Why do we "ignore" red flags?

Why do we go with the flow?

Why do we let our boundaries blur?

I can still hear her words, like it was yesterday.
“Run my Girlie! Rrrrrrun!”

And then it kicked in…

My thoughts racing…

You will be amazed how one small, polite "no" could alter the course of your life.

If you have to weigh up between feeling irritated, resentful, and tired vs feeling calm, joyful and light, why is it so damn hard to say NO?

It's funny how, one doesn't notice things at first.It creeps in slowly.A little white lie to start with. Who could it possibly harm?

SO, it’s NO~VEMBER, and I am excited!

My theme for the next few weeks is all about saying NO to the things that no longer serve us, and saying YES to the things that fill us up and energize us!

It’s a time to learn how to set a boundary or two, and more importantly how to keep those boundaries in place.

There is definitely a difference between men and women when it comes to gossip.

The difference between gossip and a discussion.
(And a challenge - come on, I dare you!)

When somebody is found out to be cheating, the women in the community run around and gossip about it, as opposed to sitting around and having a discussion about it.

(Relax, I will talk about the men in another post!)

“Why would you want to mentor and coach a woman who has betrayed another woman?”
Said nobody to Annie ever! 😉

I know this is a question that many are thinking.

When you go through hardships, or through traumatic experiences, it can change the way you think, the way you live, and the way you grow.

With every interaction, and with every shared moment, I learn a little more about myself too, and I fucking LOVE it!

When it comes to infidelity, the web is all in the eyes of the beholder.

It’s so unfair.
It’s unfair on you, and it’s unfair on his wife.

How could this have happened?
How could I have done this? Was I SO naïve?
How could I not have read the signs?
Why did I ignore the warnings of others?

Everything we do in life is either because we’re avoiding pain or because we’re moving toward pleasure.

The power is in YOUR hands.

Whether you realize it or not, YOU have control over how others treat you, and what behaviours you will accept.

I wish I could tell you there's an easy way out of your situation, but there's not.

When you are in a relationship with a married man, there is NEVER an easy way out.

Shit happens in life. And there is nothing worse than being alone and isolated when shit is going down.

As humans, we are social creatures. As women, we like to share and talk about our feelings. Well, most of us. 😉

If he can do this to his wife, would he do that to you?
Is all this heartache and doubt really worth it anymore?

I loved him. He loved me.

And that is all I needed to know, for a very long time.
