Ladies and Gentlemen

I came across this saying on Pinterest the other day, and haven't been able to get the truth of it out of my thoughts. I come across guys often and I can't help but ask myself, "Did your mother not teach you better?" Then the next question I ask myself is, "Who have you been dating, that has taught you it is okay to treat women that way?" I think it's an absolute disservice to all other women when girls don't act like ladies and give guys the challenge to be true gentlemen. Girls need to be taught to value themselves more and challenge men to treat them as ladies. I know I've done this myself. I only hope to challenge more people to truly be ladies and gentlemen.

Quote of the Week

What a great quote to start off the New Year with!!

"You Are the Window Through Which You See the World"

"Best keep yourself clean and bright; you are the window through which you see the world." ~ George Bernard Shaw

It's easy to forget how much color we add to our experiences. We can look at the same sky one hour and think it's beautiful, then come back later and find it ugly. When we forget how our thoughts and feelings change the way we see, we begin to accept reality as our tainted view. To some extent this is inevitable, but as Shaw suggests it's best to remain clean and bright else you'll find yourself seeing your world without its merits.

The more I experience in life, the more these words really make sense. This quote reminds me of just how truly blessed I am to have a handful of people who really matter in my life.
