care.</div>
<div style="color: #010101; font: 13.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 15.0px 0.0px; min-height: 16.0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #010101; font: 13.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 8.0px 0.0px;">
6. Not Handling Embarrassment</div>
<div style="color: #010101; font: 13.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 15.0px 0.0px;">
A lot of people will accept being with someone that makes them feel embarrassed, or worse, someone that is embarrassed to be seen with them. Don't sell yourself short just because you're afraid of being alone. You owe them and yourself the respect to get out.</div>
<div style="color: #010101; font: 13.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 15.0px 0.0px; min-height: 16.0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #010101; font: 13.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 8.0px 0.0px;">
7. Not Being on the Same Page</div>
<div style="color: #010101; font: 13.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 15.0px 0.0px;">
Some couples have a problem with one person feeling more committed than the other. Make sure you're on the same page about everything. </div>
<div style="color: #010101; font: 13.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 15.0px 0.0px; min-height: 16.0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #010101; font: 13.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 8.0px 0.0px;">
8. Not Seeing Things From Their View</div>
<div style="color: #010101; font: 13.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 15.0px 0.0px;">
You need empathy to get through any other relationship in your life -- with co-workers, your family, your friends -- why should it be different with your partner? (but doesn't mean its his side only)</div>
<div style="color: #010101; font: 13.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 15.0px 0.0px; min-height: 16.0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #010101; font: 13.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 8.0px 0.0px;">
9. Making Assumptions</div>
<div style="color: #010101; font: 13.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 15.0px 0.0px;">
One of the biggest assumptions made in a relationship is thinking that your partner is a certain way just because you met someone else that's that way too. The whole "all guys/girls are the same" idea gets old fast.</div>
<div style="color: #010101; font: 13.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 15.0px 0.0px; min-height: 16.0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #010101; font: 13.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 8.0px 0.0px;">
10. Pretending to Like Things You Don't</div>
<div style="color: #010101; font: 13.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 15.0px 0.0px;">
This is a textbook mistake that people have been making since the beginning of time!(mainly sports yet all you want to do is bum with a good book and a large glass of wine) Be with someone that shares your interests or at least someone that respect your differences, you will be much happier.</div>
<div style="color: #010101; font: 13.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 15.0px 0.0px; min-height: 16.0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #010101; font: 13.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 8.0px 0.0px;">
11. Expecting Things to Change</div>
<div style="color: #010101; font: 13.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 15.0px 0.0px;">
This is a hard lesson for some people to learn, but you can't change your boyfriend/girlfriend. Only they can do that and only when they decide to. If you're waiting it out, expecting something wonderful to happen, you're only wasting your time.</div>
<div style="color: #010101; font: 13.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 15.0px 0.0px; min-height: 16.0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #010101; font: 13.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 8.0px 0.0px;">
12. Constant Fighting</div>
<div style="color: #010101; font: 13.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 15.0px 0.0px;">
I have heard that relationships where you don't fight. . . then gyal your man doesn't really care about you but If you find yourself fighting nearly every day just to make yourself heard, it's probably time to head out or send your partner packing.</div>
<div style="color: #010101; font: 13.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 15.0px 0.0px; min-height: 16.0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #010101; font: 13.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 8.0px 0.0px;">
13Avoiding the Issues</div>
<div style="color: #010101; font: 13.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 15.0px 0.0px;">
Couples that argue all the time are not healthy, however couples that never discuss the tough issues may be worse. If you both keep sweeping problems under the rug and pretending to be happy, the downfall may be drastic.(hahahahaha)</div>
<div style="color: #010101; font: 13.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 15.0px 0.0px; min-height: 16.0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #010101; font: 13.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 15.0px 0.0px;">
Compiling this list was the most refreshing thing i did, i am pretty sure there are more goofs we all make i sure wouldn't mind hearing of them. . . please feel free to add</div>

