Positive changes

It is always important to make a positive change in your life. Whether it may be a small change as in losing a few pounds or taking a class to enhance your career. Each day brings a new opportunity to make a positive change. We forget about making a change from within because of how busy our schedules are, we focus on the present and not look toward the future. If you love soda but it does not love you, then slowly stop drinking it. The same thing goes for vices that you wanted to give up in your life. Take one step at a time and you will see the positive changes that take place. There are many areas that we can change within ourselves. Focus on making that change and you will not be sorry. Everyday is an opportunity to start anew. Everyone deserves a fresh start. Make today the first day to a whole new you!

There are many women that have children and prefer the wild life as well. They leave their children with a babysitter they may or may not know. Then there are parents that do not have a choice in the matter. They have no support, no family and no help to raise their child. One might say, why did you have a child in the first place? One woman responded to that question by saying that she wanted to give someone love because no one loved her. Parenting is not an easy thing.

It only takes one time

It only takes one time for an abuser to hit you. It only takes one time for an abuser to verbally abuse you. It only takes one time for an abuser to slap, stab or shoot you. Don’t talk yourself into” Oh this is the only time it has happened. It won’t happen again.” Get out while you can or it may be too late. Sometimes the abuse can be mental and those scars do not heal easily It could take years for them to go away. If children are involved, remember they understand everything but don’t compute it the way an adult would. It is very scary for a child to not know what is going on.
