BEWARE: The Love Bomber
Updated: Mar 13, 2021
The term "love bomber" can be used in many different contexts, from a tactic used by cults and gangs to naming a technique used by parents to help their troubled children. If you google the term “love bombing” you will be faced with an infinite list of blogs and websites providing an explanation of how to spot the traits of this narcissistic and abusive behaviour when it comes to love. From my experience of once being a love-bombee and the research I have carried out over the last couple of months, I have found that love bombing in a romantic sense can come in a few different forms; it’s more complex than just being a narcissistic trait.
Many men and women have experienced a similar situation to mine: their love bomber swept them off their feet, put them on a pedestal, made them feel special, told them “they had never felt like this before”, paid them constant attention and made gestures which seemed to align with all they were telling them….and then just when you start to believe you may have met your soulmate, they very quickly change their behaviour and leave you feeling deflated, confused, embarrassed and rejected.
Here, I am going to tell you what to look out for and how to avoid being love bombed, but also to be considerate of what is happening on the other side of that behaviour. Although being the victim feels far worse than being the perpetrator, I personally feel sorry for those who feel they need to love bomb, or better still, are addicted to love bombing. There is a much more deep-rooted issue going on here which I can empathise with.
Five signs that you’ve been or are a victim of love bombing:
1. They make claims of you being their “soulmate” early on.
Let’s be honest, it’s incredibly exciting when you meet someone who ticks all of those boxes or seems to have everything in common with you. There’s that initial excitement of meeting someone who makes you feel all fuzzy and giddy; even the most level headed of people can find themselves not able to think clearly because of this new person who just popped up out of nowhere. But as we are being honest, let’s also be realistic and point out that it takes a long time to get to truly know someone. So, if someone is telling you that you are their soulmate after a few hours, days or weeks, you should keep your wits about you and try not to hang on those words. I will go into this more later.
2. Their compliments are over the top
Yes, when you first meet someone you can expect them to be complimenting you. This is totally normal; everyone does it. But be careful when someone is telling you things such as:
“I’ve never met anyone as perfect as you.”
“I’ve never wanted a relationship or marriage, but you have made me rethink that”
“I’ve never wanted to spend as much time with someone before this”
“I always felt alone and like I was happy being this way until I met you”
It’s likely they have said this before to another person and it's very likely you won't be the last person they say it to. Don’t get me wrong, I do believe that love at first sight can exist and that people can meet and just know that they have met “the one”, but just like I said in point number one, it takes a long time to truly get to know someone.
3. They have talked about another person in their life before they met you who is “crazy about them” or “got the wrong idea”.
This one is significant and the one I wish I had paid attention to the most. If your new found love interest is telling you that someone they were previously dating has fallen for them or got the wrong end of the stick from their brief interaction, it’s likely that person was their last victim. They may not be talking negatively about this person and their explanation may seem like it’s from a place of sympathy, or even regret. You may even start to feel sorry for this person who is clearly heartbroken because they thought they had met their match…. Well, you could be that person in just a few weeks. This could be a huge warning sign that your new love interest has a tendency to lead people on and give them false pretences.
4. They make big gestures or suggestions but then don't show up.
You may find yourself in a whirlwind romance, a type you’ve never felt before and one you never want to end. It’s all so exciting and the possibilities are endless! Your new lover may be suggesting future plans or exciting meetups which swap and change quite regularly and often do not materialise into anything. “We should do this together, on this weekend” or “next month, let's meet up and do this” or “I want to do this, and I only want to do it with you”... But then when it comes to it, something comes up, plans change and what was suggested is not talked about ever again. Obviously, plans can change and situations come up which may need to be prioritised in life, but if you notice a pattern of not showing up or not being a person of their word - keep yourself in check as this could be a sign of things to come. If, like me, you try to remain a person of your word, you will end up frustrated and deflated by this constant feeling of being let down.
5. Things start to fall apart very quickly
They do say what goes up, must come down. You will be coming down faster than the SpaceX Starship prototype rocket if your new lover is a love bomber. Once a love bomber has successfully gained your undivided attention, as if overnight, you may notice their behaviour changes; their contact drops, they seem to be a lot more distracted, they are no longer complimenting you, those future plans they were so keen to make have now changed … but much worse, they may even ghost you. You may be left feeling like you’ve done something wrong, you’ve messed up somewhere, or you were “too much” for them (even though they have been the one coming in hot).
You will likely feel a bit embarrassed for feeling so upset over someone you have fallen for, after such a short time of meeting them. You might feel like you cant talk to your friends about it because they will point out that it’s only been a short time. Your friends may have even warned you to watch out because your lover’s behaviour was raising flags to them from the start. And you will definitely be in denial that you have fallen hook, line and sinker for a person who had no intention of sticking around.
So what’s happening from the other side? Why do love bombers exist? What goes through a person's mind for them to be able to do this to people? Well, I did some research and it’s more complex than I first thought. Here is what I found out....
They genuinely believe they feel that way
I spoke to both men and women who admitted their love bombing tendencies as well as those on the receiving end of it. Many people didn't even realise there was a word or term for this behaviour. Some simply believed that they fell in and out of love easily - very easily; they get excited and jump straight in with both feet and feel that their feelings fade naturally. Others stated that they were fully aware of their behaviour and admitted they don't know how to stop. When looking back at past relationships, they can see their pattern of going from keen and ambitious about the relationship to disinterested, detached and losing that fire in their stomach that they once genuinely felt. Often putting it down to the spark just disappearing or issues arising too soon in the relationship, leaving them to walk away, as not working through the interpersonal issues appeals more to them than enduring the hurt of a break up further down the line.
Rose tinted glasses
No human walks this planet flawless or perfect, but we do tend to view people in a positive and faultless way when we first meet them and especially when we are falling for them. We create our own version of that person in our mind and when they don't turn out to be exactly what we expected, we start identifying those as flaws and faults. This is human nature. Unfortunately, some people can go overboard on that initial projection and become over the top with their attention and affection. Simply put: there could be nothing more to it than the person viewing you through rose tinted glasses; their own projections creating a distorted and flawless view of you. They may then start to see you as a flawed individual and feel deceived. Hence why the contact or attention drops and you are left emotionally plummeting. In this situation, often the intention is never to hurt but only to fulfil their own need.
Historical, childhood or relationship trauma
For me, I feel this is probably the most likely reason for someone to act this way. I believe that people who love bomb regularly have insecurities and low self-esteem which are likely stemmed from previous traumatic or painful experiences. They feel a need for intense and heightened romantic emotions to fulfil something they have once lost or never had. Often, they genuinely do want love but sabotage it through fear of being hurt. From my research, this appears to be the case for many love bombers. Some self-proclaimed love bombers told me that they notice this mental instability within themselves and can sometimes feel their self-sabotaging behaviour making its way into their relationship with someone they genuinely do see as a potential partner. They really do see this person as special and want them in their life, but they lack trust and they are terrified of being hurt, abandoned and rejected so they ruin the relationship to prevent this from happening to them first.
Search the internet and you will see this to be the most prominent reason for love boming. You will notice there are pages upon pages of explanations of narcissistic love bombing. Narcissists are charming, clever, confident and charismatic. They have a strong need for admiration and are great at manipulating to get their own way. They do not like losing or abandonment. They make grandiose gestures and love to show off; you could even say they like a challenge and will make these grandiose gestures to win you over if you are not falling for their words alone. You may feel as though you are too switched on and couldn't possibly be fooled by a love bomber? Wrong. Anything is possible. Consistency is key when it comes to them winning you over and the moment your guard goes down, the narcissist will start devaluing you. The contact drops, the excitement fades, the positions change and your new lover may even start to be negative towards you, picking your faults and making their opinion of you heard. I wouldn't wish this type of love bomber on anyone. At least with the other types of love bombing, it’s possible to understand that any human could get wrapped up and act in this way… but with a narcissistic love bomber, their intentions aren't good from the start.
Let’s get real...
So, how can you avoid being hurt by a love bomber? Apart from what I have mentioned above, there are certain things you need to become more aware of or reiterate to yourself when you discover yourself in a situation like this :
Pedestals are dangerous - you can fall off and hurt yourself! Also, once you have painfully fallen off that pedestal, trying to get back on it is a world of hurt and confusion. You will constantly question your worth, you will continue to wonder what YOU did wrong and you may even try to change parts of yourself. Pieces of yourself that make you, you. If you’re not careful it can also rip away any confidence you have and affect your view of yourself, your future romances and give you a distorted view on how a relationship should be.
Apologies to the fairytale lovers out there… I may be about to burst your bubble! Life is not a fairytale and neither is love. Let’s thank the likes of Disney and growing up with rom-coms for our distorted view on how relationships actually work; creating unrealistic expectations and skewed perceptions of what relationships are supposed to look like. Real relationships in the real world do not involve handsome men in shining armour, instant soul mates, castles or living happily ever after. True love is hard work, sometimes painful, takes a lot of figuring out together and most certainly isn't all unicorns and rainbows.
Real love takes time! If someone is telling you that they think you are their soulmate after a few days, weeks or months then you probably need to run. To know if someone is your soulmate, you accept them for all that they are; all their flaws, all their habits, all your disagreements, their past, their present and their future. You don't want to change a single bit of them. In order to find out all of the above, you must take time and build this knowledge of one another together. There’s no way you can truly know someone after a small amount of time. Even if you spend every day together for months on end, this is still a period of time where you are getting to know one another and are still showing only the best sides of yourself to one another. You must also endure situations together which test and strain your relationship; soulmates make it through these problems together. How can someone be your soulmate if you have no idea how you will deal with or handle these troubling times together?
If you have been on the receiving end of a love bombing situation, I know it was or is painful, I know the truth hurts, and I know you may still be in denial about being fooled. But take something positive away from the experience, whatever that might be. For me, I walked away feeling embarrassed, I questioned by worth, I questioned my intuition and my ability to spot bullshit - something I definitely used to pride myself on. It forced me to reevaluate what is realistic and what is fantasy built up in our minds. I now reach more realistic outcomes through having much more realistic expectations.