It isn't about who you've kissed, what sport you play,Or which guy likes you. <br /><br /><br /> It's not about your shoes or your hair,or the color of your skin,or where you live or work. In fact it's not about grades, money or clothes. Life isn't about if you have lots of friends or if you are alone and it's not about how accepted or unaccepted you are. <br /><br /><br />Believe</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> me life isn't about that.</span><div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> <br /><br />Life is about who you love and who you hurt. it's about how you feel about yourself, it's about trust, happiness, and compassion. It's about avoiding jealousy, overcoming ignorance and building confidence. <br /><br /><br /> It's about what you say and what you mean, it's about seeing people for who they are and not for what they have. Most of all it is choosing to use your life in a way that could have never been achieved otherwise. <br /><br /><br /> These choices are what life's about.</span></div>

The saddest thing you can say to anyone is “goodbye,” but sometimes in life, it
is the only thing one can say.it's sad but I’m writing you now, to say that very thing because I feel
the distance that has grown between us and the unspoken words that we both have
been keeping inside so as to not truly hurt one another. I know people, aside
from ourselves, say and do things that influence how we feel or treat others
around us. People can be cruel and unthinking at times. My life does not
revolve around such people and things, but it’s obvious to me now, that you do.
Lately our differences have become more of an issue and I guess our directions
in life have changed so dramatically that to continue as friends would only
become more hurtful to us both. I know you no longer wish to understand the
person I am inside. I sensed it by your silence. I spent my whole life
pretending to be someone else in order to please others. I am very comfortable
now being who I am meant to be, that I will no longer put my own happiness
aside to pacify anyone else, not even you. You have chosen your own path in
life and I see now, it is without me. You have made your choice and I now, make
mine. Our own paths no longer travel in the same direction so our parting as
friends has all but been decided. I want to thank you, though, for the times we
spent together, the great talks, and those moments that only friends can know.
I also want to thank you for the memories I will carry with me of all the
happier times we shared as friends. I rarely remember anything less. You helped
me grow as a person and enjoy the gift that is friendship, even if only for
this short time. I know people come into your life for a reason and not all
remain, but in some ways, you will. I guess we’ve actually been saying goodbye
to each other for some time now, but have both been reluctant to actually say
the words. So now the words have been said and the time has come to put our
friendship to rest. It is far better to part as friends and go on with life,
than to continue on as we are, leading only to bitterness and hurt. Take care,
be well, and know life will always find a way to help you through the saddest
of times. I must leave you now, but in no way, will I ever forget you. Good
Luck and God Bless!</div>

<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"> Today we celebrate an anniversary. . . and i am reflecting on all that we have been through. It has been an amazing FIVE years with Mr. right and in all total honesty i LOVE our RELATIONSHIP. It has not been easy thats for sure, we have had our tests and trials and i believe many more are to come. . .What have i learnt in the past five years?</span></div>

<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><b>1. IT IS NOT ALL 50-50</b></span> -they tell us that we must give equally however it rarely happens, at times its 30- 70 or even 60-40. What matters is that the 60 person isn't resentful of the person who is giving 40 percent.</span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px;">

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><b>2. YOU CANNOT CHANGE YOUR MATE</b></span> - We are so good at the blame game and poor at pondering on how we can become better partners, too often people embark upon a relationship with the expectation of changing their partners into the ideal they want. I have learnt to try and change a person is a setup for a huge let down. . . get to know him and understand him then you will accept him.</span></div>

