Being A Woman

• Just because no one has been fortunate enough to realize what a gold mine you are, doesn't mean you shine any less.

• Just because no one has been smart enough to figure out that you can't be topped, doesn't stop you from being the best.

• Just because no one has come along to share your life, doesn't mean that day isn't coming.

• Just because no one has made this race worthwhile, doesn't give you permission to stop running.

• Just because no one has realized how much of an awesome woman you are, doesn't mean they can affect your femininity.

• Just because no one has come to take the loneliness away, doesn't mean you have to settle for a lower quality.

• Just because no one has shown up who can love you on your level, doesn't mean you have to sink to his or hers.

• Just because you deserve the very best there is, doesn't mean that life is always fair.

• Just because God is still preparing your king, doesn't mean that you're not already a Queen.

• Just because your situation doesn't seem to be progressing right now, doesn't mean you need to change a thing.

Keep shining, keep running, keep hoping, keep praying, keep being exactly what you are already complete......

2 Days Before Val's Day - Love Tips

Small talk sometimes define as meaningless conversation to fill empty silences. But it can be an opportunity to make a lasting impression with the person you are talking with. Here's to do to make small talks become more interesting:

• Avoid the typical conversation such as comments about the weather. Choose interesting topics to you and the person you're talking to.
• Make yourself confrontable. People will be more receptive to having a conversation with you if you approach them with a smile and an easy manner.
• Be yourself. Reveal who you really are.
• Talk about things you know. Don't ever act like you know about something that you don't. It's more embarrassing to be caught in a lie.
• Pick a topic based on a current event. But make yourself appear more interesting, not argumentative.
• Ask people about their work and hobbies. People love to talk about themselves.

Having a partner not only that you have someone in your life and do fun things together. But when they're feeling down, or depressed, you have to be there for them too. The most important thing is to learn how to be a good listener.

• When they want to talk, put everything else out of your mind and be there with them while they are talking.
• Listen to what is actually being said and look at them when they are talking to you.
• Very often, they won't say exactly what's on their mind straight away. By looking for their emotional tone, voice inflections etc., you will get indicator of what is bothering them and also how it is affecting them.
• Remain calm when they are angry. They will lash out at you because you are there. If you get angry back, it will only make things worse.
• Affirm and agree with what they say or feeling, but try to avoid drawing comparisons like, "I've been there before." This will bring a break in communication, and also seem like you're invalidating what they're feeling. Try saying something like, "That must be frustrating (or other emotion) for you."
• Avoid general statements like, "It will get better" or, "Everything will be okay". It can be taken the wrong way, like they can't find their own solution without your help. Ask them questions that will help them come to a positive conclusion. For example, "What are you going to do?" or, "What do you think will happen?"
• Don't make assumptions like, "You're scared" or, "You're worried." Even if they're feeling that way, it isn't your place to tell them so. They will take it as if you're telling them what to feel instead of offering your support. Try asking what they are feeling and why.
• Offer your help can make all the difference in the world to them. Just make sure to let them show or tell you how to help them.
• Offer your support. Send a card or a letter letting them know you are there for them. Or allow yourself to be a shoulder to cry on.