"You should have learned."
"I don’t learn. One of my issues."
"You’re wrong about us being on different paths. We’re not on different paths. You’re my path. And you’re always gonna be my path.”


*Channeled Message from Spirit" (In the raw words of the Spirit)
"You see, you don’t come from the source itself, rather you are source itself.
There is no separation between you & Creator.
If there shall be a disconnect from the Spirit of God, it is rooted from a separation of the self; passion, love, happiness. Even as many of you might drift away into the depths of a stormy sea, a true separation is not possible. For even in the darkness you are still home.
The winds in the sky cannot overcome the sky, The waters in the sea cannot overcome the sea, just as your darkness cannot overcome your light.
It is all one in the same - a duality. One cannot exist without the other, you see this? You are everything & everything is you.
The tree & mountains you admire are but another example of you; your beauty, your presence, your impact. You are your children, you are your partner, you are your enemy.
Love them like I love you. Love them like you love you. Because you loving them, is you loving you. This is how God loves. Unconditionally. The love that knows no bounds.
When you feel anger, look to the earth; When you feel sad, look to the moon, when you feel lost, look to yourself, your heart, your soul.
It is within you, that you may find God. God the source of wisdom, grace, love. This is so freely given to you. For you.
The love that knows no bounds.
So, my friend, the next time someone tells you you’re beautiful…….tell them “I am you.”