<div style="font: 13.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 13.0px 0.0px;">
<br />
<br />
Recently, I hung out with a friend who repeatedly made disparaging comments about long term relationships, marriage etc… He is convinced that people in long term relationships are stupid and are not really happy (of course conveniently ignoring or maybe trying to take a slight jab at me since I am in a long term relationship.) <br />
<br />
I just simply said that all people are different. Some people can be happy in long term relationships, some aren’t. He wasn’t too convinced and continued to make cynical remarks, despite the fact (puzzlingly enough) his parents have been happily married for about 30 years, which he admits they seem pretty happy.</div>
<div style="font: 13.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 13.0px 0.0px;">
A lot of people who are staunchly against long term relationships/marriage are either </div>
<div style="font: 13.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 13.0px 0.0px;">
a.) hurt too much by past experiences (but I’ve found many of those people can be rehabilitated) or </div>
<div style="font: 13.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 13.0px 0.0px;">
b.) they’ve never been in an actual long term relationship or had any real experience with romance. <br />
<br />
Those who fall under the “b” category are usually the worst offenders. (Just to note not ALL people who’ve never really experienced romance are cynical. In fact, I would say most aren’t.) I think those who are cynical towards love AND in the “b” category are that way because they are bitter.They hear about people making mistakes and falling in and out of love and they say “HA! YOU FOOLS!” As if they know better. As if their lack of experience simply makes them “smarter.” As if they “chose” to not be in a relationship because they are so “smart.” <br />
<br />
But how can they even know or understand if they’ve never even been in those people’s shoes? Honestly, if you do not have experience, why dole out advice on something you really know nothing at all about?</div>
<div style="font: 13.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 13.0px 0.0px;">
Whenever I hear about people having issues with their relationships, I don’t rush to judgment, because while I have relationship experience it doesn’t mean I necessarily understand EVERY issue in relationships. <br />
<br />
All relationships are dynamic because every person involved is different. Sure they can be some guidelines on what is a successful relationship but it’s not the end all be all; different things work for different people.</div>
<div style="font: 13.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 13.0px 0.0px;">
So as you can tell, my friend falls under the “b” category. He’s never had a relationship. I’m not really sure he’s ever kissed a girl. There’s actually not much wrong with him so I’m not sure why he’s never been in any kind of romantic situation. But I think with every passing year (he’s now in his late 20s) he becomes more self-conscious of his “lack of experience” and in response he has the following defense mechanism: <br />
<br />
“Obviously I’ve never been in a relationship because I CHOOSE not to, because relationships are dumb and only stupid people do it. And it’s a waste of time that prevents you from being successful and satisfied in life. After all it just leads to break-ups and what not etc…” Which is silly because he knows plenty of people who are in relationships and successful and happy. Perhaps he wants to convince himself they really aren’t?</div>
<div style="font: 13.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 13.0px 0.0px;">
Ultimately, I think the smart thing to do is if you do not have much experience in romance or relationships you should give advice in a limited capacity. Just like I wouldn’t ever try to dictate an opinion to a surgeon regarding some complicated surgery he is about to perform, simply because I have watched live surgeries and looked up procedures online. That would be dumb. The same goes for people who lack experience in romance, why act like an authority on a subject you have never experienced?</div>
<div style="font: 13.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 13.0px 0.0px;">
I guess I’m just frustrated. But do you agree? Shouldn’t people gauge their knowledge base and then respond accordingly? Or are you just like my friend, who thinks he knows everything despite lack of experience? </div>

