TV portrays us so often as vapid, self-centered, catty witches only looking to climb the social ladder. (Yes E! entertainment television I'm talking about your shows. lol!) We're so much more than that in the real world! We strong, smart, caring warrior women! :)Dana Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13015202853572167592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22557751.post-12965942377091633902010-03-21T00:29:51.792-05:002010-03-21T00:29:51.792-05:00I've never heard this before:
if a potential ...I've never heard this before:<br /><br />if a potential attacker starts talking at you harshly to intimidate you, you are supposed to match his/her tone and volume.<br /><br />I LOVE IT. And especially for our daughters, who are taught to be polite and kind...to realize that when their gut tells them something is wrong, to SPEAK UP. That's valuable.<br /><br />I was mugged once, when I was 19. Not bad. Walking to work in my crappy neighborhood at 5:45 am. A boy who had been out partying until the wee hours followed me and took my purse. Why didn't I scream for help? Because it was so early, and it felt wrong to disturb the neighbors. My mom was horrified that I reacted this way in a dire situation when I could have been hurt. In retrospect, so am I. YELL.<br /><br />Good for you for speaking up. And when you have a kid, wait. Your inner warrior will be SO much stronger. Not only for little slights, but for real issues. Having faced a very real issue this year with my own daughter, I am proud of the warrior within me facing that issue down. Sometimes it comes from the outside, and sometimes not, but either way, you're the best person (you and Brian...you as a parent) to stomp it down.Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00653383372182667361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22557751.post-43730368303523557932010-03-19T11:38:46.449-05:002010-03-19T11:38:46.449-05:00Dana Cheryl,

If I don't who will?! :)Dana Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13015202853572167592noreply@blogger.com
