I was reading my earlier statement and wanted to add that my father was also a wonderful man, the best dad a girl could ask for. When i spoke of “having a man like that” i was referring to a boyfriend. Just wanted to add that to my comment. Looking forward to reading more of your topics. Love this website.

I mention in my Bio how supportive my family has been, even if I haven’t always chosen the path they would have chosen for me, and their support has made a huge difference in how confident I am in myself and the decisions that I’ve made. With regards to men, I haven’t touched on that subject yet in the blog but you can bet I’ve got plenty to say on the topic! Thanks Deb!

I am lucky enough to have a mother that inspires me, helps me along the way and cheers me on. Ideally it would be nice to have a man like that, but hey, i know better than that. LOL

This is so important — thanks for keeping us all mindful to look for inspiration, show gratitude, and give to others.

Very well said! Mentors aren’t easy to find and sometimes present themselves when we least expect it. We need to stay alert and present in all of our relationships so we don’t miss the opportunity to learn and grow.

I’m looking forward to your next blog post!

One of my fav. quotes comes to mind by Robert Burns- “O, that God the gift would give us to see ourselves as others see us.”

Belle, You are so right on the mark. I have been in that spot with no where to go or anyone to turn to, except for shear force of will. It is a good character builder because you are forced to take accountability for yourself, but it is a very lonely place to be. We are so lucky when we have someone who is willing to make a commitment to help guide us. It is a rare prize indeed when we have someone who believes in us unconditionally. When someone believes in you, it is a total confidence booster. Sometimes that is all a person needs. That being said, somebody doesn’t have to be committed to you in order for you to learn from them. Just keep your eyes and ears open. Do you want to see where you are going to be in five years? Look at who you are hanging around with right now…

You are also right about helping others. It is very difficult to get ahead in the world by yourself. The way to truely get ahead is by helping others in any way you can without expectation of anything in return. Trust me. It will come back to you in spades.