<br /><br /><br /> I will be the first to admit that there are ooop sorry i meant were times when i could get so low that i honestly have no idea where next...... I have searched for happiness in so many places...Funny enough i am experiencing such happiness that i can't explain all i can say is that its Jehovah....you know it says in the book of Phillipians 4.7 that the peace of God that excels all thought will guard YOUR hearts and YOUR mental powers by means of Christ Jesus. so thats the only way i can explain about my happiness......So as i did i realized that there are things that we each can do to make our lives a lot easier and much, much happier. We hold on to so many things that cause us a great deal of pain, stress and suffering – and instead of letting them all go and letting God, instead of allowing ourselves to be stress free and happy – we cling on to them. Not anymore. so if you wanna experience a fraction of my joy then give up on all those things that no longer serve us, and embrace change. <div>
<br />One would ask how feasible this is and its simple start by:</div>
<div>
<br /><b>1. GIVE UP YOUR NEED TO ALWAYS BE RIGHT</b>: It’s just not worth it. Whenever you feel the ‘urgent’ need to jump into a fight over who is right and who is wrong, ask yourself this question: “Would I rather be right, or would I rather be kind?”. What difference will that make? Is your ego really that big?</div>
<div>
<br />2. <b>GIVE UP YOUR NEED FOR CONTROL</b>: Whether they are loved ones, coworkers, or just strangers you meet on the street – just allow them to be. Allow everything and everyone to be just as they are.</div>
<div>
<br />3. <b>GIVE UP ON BLAME</b>: Give up on your need to blame others for what you have or don’t have, for what you feel or don’t feel. Stop giving your powers away and start taking responsibility for your life.</div>
<div>
<br />4. <b>GIVE UP YOUR SELF-DEFEATING SELF-TALK:</b>Don’t believe everything that your mind is telling you – especially if it’s negative and self-defeating. You are better than that.</div>
<div>
<br />5. <b>GIVE UP YOUR LIMITING BELIEFS</b>: Spread your wings and fly!</div>
<div>
<br />6. <b>GIVE UP COMPLAINING</b>: Nobody can make you unhappy, no situation can make you sad or miserable unless you allow it to. It’s not the situation that triggers those feelings in you, but how you choose to look at it. Never underestimate the power of positive thinking.</div>
<div>
<br />7. <b>GIVE UP THE LUXURY OF CRITICISM:</b> We are all different, yet we are all the same. We all want to be happy, we all want to love and be loved and we all want to be understood. We all want something, and something is wished by us all.</div>
<div>
<br />8. <b>GIVE UP YOUR NEED TO IMPRESS OTHERS</b>: Stop trying so hard to be something that you’re not just to make others like you. It doesn’t work this way. </div>
<div>
<br />9. <b>GIVE UP YOUR RESISTANCE TO CHANGE</b>: Change is good. Change will help you move from A to B. Change will help you make improvements in your life and also the lives of those around you. Follow your bliss, embrace change – don’t resist it.</div>
<div>
<br />10.<b> GIVE UP LABELS</b>: Stop labeling those things, people or events that you don’t understand as being weird or different and try opening your mind, little by little. Minds only work when open.</div>
<div>
<br />11. <b>GIVE UP ON YOUR FEARS</b>: Fear is just an illusion, it doesn’t exist – you created it. It’s all in your mind. Correct the inside and the outside will fall into place.</div>
<div>
<br />12. <b>GIVE UP YOUR EXCUSES</b>: Send them packing and tell them they’re fired. You no longer need them. A lot of times we limit ourselves because of the many excuses we use. Instead of growing and working on improving ourselves and our lives, we get stuck, lying to ourselves, using all kind of excuses – excuses that 99.9% of the time are not even real.</div>
<div>
<br />13. <b>GIVE UP THE PAST: </b>I know. It’s hard. Especially when the past looks so much better than the present and the future looks so frightening, but you have to take into consideration the fact that the present moment is all you have and all you will ever have. The past you are now longing for – the past that you are now dreaming about – was ignored by you when it was present. Stop deluding yourself. Be present in everything you do and enjoy life. </div>
<div>
<br />14.<b> GIVE UP ATTACHMENT</b>: This is a concept that, for most of us is so hard to grasp and I have to tell you that it was for me too, (it still is) but it’s not something impossible. You get better and better at with time and practice. The moment you detach yourself from all things, (and that doesn’t mean you give up your love for them you become so peaceful, so tolerant, so kind, and so serene. You will get to a place where you will be able to understand all things without even trying. </div>
<div>
<br />15. <b>GIVE UP LIVING YOUR LIFE TO OTHER PEOPLE’S EXPECTATIONS:</b> Way too many people are living a life that is not theirs to live. They live their lives according to what others think is best for them, they live their lives according to what their parents think is best for them, to what their friends, their enemies and their spouses, their partners and the media think is best for them. They ignore their inner voice, that inner calling. They forget what makes them happy, what they want, what they need….and eventually they forget about themselves. You have one life – this one right now – you must live it, own it, and especially don’t let other people’s opinions distract you from your path.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></div>

"<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">WE’RE CAPTAINS OF OUR SHIP: PARTNERSHIP, FRIENDSHIP"</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I heard this quote in a seminar i once attended and i had been questioning myself is it possible to be happy, in love, and have a relationship that lasts in today’s elec- tronic, e-mail, voice-mail culture? </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">All people change over time, people sometimes say that their partner has changed . "They're not the person i met all those years ago!' no - they're not. Chances are that you both have changed in many ways such as interests, confidence and attitudes.Most couples go through a number of stages in their relationships:</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1.IN LOVE ...this is a time when couples wear rose-tinted glasses, and idealise each other.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2.RECOGNISING DIFFERENCES .. begin to be aware of the differences between them, and become more realistic in their view of each other. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">3.I WANT TO BE ME …here you are learning how to be individuals and much of the energy of the two partners goes into establishing their own lifestyle </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">4.TOGETHER BY CHOICE ...process of finding each other again, of seeking greater intimacy and deepening the relationship. this phase represents the end of the journey from being "in love" to "loving". </span><br />

