Do what You Must, Even When You Think You Can't
Do what You Must, Even When You Think You Can't That is the secret to succeeding at anything. Remember the story, 'The Little Engine That Could'? "I think I can..." When presented with a task, any task, except of course things like brain surgery, crank up the confidence. Go with it and tell yourself, 'I Can Do This...' Change the problem into a challenge and tackle it with enthusiasm. Pump yourself up with "I CAN DO THIS!" Stop the fear of failure in its tracks.

Be Not Afraid
Have you ever wondered why the world is the way it is today? I have. I have come to the conclusion that the world is in the predicament it is in because the majority of people focus on what they don't like. I would suggest that all of the whiners stop whining and turn their attention to making the world a better place. Think in terms of solutions, not how the other guy is doing something you don't like. If you don't like the way one does something then it is your responsibility to do it better.

Verbal Abuse
Verbal abuse is probably the most common form of abuse exercised today, but it is also one form of abuse that is not publically recognized. Children experience verbal abuse at the hands of their parents, school mates and others; growing up thinking it is a normal way to behave. As adults, they then exercise this type of abuse on others they interact with, because it is what they know. Most abusers grew up in abusive homes and learned to deal with life this way. This is not an excuse for their behavior, but it is a reasonable explaination.

The Fear
In my first marriage I was afraid of the man's words. He told me that I was stupid, which I am not; he told me no one else would want me, which was a lie. He got in my face and screamed at me for everything. I was afraid that every hateful thing he'd ever said about me was true. I was afraid that I could not raise and support a child on my own because I was so worthless. I was afraid that my son would grow up to be like his dad, and that is what put my feet in motion. In my second marriage I was fearful of the man.r

Power and Control: A Foundation of Domestic Violence
According to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, the power and control of verbal abuse is certainly a form of domestic violence. I was in a grocery store several days ago when I heard a man speaking to his partner in a low voice. So I pretended to look through various products on the shelves in front of them. The man said in a low growl, "if you buy that, I'll take your car keys for a week. Do you understand me?"

DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AGAINST MEN: IT IS MORE PREVALENT THAN WE THINK
Mark and Valerie had just left a movie. Hand in hand, they strolled toward their car and suddenly heard shouting and screaming. They stopped walking. The mall parking lot was well lit. They listened, scanned the area but did not see nor hear anyone. As Mark opened the door to their car, they heard the loud voice again. A male voice. “Leave me alone! “he shouted. This has gone on long enough. I’m filing for divorce. You’re a sick woman! You just broke my nose! You need professional help. I’ll take a cab and pick up my car and the kids at the house. Just leave!” Then silence.r

She is quick to answer when questioned as if the answers have been pre-orchestrated.

Being Vulnerable in Love
We have all been hurt or damaged in some way by the actions of another. Once the shock has worn off over what happened, we are often left with bitte ess and resentment at the other person. We hold on to the pain and by doing so, we end up creating a barrier around our heart. This barrier protects us from harm, but it also prevents us from receiving love from others. This fear of what may happen again prevents us from being able to receive the gift of love today.

Sometimes Love Isn't Enough: Accepting the End of a Relationship
There are few things in life more agonizing than realizing that despite our best efforts, an important relationship cannot be sustained. Sometimes the pain of this realization is too much to bear. Instead of accepting the truth, we slip into denial. We pretend that the problems don’t exist. We delude ourselves into thinking that everything will work out with just a little more time. Or we may acknowledge things are beyond repair, yet still refuse to let go. Instead of moving on, we allow ourselves to remain in a situation that is increasingly damaging to our self-esteem.

How do we disguise the lies we tell in the name of, or for the sake of "love"? Love lies in disguise. Kept a secret so as not to rock the boat, we stuff how we really feel. What we truly want.

Sharing the Gifts of Communication.....It has to be presented by the receiver & opened by the giver...

For thousands of women all over the world the concept of domestic abuse is a part of their daily lives.

Anger on the Streets of London
There are times in life when feelings can run high and when anger that has been simmering under the surface, bubbles over into full blown chaos. This was the case yesterday during the student demonstration against the planned hike in university fees. In such environments, one angry person is not good -especially for that person‘s health: two people can create a spark that once goes off, can lead to an anger related outburst and -in the case of the protestors yesterday- 52,000 angry people is a recipe for full blown confrontation and mayhem.

