Learning to be Assertive is Tough but Doable
It's difficult for people to be assertive. There's a fine line between being pushy or a pushover but it's important to know that being assertive is neither of these.

You Don't Need Make-Up
I grew up never wearing much makeup and in my twenties, even less. Then there were children, I birthed two and my husband was a practicing alcohol/drug addict. When we were getting divorced and the judge mistakenly said, "And you have three children," I pointed at my soon to be ex-husband, laughed and said, "yes, I did have three, until today!"

The Overabundance Of Toxicity & Trolls Online, That Absolutely No One Asked For
Social Media. Ah yes, with just the simple tap of a finger, you can access a wide variety of negativity, bitter individuals and energy vampires who wish to see you just as an unhappy as they are. Not exactly what you were expecting to read, huh? Don’t get me wrong, I can go on an absolute tangent about the onslaught of globalization and technological advancements, how far we have come in the contemporary age or even how amazing it is that we can connect with and share content with anyone, anywhere in the world with just the touch of a button. But that’s not what the focal point is today.