As in sawa you and him may have explosive sexual encounters, but how does he treat you outside the bedroom? like everything else that is worthwhile to achieve, you have to work at it. surviving the ups and downs becomes the glue that keeps you to- gether….Try the 6 H's to a healthy relationship:</span><br />

</ul>
<ul style="list-style-type: none;"> Finances can be shaky, sex imperfect, stress overwhelming, but all those things can be overcome. Trust is essetial. If trust is broken, your heart is broken. Everything else seems to tumble down, prob- lems become less tolerable, and compromises less appealing.</ul>

</ul>
<ul style="list-style-type: none;">The heart is the major organ of the body. It. Having “heart” for one another means nourishing each other. Opening your heart to one another exposes your deepest feelings. And connecting your hearts binds you deeply and inextricably</ul>

</ul>
<ul style="list-style-type: none;">It’s a word used in marriage vows for a reason. Honoring each other means holding each other in high esteem, considering each other’s needs, and respecting each other—and an even more revered consideration of each other, worshipping each other. </ul>

<ul style="list-style-type: none;">You may have to suffer through love wars before you find your one true love.

Dear Guys;</div>

I know way too many really beautiful girls who think they don't look good... It hurts... because it's your fault. You make girls feel like they have to be perfect. You know what I mean, flat stomach, huge boobs, round ass, long legs, big lips, and on top of all that, nobody can measure up to that... and its not fair... because nobody should have to. The little imperfections are what make us special. If everyone was perfect the world would be so boring, variety is what makes life interesting. So guys, stop making girls have to live up to your, deluded fantasy visions of perfection. Stop acting like boys and start being men... realize that women don't exist to fulfill your sexual desires. Stop talking to them solely to get with them, be nice to them because you want to be their friend, not because you want to hook up with them. Say nice things about them not to flatter them in hopes that you'll get some, but because you know they like to hear them. In short…you need to grow up and stop being dicks... just because you have them doesn't mean you need to think with them</div>

I am your constant companion, I am your greatest helper or heaviest burden. I will push you onwards or drag you down to failure. I am completely at your command. Half of the things you do might just as well turn over to me and i will be able to do them quickly and correctly.| am easily managed _ you must merely be firm with me, show me exactly how you want something done and after a few lessons i will do it automatically.</div>

Sometimes I know the words to say, to give thanks for all you've done but then they fly up and away.How could I possibly thank you enough?The one's to whom I owe my life. The one's who stopped my crying,The one's who were the expert at picking up when i was lying. The one's who made such sacrifices,to always put me first, Who let me test my broken wings in spite of how it hurts.</div>
<div style="color: #101010; font: 18.0px 'Big Caslon'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<br />
Who painted the world as a rainbow when it's filled with broken dreams? Who explained it all so clearly, When nothing was what it seems? Are there really any words for this? I find this question tough... Anything i want to say, just doesn't seem enough.What way is there to thank you? For your heart,your sweat,your tears,for ten thousand little things you've done,For oh-so many years. For changing with me as i changed accepting all my flaws,not loving 'cause you had to, But loving "just because."<br />
<br />
For never giving up on me,when your wits had reached their end,for always being proud of me, for being my best friends and so i have come to realize, the only way to say thank you that's enough,is clear in just one way.Look at me before you, see what I've become, do you see yourselves in me?The job that you have done? All your hopes and all your dreams, the strength thats no one sees,a transfer over many years,your best was past on to me.</div>