"The times, they are a-changin'" says a famous Bob Dylan song. This is definitely true regarding family units. Fewer couples resemble the Ward-and-June-Cleaver model. More and more people, as they begin the path of estate planning, are married to a second, third or subsequent spouse. A careful plan can help ensure that you leave that spouse the legacy you intended.
Planning for a second spouse can be more complicated than a first spouse. If you and your spouse married later in life, a greater possibility exists that you each brought your own assets and wealth to the marriage. In addition, you may desire to leave that wealth to your own children from a previous marriage. In some cases, both parties are well off, and do not need anything from the other. Alternately, your spouse may have more limited means and a need for assistance if he/she is widowed.
Regardless of your spouse's financial condition, state laws exist to prevent individuals from entirely disinheriting their spouses. Wisconsin is a "community property" state, meaning that your spouse automatically has a right to 50% the earnings accumulated by either of you during the marriage (unless there is a written marital property agreement or "prenuptial").
Another concern for some second marriages involved a desire to care for a new spouse, but not for his/her children from a previous marriage. In the past, some individuals established estate plans that placed assets in a trust for the benefit of the spouse. The trustee distributed assets to the spouse during his/her lifetime and then, after that spouse died, the trustee distributed the remaining assets to the trust creator's natural children.
If you and your spouse agree to such a trust arrangement, or agree that he/she will receive nothing (or very little of monetary value) from your estate when you die, it is important to obtain your spouse's consent in writing. A prenuptial or postnuptial agreement can be effective at documenting this consent.

I wanted to explore the conditions of a happy and harmonious human relationship. As the title indicates, we are happier together than being alone. We should be transparent with each other, each of us being filled with light and joy of our own without leaning or imposing too much on others. Relationships are fragile as expressed by the two glass objects and a mirror in this painting.

Some couples have serious issues with constantly arguing in a relationship. In many cases, fighting happens so often that it becomes a type of bad habit in the relationship, happening ridiculously frequently. Though it is sometimes hard to break that habit, just as it is with any habit, this type of interaction needs to cease. There are several reasons that this is a very unhealthy way to live. Firstly, this type of consistent fighting can lead to harsh words and feelings, and even violence. It makes friends and loved ones very uncomfortable around you, and it can ultimately cause a break up in the relationship.
The first nasty result of constant fighting and arguing in a relationship is that there are harsh words said that cause harsh feelings. Saying, I'm sorry, is often not enough of a band-aid for some people. Many times, when people are angry at each other, even if they care a great deal for each other, they say things that they later regret and, at the time, do not even mean. Even if the argument is over and all is forgiven, this type of harshness sometimes hangs over into the relationship far after the altercation is over. Another thing these types of arguments can lead to is physical violence from either party. This is definitely a place you do not want this arguing to escalate to.
Another thing that can happen if you happen to argue with each other in the company of other people is that people will no longer wish to be around you as a couple. Having someone argue in front of you makes for a very uncomfortable situation. If this happens on such a regular basis that you become known for it, people will begin to decline social invitations, and may begin to avoid you both all together. Being known for constantly bickering is not a good way to be remembered by friends.
One final bad result of arguing all the time with your mate is probably the most obvious. Eventually, the arguing will become tiresome and too hurtful to bear. When this happens, it ultimately could lead to the break up of the relationship. Though at the time, breaking up may be the desirable alternative to consistent bickering, it is probably not the ultimate desire when the relationship first started. If you can find a way to get past the things that have been said before and forgive, you may be able to keep the relationship from falling apart.
The negative effects of constantly arguing in a relationship are not just on you and your spouse, though those are enough. Negative effects include harsh words and hurt feelings, sometimes escalating to violence, making others uncomfortable around the both of you, and breaking up. While these are all devastating effects to the couple itself, it is also devastating to those who are around and care for the couple as well. This type of conflict in a relationship is so negative and unhealthy, and if it is possible to resolve, it should be for the sake of the relationship.About Author:Thomas writes articles for singles looking for the online dating services with personal ads.


Sexual predators online dating statistics
The 2016 Pew Research Center's survey reveals that the usage of online dating sites by American adults increased from 9% in 2013, to 12% in 2015.Further, during this period, the usage among 18- to 24-year-olds tripled, while that among 55- to 65-year-olds doubled.
Under this metaphor, members of a given service can both "shop" for potential relationship partners and "sell" themselves in hopes of finding a successful match.
Most services also encourage members to add photos or videos to their profile.
Once a profile has been created, members can view the profiles of other members of the service, using the visible profile information to decide whether or not to initiate contact.
You can also search for sentences and phrases online, in case they are using a known fake profile.

All relationships rests on these three things: accepting, supporting and challenging.
Relationships should be grounded in accepting each other “as is.” Supporting each other through ups and downs. And challenging each other to become more, to grow, and to flourish.

I just have to say that I am blessed with so many people in my life...my Granny, who is always doing things for me. My mom who is always doing things too...who I talk to almost every single day!
My in-laws...My mother-in-law who is always helping me with my kids, and anything else I ask her to do (sometimes crazy stuff, LOL!). My father-in-law who is always building stuff I think up!
My husband, who puts up with me, and does lots of things for me too. Who helps with the kids so I can do whatever I can think up...like getting a Masters degree, or principal certification.
I love you all!


