The land of the "free." The land of opportunity. The country in which one can pursue and reach any dream. This is also the land of business. Everything seems to be a business transaction and not a humanity transaction in sight in Corporate America. A place where a catastrophic event is considered a house fire or losing a house to a storm. Losing your marriage, dignity, self worth, children, job due to domestic violence isn't considered a catastrophic event. Domestic violence costs the U.S. $8.3 billion a year. (caepv.org) This cost is for lost wages, medical expenses, and mental health services. Everything is a business but what is everyone's business is that domestic violence affects everyone. Everyone is so caught up in making a profit and losing sight that humans are very much affected by domestic violence yet its still kept hushed. What company is going to pay for a domestic violence seminar? One that cares but also one that can afford to pay for it. Budget cuts automatically affect seminars such as these. It is key that all aspects of the community shed light on domestic violence.

That moment in which you are humiliated by someone that should be helping you not knocking you while you are down. A Seminole County FL judge decided to humiliate an abused woman for not showing up to her court date. She sentenced her to three days in jail for not showing up to court to testify against her abusive husband. How can a woman look at another woman and not care for her well being as she begged stating she was already homeless and she had a 1 year old child. The judge didn't seem to care all she was concerned with was the victim not showing up to her court date. This judge victimized, humiliated, antagonized her in front of everyone. The judicial system has so many broken systems but this one takes the cake. This judge clearly was inhumane for such a decision. What if her abusive husband told her if she testifies she will be killed? What if one of his family members threatened her life? These are things that the judge didn't think about before when she was sentencing her.
One person. It just takes one person to try to break your confidence. That person can try to break down a lifetime of self worth. That same person can try to bring you up but drop you even faster. Why give another person power over what they think is attractive or good enough?! There are over 7 billion people on this planet and all it takes is one to try to bring you down. Well listen here ladies don't allow that bull crap from anyone. Don't let a man, magazine, model, celebrity etc. tell you what you should look like.
Why is it that us women tend to settle for the person that doesn't make us feel like we are enough? We put up with the torment, negativity, and drama knowing we are so much better then our situation. We are the most selfless creatures on earth yet still end up hurting. We hurt because we settle for the person that isn't worth a text yet we give them marriage. There's no other way of putting it then loving yourself more then the person that is there to try to ruin you. We sometimes invite the devil himself to join us by entertaining the idea of what "could be" yet don't realize he's actually the devil.
Success is loving what you do! Ladies is it possible to be a wife, mother, and a successful woman?! Insecure men tend to argue no and women that might question their why in life might not be as confident. Nothing is impossible. The word impossible says it all I'M POSSIBLE!! Yes ladies if you have the support, love, loyalty, respect and balance in your life then you can do anything. The key to having it all is confidence and balance. You and your partner should have both qualities to not only be personally successful but to maintain your relationship as well. Did MJ win those rings alone?
A woman, sister, human being, POLICE OFFICER heartlessly told a hopeless mother with her child in the stroller, it takes (3) events to get a restraining order against "the abuser." The mother looked at her straight in the face and said "it takes (1) event to take my life" and walked out of the police station saying enough is enough she will take charge of her situation. What happens when a man is a stalker and you've told the police "he's called me 140 times I fear for my life" and all the police can do is give you a fucking piece of paper with an incident number on it?! WHAT THE HELL IS AN INCIDENT NUMBER GOING TO DO FOR A WOMAN THAT IS IN FEAR FOR HER LIFE?!
