Do you compare yourself to others? We as human beings, specifically women, tend to do this constantly, but many times when we do this it leads us down a detrimentally path of self-destruction.

Many of us dismiss our teenagers having friends, but what if there’s more to it. Friendships are extremely important, at all ages. The next time your teen says they need to spend time with their “bros” or their “gals,” let them and then you do the same!

There are many times when discrimination is evidence, but what about when it is directly attributed to your age?

Maybe we all need to be a little kinder when it comes to our discriminatory tinted glasses.

This week’s blog is about others who attack your light. Many do it out of their own insecurities and we make excuses for them. It’s time to stop! No one deserves that type of treatment because they are successful or in this example because they are nice.