There has been a lot of talk about marriage going around Besh’s preschool class. Each week, he tells us who is going to marry. The same girls are always at the top of his list but they rotate. Apparently, some of the girls are also talking about getting married at home. When Besh told me her wanted a playdate with a particular girl because he was going to marry her, it occurred to me for the first time to get his take on marriage. The following was our conversation:
Me: Besh, what does it mean to be married?
Besh: It means you stay together. You stay together forever.
M: What do you do when you’re married?
B: You build houses and farms and stores. And houses.
M: But, Daddy and I are married and we don’t build houses and farms and stores.
B: Well, I will. If Liah marries me, I will build houses and farms and stores and houses with her.
M: How do you feel about the person you are married to (forgive the bad grammar here, I was just into the conversation. Also, I haven’t slept in four months!)?
B: Excited. You are excited and sometimes you clap your hands and say, “Yay!”
M: Do you think I’m excited when I see Daddy?
B: Yes. You are.
M: How old do you think you have to be to get married?
B: 12 or 13.
M: How old do you think Mommy was when I married Daddy?
M: How old do you think Daddy was when we got married?
At this point, Besh was clearly done with the conversation. But, I have to remember to ask him questions like this more often. Because the answers are so entertaining!


Email Exchange Yesterday 4:55
Stoner: Hey, how’s your day going?
Me: I’m bored. Tell me something interesting. What have you been doing?
Stoner: I watched Homes Under The Hammer. Made a bacon sandwich. Watched Frasier. Then Everybody Loves Raymond. Then Come Dine With Me. Oh and I think I’m in love 😀
Me: In love? With who? Tell me everything! 😀
Stoner: I went out with this girl last night. Just to a bar. She’s something else. We spent the whole night chatting up other girls. Then we went back to hers and I fucked her.
Me: Chatted up girls?
Stoner: Yeah. I got there a little early and started talking to a couple of girls. She came and joined me and did the same. It was crazy. Like she was using them to turn me on. She brushed this blond girls hair out of her eyes and said “you have the most beautiful eyes” then she looked straight at me. It was like she was saying “imagine me and this girl doing it.” She kept doing it, so i did it. I started chatting up girls and giving her the same vibe. I swear, when we left we were so turned on.
Me: How do you know this girl?
Stoner: She’s a cousin of this guy I went to uni with. She came out to his birthday thing on friday.
Me: A cousin? Or an escort?? Did you check your wallet?
Stoner: Hey. Don’t diss my future wife!
Me: Did you even talk to her? Get to know her?
Stoner: Well we’re seeing each other again. You know me, I like to take things slow.
Me: LMAO!! Slow?? Seriously?
Stoner: She’s french. In france they’re a little more attuned to their sexual side. The have affairs and shit.
Me: No they don’t! Where does it say that?
Stoner: It’s common knowledge.
Me: Seriously, they don’t! So you’d be cool if your girl kept multiple lovers?
Stoner: Hell no! I’m just saying, the french are like genetically more into exploring sex. Nothing wrong with it.
Me: Ok. If you want to be in love with a girl that uses other girls to turn on a guy she barely knows then that’s your choice.
Stoner: Who said I was in love?
Me: You did! Read back! Plus you called her your future wife!
Stoner: Ok I got a bit carried away. But seriously Elise. You need to meet this girl. She’s gorgeous!
Me: Not sure if I want to meet her yet. I’ll wait until she stops getting off on girls to get you to get off on her getting off girls.
Stoner: Yeah, actually it’s probably best you don’t meet her yet. I don’t know if I’m ready to have you in the fantasy. No offense.
Me: None taken. I don’t want to be in your fantasy 😐
Stoner: Crap. Now you two are in my head! :O
Me: Ew, stop it!:O :O :O
Stoner: I’m joking 😀 I’m still thinking about her and the blond. And me. And her. Man, I can’t wait to see her!


Divorce is the process of ending the marital relationship. In most cases, divorce requires the court’s intervention as to the legal proceedings, such as the children’s custody and the alimony of all kinds, whether for the wife, such as the alimony or iddah support or children’s support, in addition to the visitation of the children by the father or mother and the like.
Khul' (Abdicative Divorce)
Khul’ is the wife’s separation from her husband for compensation taken by the husband from the wife or from the others in specific terms/words. The husband cannot be back to her wife, as the khul’ is a kind of marriage termination due to the discord on the part of the wife, provided that the wife ransoms herself with money she pays to her husband with whom she hated to stay, and she was afraid-because of such hatred-of non-fulfilling her husband’s right imposed by Allah (God) on her; therefore, her husband accepts to divorce her upon her request in exchange for such compensation she pays to him.
Why should I consult the best lawyer/legal consultant before registering or filing the divorce or khul’ lawsuit?
In most cases, the principal’s information about the difference between divorce and khul’ and their effects are inaccurate or incomplete-and in many cases, some thinks that the difference between both of them is only the time of hearing the lawsuit before the court.
We have come across many cases who obtain their information in this kind of lawsuits from their friends or relatives who have gone through similar experiences or heard information from their relatives or companions, but in fact, the matter is quite different, as the difference between divorce and khul’ and the effects of each one them differ. Hence, the legal consultancy must be obtained from the best lawyer/legal consultant before taking the decision of registering/filing the divorce or khul’ lawsuit, so that you can identify the full effects resulted for or against you, for your decision to be precise and serves your interests in the first place and to get the best results that you expect from the lawsuit and the lawyer.