<span style="font-size: small;">Have you ever been so low that you have absolutely no idea on what is next? their is a statement that i love it says when you hit rock bottom the only place is up? Many of us we really take prayer lightly as in when we are in problems that is when i we pray..........Recently in Kenya a helicopter landed in a woman's shamba, we ridiculed the whole story, and conversations of the rich and mighty in our country were the hit topics in our social media sites...... this was her story .....I QUOTE HER......<br /><br />"at the start of this season i didn't have money to cultivate my land, as i was bedridden with Malaria and at the same time i didn't have enough money. so i opted to grow sweet potatoes and mihogo of which i got the grafting from a neighbor."<br /><br />"but they did not do as well as i thought and my only son had been chased from highschool due to a fees balance of 11,000Kshs."<br /><br />"on Sunday the little i thought i would get from the farm was destroyed when a helicopter landed on my farm due to bad weather. It attracted a huge crowd and they really stamped on my crops"<br /><br />"Alas as the weather cleared the pilot and the owner of the helicopter reached his pocket and gave me 21,000Kshs and said he was just compensating for the damage caused due to his Helicopter landing on my farm."<br /><br />never in my life have i made such a harvest, my son is back to class and will do KNEC exams this year" "INDEED GOD WORKS IN A MYSTERIOUS WAY"<br /><br />at your lowest moments....when hope is gone,.....Dont loose hope. God uses any means to bless you and when he does your sorrow will be gone</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">This is what happens when we get on our knees: it was all over the news this week. She prayed and GOD answered her payers. This happened so you may believe that GOD is there, alive and hears our prayers. God has given you a chance, MUMIA, dont gobble it. Read on.................................</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">This list is what i believe that every man should know about women, its
certainly not all inclusive as there are literally millions of things that
men could and probably should learn about women, but probably never
will. This list is simply an abstract, a compilation of things that many
men already know and for the benefit of those who
do not.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">1 We are stronger than you are.
Emotionally that is. Yeah,we may cry easier than men, but just watch
what happens as time rolls on. No matter what, they're still there,
standing strong, long after the men have left the building.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">2 - OH we hate bras. wee can never get them to fit and we hate the way they're advertised. We also don't like how men react to bras.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">3.1. Saying "i love you" or doing other cutesy things don't count if
they're only done when you're in trouble. In fact, they will be
completely ignored.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">4. Playfulness turns us on. Women like to tease and be teased.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">5. We can't promise that we won't get mad when you tell the truth, but we WILL be even madder if you lie.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"> 6. We don't always smell good. It's true. No matter how sweet and feminine, there are times when a woman can make a man want to hold his nose and run.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"> 7. Contrary to popular belief, most women won't try to blackmail you with
sex, but if we're unhappy with you, we won't be "in the mood". If you
want some action, you need to make us happy.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">8.We want to be the most important thing in your life at least ahead of gaming, pokemon, and your favorite band. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"> 9.
Most women can take care of themselves, but it's cute when you're A
LITTLE protective of us. Small things like calling to make sure we made
it home safely go a long way. (That's also why we have you get rid of
bugs -- that small demonstration of taking care of us.)</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">10. We like neck and ear stuff more than you think. we like to be nuzzled for a long time. In fact, they are never done with that before you are. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">11. Women like frequent small shows of affection. Gross PDA is not
encouraged, but things like a quick hug from behind or running your hand
across our shoulders as you walk by is adorable.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">12.Women love to be complimented and aren't ashamed to show it. They love
especially to hear nice things about those things they are most

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span>Everyone wonders what’s her secret? she is a survivor, and a fighter, and yet still posses the ability to cry. Face to face with adversity she will only pass through fire with strength.She pulls herself up crawls, stands, and finally walks again,to continue to give amazing color to the world in which she lives.She is the girl who has been raped and called a whore, the mother with 3 kids and no father to support them , the woman with cancer who still manages to come out on top , the grandmother who is forced to be a mother yet again because Of her daughters mistakes. They all have one thing in common…. The Real Strength of a Woman . Every woman is a catalyst for any little girl to become the same, so the question is what will be the consequences from her name? Strong relays an outward appearance yet under pressure it cracks, And only through strength will she be able to withstand the attack. Imagine how tough women have to be not just bearing and raising their child, While at the same time many have to control their spouse from running wild, A single or married mom with a tight knit family that's united for any length, now that's strength. </span><span>Isn't it amazing disciples from miraculous powers were big and
strong, Peter cut off a servant's ear but denied Christ 3 times it
didn't last long, Yet two Mary's and Salome the weaker sex faithfully
stood by at length. Elsewhere blacks sat in the back of the bus for years although it was wrong, now imagine how many men complied who were big and Strong, But, it was a female, Rosa Parks, who would not budge one inch, Yet another example of what it means for women to have Strength. Never underestimate the strength of a woman, for we are mysterious creatures that can not be explained.It is thousands of years later, man still cries, 'first the woman was deceived, ' As Adam looked at God and said, 'it was that woman you gave me' oh Eve? It always happens that when things go wrong we are quick to pass the blame? Sin didn't manifest till Adam ate the fruit as well but he put it on Eve's name.We will stand even when the world is falling down around us.We will reinvent ourselves, and grow beyond expectation. I still don’t fully know the strength of a woman but every woman out there that I’ve seen, met or come into contact with lal possess these qualities in one way, shape or form.</span></div>

