ALL WOMEN READ THIS!

I am WOMAN, hear me rawr!!!!

Yes, I meant to spell it that way. The feminists as a whole really messed things up for women. AND for men. We were difficult enough to figure out before, and now the poor guys have no clue what to do with us. Sadly, neither do we.

We have always been our own worst enemy - to each other and ourselves. The "mean girls" phenomenon is nothing new. Some women will always bash others in an attempt to feel better about themselves. They might as well be wearing a sign around their necks that says "I have no positive self-esteem!!!". The working Moms (which makes no sense as a term because ALL Moms work, tyvm!!) against the stay at home Moms. The breast feeding Moms against the formula Moms. Private school Moms against the public school Moms. Home schooling Moms against everyone! (Why do people give Moms who choose to home school such a hard time???) Women who can afford all the designers against the women who shop at Walmart. You get the idea. It's always "us" making fun of "them". Because we can. Because they're different. Because it's fun. Because we're better.

If that wasn't bad enough, we beat ourselves up on a real regular basis too, trying to fit a mold we think is what the world wants. Trying to be a particular dress size, not to be healthy but to be achieve acceptance. Trying to be all things to all people, to feel worthy. Picking ourselves apart, by one imagined flaw after another. How could anyone love us??? Just LOOK
at the.....zit on my chin, vein in my leg, junk in my trunk, crooked nose, etc etc etc!

Ha, ha! Made you smile!!

Wanna know what the world wants?? For you to be HAPPY! Happy, and upbeat, and doing what makes you, uniquely you. If God wanted us all to be the same, He would have made us all the same! Instead He made us all in His image, special and with love. You think you know better than God??

Your awesomeness is NOT dependent on:
Your dress size.
Your skin color.
Your neighborhood.
Your last name.
Your checkbook.
Your car.
Your house.
Your job.
Your looks.
Your possessions.
Your husband, or lack thereof.
Your children, or lack thereof.

Your awesomeness is dependent on your heart.

So the next time you are tempted to point your finger and giggle at someone because of something stupid and superficial.........don't. Just don't. She might not be able to afford better clothes. She might have a loved one who is dying and doesn't care what she looks like. She might be out of work. You just don't know. So instead of making fun of her, pray for her. Smile warmly at her. Be the person God would have you be. Because you are NOT better than her!

And give yourself a break too! YOU are the only person obsessing over your "flaws". Really. It's just you, and no one else cares that you have freckles on your boobs, or about that weirdo birthmark, or veins on your legs that look like a map of Chicago. No one. OK? So let it go.

And stop beating yourself up because you aren't what you think you should be too. It's really perfectly ok to buy grocery store cupcakes for the kiddo's school party!!! Do you really think they care who made them?!? NO! But if cooking is your thing and you can't wait to make the next Martha Stewart creation - go for it! Just be you! I think women in general would be happier if they really sat down and figured out what made THEM happy, and just stuck with that. Don't be who you think you should be, or who someone else says you should be - just be yourself! Then work on being the best you, you can be. If the rest of the world doesn't "get" you, then that is their problem not yours!!!!

Now stand up and...

RAWR!!!!!!

Make it a GREAT DAY while you discover
your personal brand of awesomeness!
