Mind, Body, Soul
At Your Own Pace
By Mona Lease

Greetings, Gals!! I'm submitting the following for you to consider...see how it might fit into your life. Keep the mind and the body healthy. The rest will fall into place.

No person has the right to condemn you on how you repair your heart or how long you choose to grieve, because no one knows how much you're hurting. Recovery takes time, and everyone heals at his or her own pace. - Halos and Horns Fun Page

People who commit suicide don't want to end their life, they want to end the pain, bullying, hating, anger, and feeling unloved and unwanted. - Halos and Horns Fun Page

Forgiveness is a reflection of loving yourself enough to move on. - Steve Maraboli

A person can become so determined to destroy another person that they become blind and end up destroying themselves. - Halos and Horns Fun Page

"She's different now," he said. I was too much of a jerk to see how beautiful she really was. Her heart was beautiful, she cared so much about me and I never understood why. I never treated her the way she deserved to be treated. "Why?" I asked. Because her love scared me. Her love was so intense. With her I could have been happy. I almost forgot how beautiful her smile was. I forgot because she hadn't smiled lately. She just cried. It was a shame. She wasted so many tears for someone like me." - Halos and Horns Fun Page

The world is gonna judge you no matter what you do, so live your life the way you want to. - Think Smarter

The circles of women around us weave invisible nets of love that carry us when we're weak and sing with us when we're strong. - Transcendental Meditation for Women

On the darkest days, when I feel inadequate, unloved, and unworthy; I remember whose daughter I am and I straighten my crown. - Peace, Love, and Everything Else

The secret to permanently breaking any bad habit is to love something greater than the habit. - Bryant McGill

11 Things Women Couldn't Do in the 1920's
1)Have their own name on a passport: The married woman's passport was issued in her husband's name ("wife of"). Single women used their maiden name.
2)Wear whatever they wanted: Everything but the hands and face were covered.
3)Have certain kinds of jobs: Michigan "loose laws" banned "dangerous" work. Ohio prohibited jobs where men could "negatively influence" a woman's behavior - like a taxi-driver, pool-hall worker, or bowling alley worker.
4)Keep citizenship if wed to a non-citizen: You automatically lost your US citizenship this way.
5)Use your law degree to the fullest: Many law firms refused to hire a woman to practice law in court. She had to be a part of her husband's or Father's firm to practice.
6)Work the night shift: The "Protect Women" ban said women could not work from 10 pm - 6 am.
7)Take a quick bathroom break: The number of public restrooms was small. And there were few restrooms for women where they worked.
8)Hold a job while pregnant: Legal protection did not occur until 1978. Pregnancy was "detrimental" to job productivity.
9)Enlist or receive benefits for military work: In WW1 military work was volunteer or a civilian contract....with no benefits.
10)Hate housework: It was "women's work"...and there were few electric appliances. Women who hated housework were suffering "personal maladjustment."
11)Serve on a jury: Women got to vote 8/18/1920.

I'm gonna SMILE like nothing's wrong, PRETEND like everything's all right, ACT like it's all perfect; even though inside it really hurts. - Halos and Horns Fun Page

"Sometimes all you need is for someone to just be there, even if they can't solve your problems. Just knowing there is someone who cares can make all the difference." - sun.gazing.com

"Sometimes me think what is love, and then me think love is what last cookie is for. Me give up the last cookie for you." - Cookie Monster

The best is yet to be!!    MONA