Baba, Ricardo and Elumalai, Sunmuglvadivu (2011) Entrepreneurial orientation of SMEs in Labuan and its effects on performance. Working Paper. Faculty of Economics and Business.
Download (127kB) | Preview
Entrepreneurial orientation (EO) has been defined as the measure of firm level entrepreneurship. EO has been linked with organizational performance, whereby the higher the EO, the higher the level of performance. The EO is deemed as a multidimensional construct encompassing five dimensions e.g. autonomy, risk taking, innovation, pro-activeness, and competitive aggressiveness. Thus this study investigates the relationship between EO dimension and organizational performance indicators e.g. product performance, customer performance and sales growth among SMEs in Labuan. A total of 101 SMEs were selected and these establishments were involved in service related business, retail business and also wholesale. The study concludes that risk taking, innovation, pro-activeness and competitive aggressiveness have significant positive relationship with organizational performance. Meanwhile no relationship is found between autonomy and SME performance. Finally based on the various strength of relationship exhibited by the EO dimensions, this study also concludes that EO is a multidimensional construct and that these dimensions vary independently.

I’d like to transfer some money to this account lidocaine prix maroc I have often thought for myself that a relationship isn’t tested in the crises or constant demands, but rather, it is tested in the quiet of life. How do you both do just sitting quietly together, whether in prayer or reading or listening to music? Is it peaceful and fulfilling, or are you looking for some activity to distract you from the calm? I believe every couple should spend regular time together away from the hustle and bustle and reconnect to their shared values and center. And if that is a problem, then there probably is a problem in the relationship.


The Grey Watches
Lynette is Orianna’s handmaiden and closest friend. She is an open and friendly girl who is still enamored of tales of bold knights and adventure. Her dreamy and romantic world view is a counter point to the practical Orianna. She is at war with her desire to please her mother and be a dutiful daughter and her playful, risk-taking streak. She is alternately a good influence on the sometimes dour Orianna, or a frightening influence due to her somewhat reckless, romantic views.


(Movie - 2003) Freaky Friday, directed by: Mark Waters
(Reaction) In Someone Else's Shoes (Literally) by: Jara Lucero
It's quite unimaginable to try picturing what it would be like to be someone else - much more living the life of probably one of your greatest friend and enemy - your parent or your child. How could you possibly deal with something you're not ready for (motherhood or fatherhood) or something you've moved past and matured from (adolescence)? With so many differences between the two (the so-called
generation gap), living their life and trying to understand their ways could most definitely be freaky.
Freak Friday, first and foremost, focused on the rocky relationship and growing disparity between Tess (Curtis), the mother, and her daughter Anna (Lohan). Freaky Friday concentrated on how the two dealt with each others' lives since they were often found arguing because of their clashing interests, ideas and manners. Tess and Anna both think that their life is more difficult and problematic compared to the other.
The sudden switch of bodies, the main event of the film, made the two realize what the other person values and what each of them cope with on a day-to-day basis. However, this event posed instability in the family at the beginning rendering an unpredictable environment for the Colemans. Since they are living another person's life, the feedback became somewhat shaky and unclear for both of them. Where does this uneasy and unwelcoming attitude towards the situation come from? Both characters obviously have dissimilar values that become the root of their inconsistent bond as mother and daughter.
The mother obviously thinks that her child is too preoccupied with unimportant matters and wastes her time with her band and her peers. The daughter, in contrary, believes that her mother has become negligent and has failed to understand her as a teenager. They have created biased comparisons of their own personal problems in relation to the problem of the other party and it's unfair to look at it this way because each of them has a different predicament to deal with. The magnitude of the problem the daughter may encounter may not have the same effect on the mother because Anna has different issues and concerns at her age, and the same holds true for Tess and the problems she has to face.
Each of them has the tendency to downsize what the other one is going through because of the generation gap, bearing a difference in what the other person values at that certain age. For Tess, who has moved past the stage of teenybopper issues and the like, her family and the stability of her family is her utmost concern. On the other hand, Anna, a teenager who is still at that point where she needs to make the most out of her youth being experimental and trying to venture into early independence, believes that her peers and her social life must not be tied down to what her mother wants her to do. The clear cut difference in priorities and in values, therefore, results in a riff between the two.
After switching bodies, they themselves have recognized how different they are from one another and how the lives they both live may have been greatly misunderstood by the other. Both characters learned how unique they are from each other, and how this uniqueness makes them appreciate their individuality. The experiences they went through being each other helped them pick up a couple of lessons on how understand and be aware of each other's lives and how to keep the family together during a difficult predicament, because after all, it's the family that truly matters.
Freaky Friday is probably one of the most entertaining movies I've seen Lindsay Lohan in and her on-screen dynamic with Jamie Lee-Curtis was nothing but amazing. The movie had the right kind of spunk that I found very appealing. However, more than that, Freaky Friday had this subtle impact on me since I could relate to the little misunderstandings and arguments that Tess and Anna encountered and how these should not shape the entire mother-daughter relationship. Moreover, not having a mother (physically) present for quite a number of years while growing up made me realize that those limited moments I get to spend with her must not be taken for granted. The movie made me see that it doesn't have to take a
body-switching mishap to know how much my mother has sacrificed for the welfare of the family she loves.

