John 3:16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”
I do read my bible but not near enough as I should.
Women who run with the wolves is a wonderful book for women to read!
Within every woman there lives a powerful force, filled with good instincts, passionate creativity, and ageless knowing. She is the Wild Woman, who represents the instinctual nature of women. But she is an endangered species. For though the gifts of wildish nature belong to us at birth, society’s attempt to “civilize” us into rigid roles has muffled the deep, life-giving messages of our own souls.
In Women Who Run with the Wolves, Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estés unfolds rich intercultural myths, fairy tales, folk tales, and stories, many from her own traditions, in order to help women reconnect with the fierce, healthy, visionary attributes of this instinctual nature. Through the stories and commentaries in this remarkable book, we retrieve, examine, love, and understand the Wild Woman, and hold her against our deep psyches as one who is both magic and medicine.
Dr. Estés has created a new lexicon for describing the female psyche. Fertile and life-giving, it is a psychology of women in the truest sense, a knowing of the soul.

“Blow, blow, thou winter wind”
BY WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE
Blow, blow, thou winter wind,
Thou art not so unkind
As man’s ingratitude;
Thy tooth is not so keen,
Because thou art not seen,
Although thy breath be rude.
Heigh-ho! sing, heigh-ho! unto the green holly:
Most friendship is feigning, most loving mere folly:
Then, heigh-ho, the holly!
This life is most jolly.
Freeze, freeze, thou bitter sky,
That dost not bite so nigh
As benefits forgot:
Though thou the waters warp,
Thy sting is not so sharp
As friend remembered not.
Heigh-ho! sing, heigh-ho! unto the green holly...

TURN OFF'S
Cruelty to animals.
Huge TURN OFFS People with terrible manners! Jealousy is a huge turn off for me! Rudeness.
In a quiet town, Maria, a young single mother, was struggling to make ends meet for herself and her young son, Leo. Life had thrown many challenges at her – her husband had left her when Leo was a child, and she had no financial support. With no higher education and a low-paying job at a local café, she often had to choose between paying the rent and putting food on the table.
Despite the hardships, Maria was determined to provide a better future for her son. Every night, after finishing her shift at the café, she would sit at her small kitchen table brainstorming ideas for a side business. She had always loved baking, and her homemade cookies were a favorite among her friends and neighbors. Then an idea came to her mind – what if she turned her passion for baking into a business?
With just $50 in savings, Maria purchased basic ingredients and began making her signature chocolate chip cookies. She packaged them neatly and went door-to-door in her neighborhood, giving out free samples and selling them at a minimal price. The response was overwhelmingly positive—people loved her cookies and began placing small orders.
Maria decided to expand her operation and began selling her work at the café where she worked. Soon, she expanded her business to local farmers markets and small grocery stores. But she didn’t stop there. She researched how to create an online presence and began marketing her cookies through social media. With engaging posts and customer praise, her brand began gaining popularity.
Maria’s breakthrough came when a well-known food blogger saw her cookies and shared them online. Overnight, she began receiving hundreds of orders from across the country. Realizing the potential, Maria made a bold move—she quit her café job and focused all her attention on growing her business. She rented a small commercial kitchen, hired a few employees, and struck a deal with a major supermarket chain.
Within five years, Maria’s small idea grew into a global brand, with her cookies sold in supermarkets and cafés around the world. She not only built a successful business, but also created a legacy of perseverance and hard work for her son.
The Message of the Story
Maria’s journey is a testament to the power of determination, hard work, and innovation. Despite having almost nothing, she believed in her skills, took risks, and adapted to opportunities. Her story reminds us that success is not about having the perfect circumstances, but about making the most of what we have and never giving up.
The lesson: No matter how difficult your circumstances, with persistence and creativity, you can turn a small idea into something life-changing. Like Maria, success starts with one step—believing in yourself and taking action.
People talk about caterpillars becoming butterflies
as though they just go into a cocoon, slap on wings, and are good to go. Caterpillars have to dissolve into a disgusting pile of goo to become butterflies . So if you're a mess wrapped up in blankets right now, Keep Going .
You're always there ready to be there for everyone else, but isn't time to be there for your self?
If you put as much effort into changing up for your self as you do for every one else ,your life would be happier .It's time you put your self first and when you do ,you will have more energy to help others. Have a wonderful new week ! Your a gift to the World! Love and Blessings...
