To the Men in My Life

I have had one guest blogger on my page and his post nearly gave one of my most loyal readers’ high blood pressure or something to that effect… She literally had to breathe into a brown bag to get herself together. Today’s post is a collage, inspired by my least favorite radio station – Classic FM! They chose to celebrate women (Today is International Women’s Day to all you blondies out there) by requesting women to call in and say something to the men in their lives; fathers, brothers, husbands, boyfriends, friends et al. I posed the same question to the women in my life… Their responses are as follows:

P.s. I have picked random names from the Bible

*Jemmimah: If a man, any man loves a woman truly… then a woman will submit, respect and care for that man; be it a father, colleague or friend

*Keziah: Stop trying to understand women and love them instead, it’s that simple.

*Keren-Happuch: To man up! (Lol! I thought that was so straight-forward… My favorite)

*Rachel: Well, Rachel had a lot of things to say. In fact she said something specific to each and every man in her life… Everything she said, it all boiled down to: Man up/ grow a pair or two… and you give me butterflies J  

*Eve: I love them… Thanks for showing me that there are good hardworking men in this world. Men who know how to love and take care of what is theirs in an honest manner! *Sniff*

*Sarah: She broke it down for me as well. She had something to say to each man… It all boiled down to: Man up!
*Delilah: Treat your woman the way you want your daughter to be treated by her man! 

*Deborah: I would never have realized my strength if you (men) were not in my life… #DEEP!

Naturally, these women, well some of them anyway, posed the same question to me. So, to the men in my life, 
Ladyaiyanna says: Trying to keep up with bottled happiness in varying %’s (read as alcohol) is the last thing we wish for; over-consumption of alcohol takes you away from us!  There is absolutely no justification for being unfaithful... ONE RIB, IS ALL YOU'RE MISSING! Women multiply the love, respect and care they receive from a man or anyone for that matter. Give me love, respect and care… I give it back to you in double portions… and then some! J But above all, women just want LOVE and CONSISTENCY from you!"

Women are phenomenal! To borrow from Maya Angelou:

“It’s in the reach of our arms

The span of our hips

The stride of our steps

The curl of our lips…

It’s the fire in our eyes

The flash of our teeth

The swing in our waist

The joy in our feet…

It’s in the arch of our back

The sun in our smile…” J J J

A TOAST TO ALL THE WOMEN IN THIS POST & ALL OVER THE WORLD! :*

With love,

A Phenomenal Woman!
