What Would You Do

When you look in the mirror each day what are your thoughts of YOU? What do you think? What do you see; perhaps a beautiful, bold, & intelligent woman who is on top of her game and sitting on top of the world? Or, maybe you see a woman who is tired, hurt, frustrated & in need of a vacation from the WORLD! Whatever it is you may see do you ever wonder if others see the same thing? Could it be that others see that “beautiful, bold, & intelligent woman who is on top of her game as ugly (particularly on the inside) belligerent, pushy & a tad bit narcissist!? Or they may see the woman in need of a vacation as strong; the one person they can dump all of their burdens on. Have you ever found yourself in a situation where your girlfriend has gone on & on in a rant regarding a conflict with perhaps a co-worker, a store cashier or even her mother? You sat there comforted her and agreed with every last word as she went on about how folks are just jealous and hating on her…….and we knew good-n-darn well she was wrong. Maybe you have seen the FB postings regarding haters, stalkers, or “shade throwers” and you wonder now who is hating, stalking or throwing shade at you and why; who is this post for anyway!? Or, maybe you have witnessed that “one woman” yelling at and cursing her children as she walked down the grocery store isle. What did you do? If you are anything like me you probably felt sorry for the children but figured what business is it of mine; bowled your head in shame for her and kept it moving. Do you ever wonder what would have happened had you taken a few minutes to pull her aside and attempted to have a candid yet respectful conversation; or perhaps rather then deleting that FB aquainttance what if you sent her a shall we say “let’s talk” inbox message what would the outcome be? How about telling that friend the truth be it good or bad tell her your true feelings tell her to own it and stand unconvicted in your choice, your right & responsibility as her friend to be honest with her. Ever wonder what would happen if we begin to have an open honest, candid & respectful conversations with each other? What would happen if we begin to approach these kinds of situations differently? What would happen if we chose to embrace & encourage; not laugh, get embarrassed, walk away, ignore and delete? Let’s face it we are all a refection of each other! What if we chose to stand before her being her mirror, showing her, her true reflection be it good or bad? What are your thoughts? #IAmMySistersMirror

PS: As I sit here getting ready to post my first blog I don’t know which feeling is more overwhelming the excitement or nervousness. I don’t know where this platform will take me but I do know where I want it to take me (my dreams are big). I have wanted to blog for for a while but hadn’t because of fear; fear of the unknown of what others may say or even think. I had many friends tell me Veronica you have got to let go of that fear it’s holding you back! I didn’t realize or better yet didn’t want to accept that I was allowing fear to hold me back. HONEY I THOUGHT I WAS FEARLESS! Thank God for my mirrors those friends who are honest and who dared to show me my true reflection… Here is to happy blogging! Cheers & Happy New Year! #IAmMySistersMirror
