In my corporate career, I was repeatedly told that I was “too direct” and “too assertive.”In my dating life, I was repeatedly told that I was “too tall” and “too opinionated.”For much of my life, it seemed like I was always too much of somethin
In defining inertia, Isaac Newton said an object in a state of motion or rest will remain so until a greater force acts against it.Some single women are in a state of rest – they need to take a minute to recover, replenish, and rejuvenate after
Many times in life, we state that we desire something. For example, to marry someday.And yet, if we were to examine our life more closely, we might find that our behaviors are contrary to our desires. That our actions aren’t aligned with our th
“Best not let him see what kind of car I drive; he might feel intimidated.”“Best not let him see what kind of house I live in; he might feel emasculated.”“Best not let him know how much money I make; he might feel irrelevant.”“Best not let him

It’s a question practically every single woman has entertained at some point in her life: “Why are you still single?” Whether from family, friends, or even strangers, the question can sometimes result in frustration and exasperation, especially

Proverbs 18:21 says, “Life and death are in the power of the tongue.” That means we can’t afford to be careless with our words. We can’t afford to not know the context or meaning of the words we choose to use. Because they have the ability to e
