Hi babes! With the new year practically around the corner, I figured what better time than now to do a yearly review! I love doing these and sharing them with you all because it allows me the opportunity to look back. Reminiscing on all the experiences, both good/bad is one of my favorite ways to prepare for the new year ahead.
So if you’re as ready as I am, follow along with me as we jump into the latest on WLT, 2018: My Year In Review.
The truth about friendships? They’re a lot of work and that right there is the plain ole’ truth.
THEY ARE A LOT OF WORK.
I once met a man I knew I wanted to love.
He was charismatic, but kind,
Hard, but damn fine
He knew his way in the kitchen to that I could attest,
making it hard for me to compare his capabilities to the rest.
He was the kind of man who warmed me up when I was cold,
simple things that gave way to getting to the depths of my soul.
So it stands to reason that this man was someone I’d always knew I wanted to know.
Because as a child, I had pictured,
A man that was charismatic and just as kind,
who brought more to the table than just a few smooth lines.
He’d be a listener who’d catch every word I’d say,
letting me run my mouth to no end, but right there he would stay.
Not to be confused, I would be his support system just as much as he’d be mine.
With an unshakeable foundation,
prepared to stand the test of time.
That’s what I’d always wanted for myself,
this I could never deny.
And to think I met him, then later questioned why.
Here’s the thing about meeting the man I knew I wanted to love.
I never said finding then keeping him,
wouldn’t be a challenge all on its own.

It’s been a wild and amazingly challenging two years, let me tell you babes.
It feels like just yesterday, I was getting oriented about the Do’s & Don’ts of nursing school. I remember sitting in the front row of the auditorium feeling so nervous, and yet so excited at the same time. I had confidence that I was going to absolutely crush nursing school, but I wasn’t sure what doing so would look like.
When I chat with my girl friends, or guy friends with leading ladies in their lives — I have found that one thing remains a constant; the desire for assertiveness.
Whether it’s the girl wanting the guy to be more take charge in nature OR the guy recognizing that his girl wants him to be more of a take charge kind of guy — the preference for assertion continues to soar.
But why? Why do us women want more of an assertive man? In today’s post I’m shining the light on this secret desire and explaining why us girls feel a ways.