***The Dangers of Cyber-stalking
I am a great fan of technology and all the ways it enhances our lives and businesses, however it gives rise to a particularly 21st Century phenomenon, Cyber-stalking.

Stop the Cycle of Abuse!
Constantly leaving and being persuaded back into the trap of an abusive relationship is a cycle that needs to stop, and you can stop right now. This cycle will not end until you completely end all contact with your partner. Do not under estimate the power they have over you, and stop pretending that you will leave if it gets to that point. Trust me, it is already at that point. If you leave once, or even threaten to leave because he/she was abusive and return, then you are living this cycle of abuse. Even the strongest person can fall into this vicious cycle.

Surviving The Loss Of A Child
Everything happened so fast. That morning I was strangled to near unconsciousness by my abusive husband because I wouldn’t get an abortion, and that night I’m in the emergency room at Fort Bragg being admitted in pre-term labor. The doctors tried to stop the labor, but it was all in vain – the medication wasn’t working. One labor pain came, then the second pain came and I was being rushed into the delivery room, begging and screaming at the doctor not to take my twins. It was too early!

Kim Kardashian Highlights Distinction Between Romance & Fantasy
The recent split between Kim and Kris Humphries has been scrutinized to death and Kim has been heavily, and unfairly criticize. The break-up happened because Kim Kardashian came to her senses and realized he wasn’t the catch she thought he was. Why does everyone fault her for that? Clearly, she wasn’t tricked into marriage, but she was living in fantasyland and ignoring, excusing, or reasoning Humphries for things that should have sent her packing soon after they met. You can fault her for that, but not if you understand that she didn’t realize she was forcing the square peg.

Colleges Must Improve Self-Defense Courses for Women
Many colleges offer self defense courses, especially for incoming freshmen, preparing young women with certain skills in physical self defense in case they are ever attacked. This is comforting to parents, but the reality is, their daughters are more likely to be mentally and emotionally intruded upon than attacked, and physical attack will more than likely come from someone they already know or are already in a relationship with~and it will come from someone who got to them mentally and emotionally first. Training in this first line of defense is missing, and desperately needed.

Brown didn’t like it one bit, and his body language spoke volumes when Roberts asked questions about a change in the restraining order against him.

***To Date A Beater or Not?
Any man who hits a woman is not a man who can be trained not to hit a woman; it is one of the lowest things a man can do. It cannot be undone, and it cannot be explained; he will not grow out of it or find someone whom he won’t abuse. His aggression speaks to his raw character and tells you all you need to know about him in one fell swoop. Men don’t hit women because they loose control, make a mistake, or because they were provoked. It is a choice they make every time it happens; it is about maintaining dominance. It is about their insecurity.

***Two Traits Destructive Men Look For
When dealing with a bad guy, your requests, desires, and feelings have to play second to other things in his life. In the beginning, he will put his new gal in low priority as a test of her willingness to bend to his wishes, to see if she will cut herself out at her own expense and pain. Destructive men simply need their women to be a certain way, and in their search for the ones who are highly sentimental and highly empathetic-two of the biggie traits he needs you to have, he will absolutely test you to see if you have these traits, and to see how accessible they are.

We tolerate more than we should from each other so that we can keep it together for the sake of the kids, yet they see us growing more distant and miserable each day, with no resolution or peace in sight. Our patterns of negative communication erode our sensitivity and compassion for each other, stunting our children’s emotional and communication development, yet there we stay, unwilling to face the truth that our marriage is a disaster.

Women who have been with destructive men often rush into new relationships before they have had time to process what happened, and before they understand what to do differently.

***Four Ways to Overcome Your Story
Women who are coming out of destructive relationships have been the most invisible women on the planet. We have been silent for a long time, our lives lacking normal, responsive, interactive, and respectful communication. When our silence finally breaks, however, we suddenly can’t be stopped. We unload stories and examples of what our life has been on anyone who will listen, barely in need of prompting.

***Divorcing Destruction: Think Straight and Think Strong
As women, we typically give, and want, more in relationships than men; we want nice homes and solid families, not just some roof over our heads and a bunch of people co-existing together--although that sure would be easier. Nope; we want constant connection; we want the fairy tale. We are driven to “nest” and we nurture conditionally, we just don’t admit that out loud-but women need to start honoring the conditions nature instilled, because it is women who carry the burden with the disadvantages when things head south.