“You Monkey! You Idiot! I Love You!”
A guide to using romantic language in Japan
Call someone a monkey or an idiot in Japan and they might be rather pleased – provided you use the term in an affectionate way.
The Japanese are creative with the language of love – although some phrases look puzzling if they’re translated too literally into English.
Other words of love suggest high drama – such as an invitation to enter the family tomb!
This week, the Japan Story blog gets into a romantic mood and considers how to woo a partner in a foreign tongue.


I believe that strong customer engagement requires the ability to build trust based relationships with customers through delivering on managed expectations. This is basically a lot of words for saying that I believe you need to “walk the talk”. For me the building of the relationship must have its foundation in the trust that I will let the customer know what I intend to do for them and then doing it.
In doing research for this blog post, I came across an interesting description of trust developed by Dr. Duane C Tway http://www.trustdoctorconsulting.com/. In his work on improving organizational management, he describes trust as having three dimensions: The capacity for trust, the perception of competence and the perception of intent.
The capacity of the customer to trust us is something that we can only influence, rather than control. And as most items where influence is required, is built up over time from a history of previous successes. To understand our customer’s capacity for trust requires listening to the viewpoint of our customers. This is why social trends are effective in business because they open a channel for us to listen to our customers. Understanding where our customers are coming from can help us cater for their concerns and help build their ability to trust us.
Competence and the ability to shape the perception of our competence is something we can activity work on. The perception comes out of our outgoing marketing efforts. This blog for example, is my attempt to showcase my capabilities in my field. Companies need to invest in the quality of their products – balancing need to meet a market window with need to build a solid reputation. And is why beta programs are usually only open to our customers that we have strong relationships with and we can be open about beta quality concerns.
Intention stems from open and honest communication with our customers. It is being authentic and clear. Setting the expectation appropriately about what we will be providing to them and when. And having this told as a consistent message across all parts of the organization that deal with the customer. It may mean letting the customer know our limitations. Some of my strongest relationships have been built by being clear about issues and problems, and my capacity to deal with them.
So a reframing of my opening statement, considering this explanation of trust, strong customer engagement comes from understanding our customer’s concerns (their capacity), being clear and open about how we can help them (intention), and then providing a quality product or service (competence).

24/7 Dad® Program
At a time when 1 in 3 children live in father-absent homes, REACHUP, Inc., funded by the Children’s Board of Hillsborough County, is delighted to help dads in our community (zip codes 33602, 33603, 33605, 33607 and 33610) have healthy relationships with their children, whether they live in or outside the home, using the 24/7 Dad® Program.
The 24/7 Dad® Program, created by The National Fatherhood Initiative (NFI), is a comprehensive fatherhood program with innovative tools, strategies, and exercises for fathers of all races, religions, cultures, and backgrounds!
Developed by fathering and parenting experts, the 24/7 Dad® Program focuses on the characteristics men need to be involved fathers 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. This community-based program helps men develop the attitudes, knowledge, and skills they need to get — and stay — involved with their children. 24/7 Dad® focuses on key fathering characteristics, like communication, working with mom and co-parenting, discipline and work/family balance, and helps men evaluate their own parenting skills, as well as their fathering role models
The AFC affirms and encourages men to continue in their willingness and commitment to make a difference in their child’s life. Additionally, the Conference acknowledges and supports the fathers who have displaced their roles as fathers, mentoring and strengthening them until they know their value and become good fathers.
Over the past six years, the uniqueness of the AFC and its focus on reversing the negative perspective of fatherhood have been applauded and celebrated by participants. The AFC brings local, regional and national speakers to make presentations and lead conference participants in engaging discussions, workshops and fun activities. Because sports are important to most men, the conference uses a sports theme as the backdrop with the attendees wearing their favorite sports attire.
The AFC message is targeted to fathers, staff providing services to fathers and their families, researchers, policymakers and advocates as well as anyone interested in learning more about and supporting the positive results of fathering.
For more information, contact Dr. Deborah Austin, firstname.lastname@example.org (813) 712-6302.
Vision: To see men made whole through healthy mentor relationship with other men.
Mission: To bring men together representing three generations to share common challenges and opportunities for the development of strategies that lead to positive personal growth and change.
Model: Through mentoring we bring men together to see each other grow through relationship development.
We meet once a month, alternating between a skills training and a group activity. Call for a schedule of activities.

This isn't my normal kind of post, not that I really have a regular type of post. Shit, I haven't even updated this thing in 2 months, but it's screaming in my head to come out. I'll probably delete it later, but I thought I'd get it out for now. The holidays suck for me normally, but this year, they seem to suck a tidge more. I'm really hoping this malaise doesn't last until January.
I don’t know why I still love him. He’s a shit person. He never really loved me and he subtly (and sometimes, not so subtly), never let me forget it. He made me feel bad about myself without ever saying a word. He was killing time with me and I knew it. I wanted it to be different, but it wasn’t and it never would be. And yet, I still love him. I still miss him. I still want him back. What the fuck is wrong with me that I would want that? What is wrong with me that I miss someone I never had? 4 years together, but I never really had him.
He didn’t abuse me. He wasn't mean. He didn't yell. He didn’t mistreat me. He just kept me at arms length. He just didn't love me.
I still dream about him. In fact, more now than I did when we were together and more now than I did when he first left. The dreams are usually the same. I can smell him; his shampoo and deodorant and soap, the slight hint of cigarette smoke. Usually, he apologizes to me. Usually, I forgive him. I always touch his hair. Doesn’t matter if it even fits in the dream, I always manage to touch his hair. One time, he wrapped his arms around me and buried his face in the back of my neck, fingers laced with mine and he said he was sorry. He told me he missed me. He said all the things I wanted to hear for so long. I woke up crying and I could still smell him. And feel his breath on my neck. And I missed him. GOD, I missed him.
Most days I’m fine. It’s been 8 months; I should hope I’d mostly be fine by now! But some days, especially this time of year, are harder than others. I miss cooking for us. I miss buying frilly lingerie to entice him. I miss him fixing my car or taking out the trash or just changing a light bulb for me and then teasing me about being so short. I miss him burning CDs for me and I miss buying him his favorite movies and eating 4 different kinds of ice cream, because we couldn't pick just one, while we watched them together. I miss his sarcastic and hilarious texts. I miss feeling his hand on my hip.
There’s so much I don’t miss. SOOO much. But sometimes, like tonight, I just miss his presence.


