Today's Thought (s)

Never ever for the sake of peace and quiet deny your own experience.

Live the life you love.

As you get older, you really just want to be surrounded by good people; people who are good for you, good to you, and good for your soul.

#Me Too Can Be a Snowball to Hell


Sexual harassment is as old as the oldest profession, and we all should stand behind and support true victims; but you and I both know that some of these claims are downright lies, whether they be uttered for revenge, or for the sick and twisted reason that the woman is sick and twisted and this is her way of being "close" to a guy.
My question is this: When it's a he said - she said, how do you know who's telling the truth? I expect people to be truthful, but in such a situation, I want to be sure that I'm coming down on the side of right.
Alright, don't jump down my throat and say I'm victim blaming; I believe this is a subject worth being thought about with real seriousness. We don't want this to be a fad that shows up for a minute or two, then flows on down the river as so many other campaigns have done.
As a woman, feel empowered to claim your own space and your own body. If someone is doing or saying anything to make you feel uncomfortable, tell them to "back the f*** up" and mean it. Claim what is rightfully yours, and do so with no apology. You owe it to yourself to declare your worth. As Dr. Phil says, "you teach others how to treat you" (by what you accept).
For you men out there, if you need to, change your mindset; and if you're not sure if what you're doing or saying is appropriate, then restrain yourself. Yes, I know that some women give mixed signals, but you're a big boy and you can choose to be in charge of your behavior. Always choose to err on the side of caution.
