Our World - THE PRESSURE !!!!

As a mother of two teenage boys I am the first to admit I'm a little out of touch with the current struggles teenage girls are facing! You always hear about the normal "Body Image" issues but recently I read a number of articles in relation to the pressures of teenagers and all that this entails.  I was astonished to read some things that were brought to my attention but at the same time  I was happy that I had decided to read more in relation to what is really going on out there.  


I personally, felt pressured just reading the articles about the expectations of young women these days, especially teenagers, so I can't imagine what it is like for most of the girls.  It is no wonder so many teenagers are struggling so much.  What is expected of them sexually within their age group horrified me.  They are starting from such an early age (11 and upwards?) and it seems without too much respect for themselves at all.  The cigarette behind the cricket shed on the oval in my day has now been replaced by oral sex with many teachers reporting that this is happening on a regular basis.   It seems less and less they are thinking of themselves first and  it seems they are struggling with peer pressure and conforming to "Requirements of popularity" more than ever before.  I thought society was trying to teach them to be self loving and independent so what I have learnt to be the truth seems to defy all of that.  It also seems that teenagers in general have little or no inhibitions at all and this acceptable to their friends especially.  It seems self respect went out the window with Facebook and text messaging - especially images.  This has made me even more determined to instil the morals of respect for all women so much more with my own boys. 


Today I am more grateful than ever to be the mother of boys (which at times also isn't easy to say the least).  I have to admit I am not sure how I would cope raising girls.  I would love to hear from any parent that can tell me a different story when it comes to our children and the truth about what is happening in their lives.  I hear now that it doesn't matter too much if the opposite sex is there or not and many girls opt for the same sex if need be without batting an eyelid.  Needless to say all of this has left me confused and with an overwhelming feeling of naivety. Is this really the truth?

Working full time, spending weekends doing the housework and for the rest of the time trying to fit in something that resembles actually having a life, I realised I haven't spent as much time as I would like taking in the transformation of our world as we know it.  


Weeks go by and other than work, sometimes it feels like my only exposure to the real world is a trip to get the petrol.  I don't even grocery shop any more. Sometimes more expensive I know, but the convenience of shopping on line and having it delivered to your door far outweighs the time and effort taken struggling with rude inconsiderate people, long cues and screaming toddlers (Well most of the time).  I think the Technology we are now offered assists people more and more to become a recluse and only deal with the REAL world when they really have to.  Unfortunately this ensures you may become out of touch with reality.  But then again what is reality now?


Have you noticed that our world now seems to revolve around food, much more so in recent years than ever before or maybe it's just that I haven't paid enough attention.  We are constantly told what to eat, what not to eat, how to grow it, how to cook it, what can kill you and what can help you.  That too is an issue for me as my diet or lack of, leaves alot to be desired. Regretfully,I have fallen too many times into the trap of getting something on the table, not necessarily the most appropriate meals in any way to ensure more time for other things.  This concerns me and I promise myself every week to try and make more of an effort but its seems tiredness and lethargy always gets in the way.  Understandably it's a catch 22 isn't it?


At one time we all thought that the measurement of success was the amount of money you made and the things you accumulated along the way.  As the saying goes "He who dies with the most toys wins!".Overall and sadly, this hasn't changed too much its just that now the things we accumulate are less (in an attempt to live minimalistically) but each item purchased is just more expensive.  Many families struggle these days to maintain the amount to just cover the bills, so less and less is spent on holidays and items that we now consider luxuries in life.  I myself had my first real holiday in 10 years last year.  Another perk of being a single parent. - no extra funds available to enjoy life the way you would like to.  I have also noticed there are many more suicides now in relation to marriage separation and the pressures of financial stability for families.  The pressure seems so huge for everyone.


For our children, social pressure begins and effects them long before the financial pressures kick in so I often wonder what sort of adults these children will be later in life.  What can you suggest to help our children and encourage them to still retain self respect and respect for all others whilst battling the daily pressures that life in general delivers them?

On the up side I think we all have the ability to make our lives bearable.  I think the secret to this is to try to worry less and make time for ourselves outside of all these tremendous responsibilities. By doing this our kids will learn the importance of this long before we ever did.  We can certainly set an example for them without feeling selfish.  I think it is essential for self preservation if nothing else.  I would appreciate any suggestion you have in regard to this.  What is your favourite time out?


What have you noticed about the changes in our world that you like or dislike?

Your Bestie - What would you do without them?

What would you do without your “Bestie”? What if they weren’t here anymore? What are the words you wished you would have said?

 Many women have said that they can tell their best friend “ALL”.  More than their sister, more than their husband or partner even more than their own Mother. 

It would be wonderful to hear from anyone about their Bestie and what they mean to you.  Literally where would we be without them.  I can’t imagine a world without mine.  I honestly know that I wouldn’t have survived many things in my life without her. 

I am sure there are many of you out there that have wonderful stories to share and I’d love to hear from all of you. 

What is the funniest thing you ever did together? 

What is the biggest secret you share?

What did you get her on her last birthday?

What did she get you?

What have you learnt from each other?

Who had the worst date?

Who had the best pick up line?

Who got the best bargain this year?

How much do you know about each other?

Who eats the most chocolate?

What is something you’ve told your “Bestie” that you could or would never tell anyone else?

So many questions so little time LOL.  Now surely I can get some comments with this one either here or on Facebook!