Same friend as the previous post—a woman who's over patriarchy. She vents on occasion:
Several letters were suggested.
Eventually, there's always that person who goes off topic:
Sigh. SMH. (A white man, in case you were wondering.)
As I mentioned in the previous post, my friend is very polite. This was her response to him:
He agreed with her.
Another woman made a different point. More on topic:
That guy, though. Just couldn't leave this alone:
"LISTEN, I'M A GOOD GUY! NOT LIKE THOSE OTHER ONES! CAN YOU HEAR ME??????"
Part of me wanted to use that eyeroll emoji and respond with "omg #notallmen!" But I followed the example of my friend and stayed civil:
No response. Maybe he kinda got it.
I hate to admit my ego was still clinging to his earlier comment of "That would be great [for men like me because I deserve more deference]." But that's true.
Again, thanks to the kindness of my friend who corrected him so gently, I saw an opportunity to point out his tone-deafness:
It would be fucking great.
My friend is sharp, and not without appreciation of my effort:
No response from the man. Maybe he kinda got it.

Being single at my age gets me many mixed reactions. Here are my top 10…
- You are single? Have you tried Match.com? My cousin met his wife on there.
- No husband? Well don’t worry, there are plenty of fish in the sea.
- Why such a beautiful girl not married?
- You should go online, there are plenty of dating sites and I should know because my granddaughter met her boyfriend on one.
- Don’t worry, you will find someone one day.
- It’s on God’s watch
- When you are looking for someone, you won’t find him.
- You can’t be picky and base your interest on a bad profile picture.
- It’s not your time
- God is still perfecting your future husband.
Let’s start off by talking about online dating. It SUCKS! It is a waste of money, time, and it is creepy. I should know, Match.com has made a lot of money off of me. I have had a subscription off and on but now I have been online with them for almost 6 months. I have yet to go on a date. I even paid for someone to re write my profile! Don’t forget that it is creepy and frustrating as well. I specified that I am looking for someone between the ages of 33-40. So when I get a message from someone that is 52 and wants to know if I want to chat, I am so grossed out. I wouldn’t date someone 8 years younger than my father.
I must share the most bizarre email I have received (this is only a portion of it)
– What more can I say about myself??? OK I have a Yahoo Instant Messenger. If you do please Invite me as ( xxx ) or Email me so we can take this Further and See where it takes us too. I want to talk to you, Please don’t disregard my Interest or Ignore my message. l’ll understand if you aren’t comfortable OK?? Frankly it looks like you’re a part of me that was Lost but Found now, Please accept me :), You will like Me. I’ll be waiting to talk to you soon. WOW!
P/S Reply to this and Don’t ignore my message, I will understand if you arent comfortable ok? Thanks Have a great day, INVITE me on Yahoo… Leave me your Cell # please. Thanks -HAPPY NEW YEAR
To say the least, I don’t use Yahoo instant messenger and I sure as hell would not send this Yahoo my cell #. He did have a profile picture and he had to be in his fifties.
How many times have you heard, looks are not important? Hell YES THEY ARE! Are you really going to sleep with someone you are not attracted to? Granted, we all age and lose our youthful glow but if you are not initially attracted to someone physically, chances are that “spark” will fade. With that said, if I don’t like the guy’s profile picture, there is a 1% chance that I would move on and read his profile. Even if the guy is slightly cute but does not put in any effort to post decent pictures of himself, that tells me he does not want to put much effort into finding someone. When I see pictures of guys chugging beer, or have their arm around a girl with her breasts hanging out…um hello…that is no match for me Match.com
I love when people tell me, don’t worry…there are plenty of fish in the sea. That is disgusting! I don’t want to sleep with a fish for goodness sake. Yeah there may be a lot of “men” out there, but catching one has not been my specialty.
If I am such a beautiful girl, then why am I single? I wish I understood why I have not had a date in over 2 years. I am a beautiful girl. I am also smart, witty, creative, easy-going, and fun to be with. Just ask my mom how perfect I am 🙂
So it’s not my time to meet someone or everything is on God’s time. I love you God, but you need a new watch. If it’s not my time to be in love with a man I married and have children with, then when is it? Just tell me when and I will block the time on my calendar. I will even set a reminder on my phone.
The upside of being single is that I get to be independent and dictate my time, energy, and finances. Essentially, I can do whatever I want. But I wish I had a companion to do whatever with.


