Lorie Says - HOW TO BE A CONFIDENT WOMAN

Comic Book Artist J. Bone Envisions Michele Obama As Wonder Woman

Confidence is assurance, belief, coolness and dignity in oneself.  It means a belief in your ability to succeed. The best way for you a woman to be confident is first you must love yourself.  How can anyone love someone else if you don’t love yourself?  

Don’t try to pretend to be someone or something you are not. Embrace your flaws and your gifts and talents.  One author said, “a confident woman avoids comparing herself to others. You are your own person, wonderfully and marvelously made. 

Accept constructive criticism. Learn and know that you will make mistakes, and you will fail, but just get back up again. Let others help you, learn from them. Gain wisdom from the elderly, remember they have been where you are in one form or another. 

Find where your voice fits. Your voice may not fit in every arena, that’s where you use your gifts and talents, follow your passion.  “Your gift will make room for you.”
Confident women have opinions, and you should not be afraid to share them because what you have to share is important. 

Learn to give and learn to take without the shame or guilt. A common trap is to give to everyone, all the while neglecting yourself and your needs. Recognize your limits.
Live in the now. Confident women know that there are no guarantees, cherish every moment and live it like it was your last. Let go of the past, all that you have is now.
Share your smile. When a woman is happy on the inside, it shows on the outside. Be your amazing self. Be happy - when you do it’s contagious. 

Confidence does not come from selfishness it involves others. So live L.I.F.E.Love yourself and others, Invest in yourself and others, Forgive yourself and others and Expect great things for yourself and for others.  

HAVE A GREAT LIFE

Lorie Says - HOW TO BE A GOOD WIFE

How To Be A Good Wife 

...It has it’s challenges.  Of course, as a newlywed you have no clue. It’s a work in progress, but even in the challenges and differences you need to know you were made for each other, the differences are good and help make a marriage work.  You don’t need to have everything in common.

It takes time for 2 people to learn to live together.  You have to learn everything.  While you're dating you're busy trying to impress each other.  Marriage brings out everything, the good and the not so good, habits and faults. That is why you need to know that he is the one, for better or for worse.  In marriage you learn and understand that everything is not about you. You have to consider the other person in everything.  There’s a lot to consider and a lot to do.  We all have certain expectations, but both spouses need to know how to listen, communication is the key.

If you’re a good person, decent, giving, respectful, unselfish, forgiving and loving then you have great qualities to be a good wife.  Know your place.  Every home needs a head of household and income.  As I’ve been told, it can’t be 2 heads that’s a deformity and chaos. The Bible speaks that the husband is the head of the wife, which doesn’t mean she has no say in a matter, but he should lead lovingly. 

Men are logical and headliners. Women are emotional and detailed. It’s teamwork - two becoming one.  Where one is weak, the other may be strong.  Recognize those areas and use wisdom and work together.  There will be hits and misses, that’s how you grow together and get better at being a good wife.

A good wife has been through the ups and downs, squeezed and pressured and has learned how to turn lemons into lemonade because you were made for him.

Lorie Says - FINDING MR. RIGHT IS?

Finding Mr. Right

Is there such a person?

What makes him Mr. Right?

To be right is to be correct, true, exact or precise.

I think, Mr. Right has become women’s perception of the perfect man, and as we know there aren’t any perfect men and neither are we "the woman."  Remember that men are also looking for Ms. Right.

So it all really boils down to what you want.  Someone said to forget Mr. Right and look at whether he’s a keeper or a loser.

There are things in life we can’t live with, and we can’t live without or things that outweigh the other.  “Don’t major on the minor.”.In other words don’t sweat the small stuff.  Just because a man is a bad house keeper doesn’t make him Mr. Wrong.

You have to look at what’s important in this life; love, laughter, living, shelter, food, kindness, generosity, etc.  Mr. Right or the one who is a keeper should be the one who cares for you, loves you, gives to you, cherishes you, wants to be with you, and will sacrifice himself for you, cries with you and laughs with you. Now that’s a keeper! - which means; you have to spend time with a person to even know if they have any of these qualities. 

Now while the physical appearance may be the first thing that draws you, it shouldn’t be the only thing.  Many women have passed up a Mr. Right, because he didn’t look good enough or wasn’t dressed the right way. These things can be fixed or changed in a moment’s notice.

There are things that guide you in saying yes to your Mr. Right; cleanliness, personal habits, lifestyle, how he relates to you, how critical he is , attitude, relationship with his parents/family and of course can he take care of you (JOB)?

So in your quest for Mr. Right, he may be right there in your face.  Relax, be happy, love and live life.  Mr. Right is looking for you Ms. Right.

All that you want, you need to be.
