Something Good!
When the driveway doorbell plays the first few notes on Beethoven’s 5th and the mail lady’s horn sounds you know something good is going to happen. Sure enough a brown envelope from a (I want to use the word dear here and I will) friend in another state. It contains the work of a woman who brings a bit of personal life, daily struggles, and worth while accomplishments every day to my life. She makes me want to cheer for her accomplishments, feel sad when she is sad, and happy when she is happy. That is a lot to give to someone like me who was a stranger not so very long ago. Now I can hold her labor of love in my hands and share it with others who are important in my life. Thank you ever so much!
HELLO, Beautiful!!
Did you know that it’s Beautiful Women Month?
Well, it is and that means you and me. I’m supposed to send this to FIVE BEAUTIFUL WOMEN but I wanted to share this with everyone.
Facts on Figures: There are 3 billion women who don’t look like super models and only eight who do.
Did you know Marilyn Monroe wore a size 14 ?
If Barbie was a real woman, she’d have to walk on all FOURS due to her proportions!
The average woman weighs 144 pounds, and wears between a size 12-14.
One out of every 4 college-aged women has an eating disorder.
The Models in the magazines are AIRBRUSHED!!! - NOT Perfect!!
A psychological study in 1995 found that 3 minutes spent looking at a Fashion Magazine caused 70% of women to feel depressed, guilty and SHAMEFUL!
Models 20 years ago weighed 8% Less than the average Woman.
Today they weigh 23% less......
~~ Beauty of a Woman ~~
The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears,
The figure she carries, or the way she combs her hair.
The beauty of a woman must be seen from her eyes,
Because that is the doorway to her heart,
The place where love resides.
The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mole,
But true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul.
It is the caring that she lovingly gives,
The passion that she shows.
The beauty of a woman
With time, only grows..
An English professor wrote the words: “WOMAN WITHOUT HER MAN IS NOTHING” on the blackboard, and directed the students to punctuate it correctly
The men wrote: “Woman, WITHOUT HER MAN, is nothing.”
The women wrote: “WOMAN!! WITHOUT HER, man is nothing!”
The Images of Mother
4 years OF AGE Y My Mommy can do anything!
8 YEARS OF AGE Y My Mom knows a lot! A whole lot!
12 YEARS OF AGE Y My Mother doesn’t really know quite everything.
14 YEARS OF AGE Y Naturally, Mother doesn’t know that, either!
16 YEARS OF AGE Y Mother? She’s hopelessly old-fashioned.
18 YEARS OF AGE Y That old woman? She’s way out of date!
25 YEARS OF AGE Y Well, she might know a little bit about it.
35 YEARS OF AGE Y Before we decide, let’s get Mom’s opinion.
45 YEARS OF AGE Y Wonder what Mom would have thought about it?
65 YEARS OF AGE Y Wish I could talk it over with Mom. .
This is for all the phenomenal women I know in celebration of Women’s History Month.
Thank you Pam for sharing!