One thing that has come up a lot is cheating; it has played a significant role in my life as well and in a way has probably contributed to my negative self-image and weight gain.
The number of friends that I have that have been cheated on is insane, the amount of “boyfriends’ I have found on dating apps while in a committed relationship is disgusting.
And just as a public service announcement–I will call you out on it! You’ve been warned.
Now, I have been cheated on a few times in my life, it is actually how my marriage ended. Obviously when you find out that your significant other has cheated, you internalize those feelings and wonder what you did wrong. You could feel shame, embarrassment or guilt and if you are anything like me you will use food to manage those feelings. So, in my situation, weight gain just came along with that situation.
I can only speak to my perspective when it comes to cheating, I just want to clear the air that I am aware women cheat as well but obviously that’s not my experience.
Telling someone that your relationship ended due to cheating can be embarrassing. You feel like you did something wrong, you were the reason that your significant other sought out another woman. That is simply not true. One important thing to remember is that cheating is common, you would be surprised if you mention it how many people can relate.
Cheating has become so normal its crazy!
People will always have raging emotions, a need for attention, a need for belonging, a fear of intimacy or a lack of communication skills that pushes people to take the easy road and find someone else. Also, people believe the grass is greener on the other side; but the grass is always greener where you water it.
The problem is, people look for happiness in a relationship. They think that a relationship will complete them—let me tell you it will not! After the last relationship of mine ended with of course cheating, I was pissed. I knew that I should be looking for happiness within myself.
When someone cheats, it is simply because they lack something within themselves. I spent so much of my life wondering what is wrong with me and I have finally figured out the problem isn’t me. Now don’t get me wrong, I am not saying I am without flaw, but I am an honest and loyal person. The problem is the other person, they are lacking something within themselves, they may carry an insecurity or fear that makes commitment challenging.
One thing I didn’t want to do after my relationships ended was play the victim, I did not want to live my life feeling sorry for myself. Someone once told me that I should hate my ex because he ruined my life, he didn’t ruin my life at all, he gave me the experience I needed to develop into who I am today. I was able to find myself and develop in both my professional and personal lives.
So, if you’re reading this and you’ve been cheated on and are still dealing with those emotions, talk about them with a friend. One thing that has helped me is I write my feelings down; when someone has wronged me, I typically write them a letter. I articulate my feelings on paper and then I throw it away. Obviously I do not recommend this in friendships where you intend on continuing the relationship, this is mostly when the relationship is over. There is power in getting your feelings off your chest!
Now, there was no coming back for me after cheating. That was the straw that broke the camel’s back, so I dealt with the situation by completely eliminating that person from my life with the exception of my children’s father. If a person is not respectful to me, they do not deserve to be a part of my journey and will be treated as such. I only have time and space in my life for positive influence. There is a fear of being alone, people will give up their own self respect and values just to say they are in a relationship. Why is there shame associated with being single, I personally think its awesome. It is important to be alone to learn about yourself, what makes you happy, what activities do you enjoy and what are your values in life. Without this information, you will never be truly happy in a relationship because you are validating your success and happiness through someone else. What if they left?
I’ve gotten to a place in my life where I am happy with my life and I no longer hold any negative feelings towards the cheating that has occurred in my life. Whoever I chose to involve in my life would have to make a positive contribution, otherwise to me it simply isn’t worth it.
As a final statement, if I could tell myself 1 thing about relationships, never ignore the red flags. If you seriously feel that your significant other is cheating on you, there is a high probability that it is happening. If you just found out that your partner has been unfaithful and you have left, know it’ll be ok. There is nothing wrong with you, you need to heal yourself and find your happiness again.

VERSE1: Let me say this here I love you grandma/ the way you held me down when it got hard/ I see God in you loving my faults/ and that ain't easy cause your boy got a lot of flaws/ dear mama I love you like Pac song/ how we use the fight all night long/ then we wake up in the morn like we reborn/ you love me through my wrongs that made me strong/ I can't forget the times that I fell short/ so call friends judging me like we in court/ said they had my back but that was back then/ you never know what happens until it happens/ no love lost just love gained/ for those that stuck with me through the growing pains/ and though I've changed you don't understand me/ you still love me and that's family/
VERSE2: And you better know that I love my wife/ the reason God made her just for my life/ yeah she crazy but that's my type/ and wow she's beautiful we too alike/ and Lord knows I love my kids I'm a proud dad/ I know they've taught me more than I taught them/ little me's so there's no telling what they gone do/ but no matter what it is they gone hear I love you/ I will forgive you and help you with your issue/ and if you leave I'll be waiting as I miss you/ through it all I'll be your band aid in your tissue/ unconditional love its official/ I'm talking Mercy favor that's not earned/ real love true love what we all yearn/ cause in my dirty germs I deserve to burn/ but the love that created me was confirmed/ because He was concerned. Grace!

You deserve someone who loves you with all their heart, someone who will think about you everytime, someone who will be wondering every minute of the day what you’re doing, where you’re at, who you are with, and how you are. You need someone who helps you make your dreams come true, and make your fears go away. You need someone that treats you with respect, who loves you like no one no matter your flaws. You should be with someone that knows how to make you happy, really happy.

In A Fellowship of Differents, Scot McKnight writes about the differences between love in our culture and Christian love:
Our dictionary definition of love has, to use theological words, no eschatology. That is, it has no final goal other than perhaps the personal happiness of the one loved or the one who loves–as long as that lasts. But Christian love has direction. It aims at one person helping another to become Christlike. [p. 66, emphasis added]
Contrary to what culture tells us, there’s more to love than the other person’s happiness. Love considers the other person’s holiness as well. Christ became sin, who knew no sin, that in him we might become NOT his happiness but his righteousness (see 2 Cor 5:21). To be sure, we become joyful as a result of this process. But our joy is a benefit or product of this love, not its primary goal.
Does your love look more like our culture’s definition of love or Christ’s embodiment of love? I know mine looks much more like the former than the latter most times. May God in his graciousness continue to transform us through his own love into those who live and love as he did.
