    1. Girl, you know how long it took me to keep doing the opposite of my gut to just confirm that my gut is always right!?!? It takes many a long time to realize that the gut serves as a protective factor and when it reacts that shouldn’t be disregarded. We pay attention to any other organ anytime it overreacts.

    I don’t do New Year’s Resolutions; they just set me up for failure. But this short and brilliant post is worth sharing. It’s intelligent, timely and witty. Be sure to click the link on number ten. I initially followed “You’re Just A Dumbass” because it includes one of my favorite words: dumbass. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

  14. Somewhere along the line someone came up with a saying– “Opposites attract.” As far as serious relationships go,I feel that sharing a lot of the SAME interests, whether pertinent to sex, religion, music, tv & movies, sports and recreation (to name a few) is what works the best. Many thanx for visiting my blog and have a wonderful day.

  16. I completely agree with you that who you date is a product of your self-esteem! It’s a whole lot easier to tolerate bad behavior from men when you don’t truly believe you deserve any better.

    1. Thanks so much! I really appreciate your support, feedback and insights! Too many people stay in unhealthy relationships and it shouldn’t be. We need to identify the aspects of ourselves that want healthy, but stay in unhealthy.

      Have a great weekend!