Can’t wait to see your comments or hear your thoughts.  We are all so grateful for our best friends, but don’t ever forget to tell them just how grateful you are. :) xxxxx

Your Life's Purpose

Are you doing what you love?  Do you look forward to going to work every day?  Do you feel you are making a difference?  Do you feel appreciated?

I would love to hear from anyone who has found their life’s purpose along with the challenges and determination it took to get to where you wanted to be.

Recently a friend of mine completed her University Degree and whilst this was extremely hard and challenging for her, as a bystander, 4 years seemed to fly by.  I am astonished at how she put her mind to it and just did it and the short time it took in comparison to the rest of her life.  She has now secured her first job and I know she is looking forward now to the rest of her life with achievement and purpose with her every step of the way.  I not only envy her, but I am inspired by the trials and extreme challenges she had to go through to get where she wanted to be.

I find personally there is always an excuse that I find to prevent me from following what I believe to be my life’s purpose.  Mother to two children, a mortgage and bills keep me tied to a job that on a weekly basis provides me with enough just to get by.  I do love my current job but there is always that fight within me that wants to do more and a knowing that this is not what I was put here to do.

I think the fear of failure, lack of financial security and the fact that I am not only  just looking after myself and I have two other people to consider in the decisions I make, makes me less inclined to step out of what I refer to as the Safety Box. 

Do you struggle through knowing that you could be doing something totally different if only finances and circumstances would let you? Or have you been strong enough and thrown caution to the wind and jumped straight in without any knowledge of how it was going to happen and only the trust that you know it will come to fruition.

We all have dreams and of course I have learnt, that it is only us that can make our dreams a reality, so why do we put our life on hold until…..  Before you know it, 10 or 20 years have flown by and there is still that until….

Each and every one of us is given a special gift, something we enjoy or something we are just extremely good at, but how many of us actually use the gift we’ve been given.  If you have delved into yourself your life’s purpose usually can be found around the things you love to do or things that interest you.  I think that’s just a hint to let you know the direction to follow but getting to the actual destination is sometimes not so easy.

I am constantly inspired by people’s determination to make their dreams come true.  Many may be knocked down 3-4 times before they get it right but instead of stopping the first of second time it didn’t work, they just persisted and kept going. 

What steps have you taken to follow your dream?

MOTHER'S DAY FOR A SINGLE MUM

Here in Australia it’s MOTHER’S DAY tomorrow.  So I just wanted to ask anyone who reads this to do me a little favour. That is to send a text, email or Facebook/Twitter message to any friends you know are Single Mums. 

Mother’s Day can be a very difficult day for some single mums as they most times don’t have the finances to splurge on themselves.  If they have little ones they often don’t have the spare change to give them to be able to buy that little something, which I know the children would love to do.  Most times family will step in and buy a little something from the children but there are certainly A LOT of single Mum’s out there that will go without the normal accolades that Mother’s Day would normally bring.

The gorgeous and unforgettable gifts that are normally made at school with the Teacher’s assistance, never go unnoticed or unappreciated, but if you can just send a little message to acknowledge that you are thinking of them, this would be enough it itself to make one single mum very happy on her special day.

I know many single Mum’s dread Mother’s Day as it most times it is just thwart with disappointment. Memories of how things used to be flood back and if they don’t have family around them it can be a very difficult and trying day especially if their children are extremely young.  Bear in mind that they too would love to be taken out for Breakfast, lunch or Dinner, showered with gifts, hugs and kisses but unfortunately this is not always the case.

To all those strong and super single Mum’s out there I would like to personally wish you a WONDERFUL MOTHERS DAY and send you all the love, support and encouragement you deserve.  You are doing an absolutely fantastic job! So HAPPY MOTHERS DAY and please know you are loved, appreciated and respected today and every day.

Love and care always

Girl E Business

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY !!!!

"A single rose for a single Mum"

I AM "GR8FUL" FOR KIM SERAFINI

Let me tell you that we really do have angels here on earth.  One that I have been privileged and honoured to  know personally,  Kim Serafini.  Over the years I have read and listened to many, many, many books, CD’s and literature pertaining to the ways to get the most out of  this life we live and I can honestly say that no one has touched my heart more than this person and the beliefs that she shares. 

The things she speaks of seem to emanate from a soul that has been here long before any of us.  This inspiring, strong, supportive and, intelligent individual inspires others beyond belief on a daily basis . Some may tell her just how immense the effect of just being around her can be, some may not, and I have to admit I didn’t. 

Her unrelenting support is never centred around one certain person or group of people. In Kim’s world any sort of discrimination simply does not exist.  It doesn’t matter who you are, where you’ve been, what you’ve done and what you have or don’t have. To Kim, everyone and anyone is “ONE” and her life’s purpose is to ensure your life is as wonderful and as happy as is humanly possible during the time we spend here.

This blog is my acknowledgement to her and how she impacted on my life alone, but in writing this I really wanted to take this opportunity to share this unbelievable TRUTH  with you . 

The” iamgr8ful For Life” book, compiled by Kim could be considered “Little”,  but to say the impact it can have on your life is “Enormous” is an understatement.   Coupled with the “Iamgr8ful club” it can literally change your world.  I have included links to both the book and the site for you to see for yourself.

You can learn more about Kim by going to the “iamgr8ful” websites. (see links included)

Kim is literally testimony to the saying “If you truly believe you can do it, then you can!” Perseverance, trust, determination and above all, gratitude, can certainly ensure one very happy, rewarding  and joyous life.

I can only image what the world would be like if everyone knew all they had to do was just be gr8ful.
