The Best Hand-Me-Down
I passed a lady on the street the other day who looked a little like my mother. It's been 27 years since I actually saw my mother's face: my mother died at age 55, when I had just turned 19. What I remember most about my mother is her holding her head high and going on, even in the midst of tragedy, adversity, and illness. Oh, how I hope she knows that the example she set for me has served me well in life!

The nature of fear: understanding fear and its true purpose
For some of us, fear is a constant companion, the underlying force in our lives that keeps us feeling "stuck" or "safe". It may prevent us from pursuing something that could be a life-changing opportunity or from fulfilling our true purpose. Before we can begin to free ourselves of fear and its negative effects, we need to understand the true nature of fear. It is the imbalance of our emotions that create toxic levels of fear. If you are sick and tired of being afraid, here are three simple steps to begin to free yourself from fear.
Are Our Young Women In Trouble? Today's Illusionary Icons
Indeed, over the years we made important strides in our quest for equality with men in business and in society, but what about in relationships? If how we think and behave is a result of what we were taught and exposed to as children, what does that tell us about girls growing up today? One reason for the somewhat distorted thinking of young women today could be that the world around them is not teaching them about integrity, confidence, or self-esteem. It's a losing battle when young women are then bombarded by self-serving, deceptive messages emanating from the media around them. We have to teach our little sisters how to be comfortable in their own skin.
How to Feel Good with Family
Are you feeling frustrated, resentful, or angry around some members of your family? Do you have mixed feelings about spending time with or calling parents, siblings, children, or relatives? Well, you are not alone. Especially during the Christmas holidays, family issues often show up in major ways.

Many social ills have been attributed to low self-esteem. Enshrining the self has served overall to degrade societal sanctions. An inward focus promotes self-tolerance, entitlement, victimhood, and narcissism. In contrast, true and sustainable self-esteem comes from a different source. It is based on outgoing love: a true concern for the well-being of others that subordinates the inwardly directed desires of the self. This love is the core of healthy self-esteem.
Trust Your Gut!
The whole concept of "women's intuition" may seem somewhat medieval and goofy to some of us, but there's a good reason that this concept has stuck around for so long without being discarded like so many frivolous ideas of the past. Women often don't listen to themselves and to their internal wisdom. Red flags, by the way, are a sure sign that our intuition is in fine form and is trying to tell us something; if only we would listen to it!
I'm Fabulous, Right?
If only it were as easy to have self-esteem as it is to define it! While it's great to be reminded in our low times, we also need to work on remembering how fabulous we really are all on our own and not become dependent on hearing it from other people so much of the time. Why is this so hard for so many of us? This article provides some some tips on how to boost your self-esteem when you're having a "low self-esteem attack".
