*REBEKAH IS A CHRISTIAN LADY.*
This post cones from Rebekah at http://www.moreradiance.com. Rebekah shares twenty ways to be a lady. I have to agree with her. Most young women today how to be a lady. I am guilty of this myself. I haven’t taight my daughter how to be a lady. I have taughter how to say no and mean it. When to say and gauge the amount of authoritative tone to take. I knew her being a girl it would be needed for her to do this. As being an American woman whose part Mexican, I also knew, eventually, she’d face racism. So, I prioritized her having thick skin over being feminine.
Something I now realize this. How to change it. I don’t know. I guess by leading by example, perhaps. Here’s twenty ways to be more lady like. I will ones that I intend on implementing.
1. CHOOSE JOY. Absolutely. Choose to have joy rather than misery.
2. DRESS APPROPRIATELY. Rebekah emphasized the care which women shoukd take to be modest. I agree. No respectable lady goes out in public with HER ASSETS showing. Let’s leave it there. Also, stop wearing pajamas in public. I don’t know what is worse, pajamas or pants hanging off someone’s rear. Honestly y’all. Stop…
3. LOOK LIKE A FEMALE. Here’s one I am guilty of. I get it. Women in America today are more likely to be a victim of sexual violence than ever. I haven’t carried a purse or worn a dress (or skirt) in public in who knows how long. Probably since 2004. Seriously!
4. LET YOUR PERSONALITY SHINE. Growing up, I was so shy as a teen. I could barely say two words to people. Okay! Mainly boys my age. I didn’t understand what it meant to be introvert or extrovert. I had no idea. Once I did open up to people, they liked me. So, let your personality shine. Now at 52, I know that I tend to be introverted. So I am cautious about letting ky personality shine because I have attracked people who I regreted later. 😜
5. DON’T BE STUBBORN. This is one of those things you have to figure out. It’s okay to dig your heels in if you know what soneone is asking you to do is wrong or illegal. Otherwise, be open to other people. You will attract more pleasant people with honey than vinegar.
6. PUT YOUR PHONE AWAY. Guilty! Tuesday my daughter and I took our car in to have a headlight bulb replaced. What did we both do, played around on our phone. Yeah! Here’s the thing, when someone is talking to you, put the phone down and listen. What’s the difference between listening and hearing? Hearing is involuntary. Right now our cat is meowing and purring. I know this because I was paying attention to her. I also have the tv on binge watching a lafy in Germany make bread. I heard that annoying subscribe icon go off because it was there. I knew at sone point it would beep. So I heard it rather I wanted to or not. Hearing (heard) is involuntary. Moving on.
7. KEEP YOUR MAKEUP NATURAL. I saved this for last. I haven’t worn make up in forever. It was too expensive and I had a child too care for. That was more important. Now that she’s twenty one and doesn’t need me to care for her the same way, I think I will start wearing it again. I did the loud crazy burgandy lips and fingertips in the 1980s. WOW! Now I am 52 and would rather keep things easy and natural.