<span style="font: 16.0px 'Lucida Grande';"><b><br />
<br />
</b></span><b>1. There are two types of males: Dishonorable males and honorable men. Don’t date or marry until you know how to tell the difference between the two! The woman in the mirror will graciously thank you.</b><span style="font: 16.0px 'Lucida Grande';"><b><br />
<br />
<br />
</b></span><b>2. Honorable men are protectors. They will guard your heart, protect your emotions, defend your honor and stand as champions for your spiritual, mental and physical well-being; choose an honorable man and choose life!</b><span style="font: 16.0px 'Lucida Grande';"><b><br />
<br />
</b></span><b>3. This is a true saying: “The soul of a woman is fragile.” Please note: dishonorable males refuse to respect this crucial truth. They will toy with a woman’s emotions without any semblance of concern or compassion. Therefore YOU must guard your heart from these cold-hearted males with all diligence.</b><span style="font: 16.0px 'Lucida Grande';"><b><br />
<br />
<br />
</b></span><b>4. Good men need to be treated like good men, dishonorable males, need to be let go and left alone!</b><span style="font: 16.0px 'Lucida Grande';"><b><br />
<br />
<br />
</b></span><b>5.Dishonorable males treat sex as a sport, females as trophies and children they sire as wastepaper. Never allow yourself to become their next score, mantle piece or sperm repository.</b><span style="font: 16.0px 'Lucida Grande';"><b><br />
<br />
<br />
</b></span><b>6. Women who hold grudges, seek vengeance, cling to bitterness and are unwilling to forgive, unwittingly break their own hearts!</b><span style="font: 16.0px 'Lucida Grande';"><b><br />
<br />
<br />
</b></span><b>7. Heed the sage advice of some caring brothers and honorable men. If he doesn’t fit - don’t force him, just relax and let him go. Destiny is on your side… TRUE LOVE will find you!</b><span style="font: 16.0px 'Lucida Grande';"><b><br />
<br />
<br />
</b></span><b>8. Self-love: if you don’t have it, pull yourself off the market. Make no mistake about it, if you don’t love yourself, NO MAN can ever love you… no matter how great a man he is.</b><span style="font: 16.0px 'Lucida Grande';"><b><br />
<br />
<br />
</b></span><b>9. Don’t judge ALL men by one man’s actions; unless you want ALL men to judge you based on the acts of all immoral women.</b><span style="font: 16.0px 'Lucida Grande';"><b><br />
<br />
<br />
</b></span><b>10. Most women learn how to choose a mate the hard way; they go through a gut wrenching string of emotionally detached males, jerks, pimps, thugs and players. Don’t become one of those heart broken and bitter women!</b><span style="font: 16.0px 'Lucida Grande';"><b><br />
<br />
<br />
</b></span><b>11. You are not a man! Therefore, you will never be: a role model for men, a father figure, a man’s mentor or a man’s coach. If a man has lacked proper male leadership in his life, kindly send him on his way. Know for a certainty; he is not prepared for the responsibilities that come with love, sex, relationship and marriage.</b></div>

