YES, YES,YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YES, is this word embedded in your vocabulary?  Do you find yourself saying this word all day?  This word can be a blessing and a curse.
   Ladies let's take a closer look at this ordeal.  Here's what a few respondents on Quora.com
 (Inc.com) had to say about the word Yes:

                 Response to the word "yes":

-People tend to feel you are a pushover with no boundaries.
- People don't trust you, because they think you're not sincere. They are spectacle and want to know the price for your kindness.
- People whom you attract may be the wrong type, and wish to cause you mischief.
- People may let you down due to not reciprocating your good deeds.
- People tend to demand your time as a consequence of your availability.

         Here's 5 pointers to turn it around:

#1 Identify who you are keeping company with
#2 Put yourself first. If faced with the choice, move yourself into self preservation mold.
#3 Take inventory:
- will saying yes help me or hurt me?
- what are the pros and cons for my Yes?
#4 Immediately remove yourself from a conversation or situation  that makes you feel uncomfortable, and puts you in a weak predicament.
 #5 Finally, look into the mirror and say: " let my Yes mean Yes and No mean No.

    Now ladies go out there and try these techniques, and stay true to another word "me"!

Well that's all for this week ladies
Strength, courage and wisdom; while looking and feeling fabulous😉

Hi Ladies!

                         Back to School

        So it's end of summer and time for the back to school routine. A routine filled with endless arduous tasks. Stacking up on supplies, maneuvering the hurdles in the apparel isles, getting the kids back on track, and last but not least, battling the added road and school zone traffic.  Only to come home to the never- ending To-Do list!

                          Delegate

       Ladies I have one word for you: DELEGATE, and then retreat. Yes that's right, grab a helping hand. I have managed this by seeking out whom I could recruit for my various tasks.

              Here's how my list looks:

- Make Breakfast 3 days a week: Hubby/son

-Dishes 3 nights a week: Hubby/son

-Laundry and groceries- alternate w/Hubby

-Cleaning- assign as needed

    With the extra time your saving, you have          just allowed yourself time for this list:

- An evening soak in a bubble bath

-Deep hair conditioner

-Facial with a body scrub

- Curling up into a mysterious book

        Now that's a list worth savoring moments for.  So try using these tips to steal some time. The little moments you give to yourself will make you more enjoyable and interesting to be around! 

Note: single moms: ask a relative, friend or neighbor to look after the kids for a couple hours.  Use this time for your retreat .

Good day😊