<b></b><span style="font: 16.0px 'Lucida Grande';"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Arial Narrow';"><br /></span>
</b></span><b>12. Don’t ever delude yourself! Your beauty, fine body, sexual prowess, cooking skills, femininity and vibrant personality will never be enough to change a man, NEVER!</b><span style="font: 16.0px 'Lucida Grande';"><b><br />
<br />
</b></span><b>13. If your potential mate does such things as: promises to call you but doesn’t, makes dates and breaks them, shows up late or plays games with your emotions; take notes ladies... those are clear cut warning signs that he DOES NOT value you, he DOES NOT love you and he DOES NOT care about you!</b><span style="font: 16.0px 'Lucida Grande';"><b><br />
<br />
<br />
</b></span><b>14. Angry, bitter, hostile, combative, unforgiving single women, become: angry, bitter, hostile and combative, unforgiving wives.</b><span style="font: 16.0px 'Lucida Grande';"><b><br />
<br />
<br />
</b></span><b>15. A fundamental understanding and respect of the male ego is a must for all women who want a vibrant and healthy love; DO NOT obtain this crucial information from dishonorable males or from angry bitter women.</b><span style="font: 16.0px 'Lucida Grande';"><b><br />
<br />
<br />
</b></span><b>16. Spoiled women are like spoiled milk, spoiled meat, spoiled fruit spoiled bread and spoiled brats. Get the picture? Don’t become a spoiled woman!</b><span style="font: 16.0px 'Lucida Grande';"><b><br />
<br />
<br />
</b></span><b>17. You’ve asked these questions, “Why doesn’t he call me more often? Why doesn’t he pursue me more diligently and why doesn’t he show me that he loves me?” Answer; he’s not into you! If you don’t let him go and move on with your life, you will allow him to hinder or block your true love from finding you!</b><span style="font: 16.0px 'Lucida Grande';"><b><br />
<br />
<br />
</b></span><b>18. All men ARE NOT dogs! Don’t believe, repeat or perpetuate that rampant lie! You will hamper your ability to see and discern the good men who cross your path!</b></div>

<b></b><span style="font: 16.0px 'Lucida Grande';"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Arial Narrow';"><br /></span>
</b></span><b>19. Some males like to hit women. It gives them a sense of power and control. If you give yourself to one of these abusive males, most assuredly you will become a punching bag and a floor mat. It is critical that you learn how to detect and avoid these cretins!</b></div>
<div style="font: 16.0px 'Arial Narrow'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 21.0px 0.0px;">
<b></b><span style="font: 16.0px 'Lucida Grande';"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Arial Narrow';"><br /></span>
</b></span><b>20. Promiscuous immoral women are not worthy of an honorable man. They never have been and they never will be.</b></div>
<div style="font: 16.0px 'Arial Narrow'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 21.0px 0.0px;">
<b></b><span style="font: 16.0px 'Lucida Grande';"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Arial Narrow';"><br /></span>
</b></span><b>21. Never allow emotionally embittered women to influence you concerning the male gender. If you do, their hatred and unforgiveness will become yours. Soon you will find yourself suspicious, indignant and angry at all men.</b><span style="font: 16.0px 'Lucida Grande';"><b><br />
<br />
<br />
</b></span><b>22. You were not designed, built or destined for abuse, whether: emotionally, physically or financially. If he is an abuser, there is no need to deliberate… he IS NOT the one; leave him now!</b><span style="font: 16.0px 'Lucida Grande';"><b><br />
<br />
<br />
</b></span><b>23. Some women live their lives vicariously through the women on “Girlfriends, Sex In The City and Desperate Housewives.” Don’t become one of these women. If you do, you will make a literal mess of your life, emotions, physical body and well-being.</b><span style="font: 16.0px 'Lucida Grande';"><b><br />
</b></span><b>24. When a man truly loves you, he will honor and respect you. If he doesn't… don’t deceive yourself and don’t allow him to defraud you; he DOES NOT love OR care about you!</b><span style="font: 16.0px 'Lucida Grande';"><b><br />
<br />
<br />
</b></span><b>25. There is a vast difference between sex and love. Most men know the difference and you had better learn it fast! If you fail or refuse to do so, you are surely headed for relationship or marital crash and burn.</b><span style="font: 16.0px 'Lucida Grande';"><b><br />
