Woman of The Week

Our woman of the week for this week is:

Eleanor Roosevelt (October 11, 1884 – November 7, 1962)Image result for image of eleanor roosevelt

Eleanor Roosevelt was born in New York City. She was a First Lady, Writer and Humanitarian. Eleanor became an orphan at an early age when she lost her mother at the age of eight and her father two years later.

In 1905 she married Franklin D Roosevelt – a distant cousin who would later become president of the United States. Eleanor became active in public service during world war 1,  and worked with the Red Cross.

When her husband became president in 1933 Eleanor changed the role of the First Lady and showed the world that The First Lady was an important part of American politics. As a humanitarian she stood against racial discrimination and spoke out for human rights, children’s causes, and women’s rights.

After the death of her husband she served as a delegate to the United Nations General Assembly from 1945 – 1953. She became Chair of the UN Human Rights Commission and helped to write the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

Be Kinder to Each Other

One important step towards empowerment as women is that we support one another. Too often women allow envy and jealousy to get in the way of friendships and in some cases good friends become bitter enemies.

Another rule of vital importance is that we respect each other’s relationship. Never contribute to the breakup of another woman’s relationship. Never be a contributing factor in why another woman’s marriage failed. If your happiness can only come about by causing another woman’s unhappiness, whatever happiness you experience will be short-lived. Don’t be a home wrecker; as women let us support and respect each other

Abuse is not Okay

Do you love yourself enough to know that you deserve the best in life? Do you understand that it was never God’s will for you to live a life of sorrow. Don’t settle for heartache and try to convince yourself that it is okay. Don’t tell yourself that you are too weak to get out of the situation you are in. By the willpower of the strength God has placed in you rise up strong women break free from the bonds of domestic abuse. Love yourself enough to want better for your lives. If you love him… love yourself more.

Marie Curie was a Polish and naturalized French Chemist and Physicist. She developed the theory of radioactivity, technique for isolating radioactive isotopes. She also discovered the elements polonium and radium. During world war 1 she developed mobile radiography units which provided x-ray services to the field hospitals. Today mobile X-ray units are a life saving part of health care.
Marie Curie was the first woman to win a Nobel Prize and the only woman to win twice. She founded the Curie Institutes in Paris and in Warsaw. Sadly she died of aplastic anemia caused by her exposure to radiation from her research in radiology.
This week we pay tribute to this iconic woman who contributed so much to the field of Science.

Empowerment

“Women Empowerment Reminder of The Day. 
Always respect yourself as a woman. You attract what you are, so be very mindful of how you’re representing yourself. If you want respect, you must first learn how to respect yourself, first. Attracting negative attention is never a good thing. Be a woman of substance! Be a woman that both women and men respect, admire, and look up to. Don’t disrespect yourself by lowering your standards and accepting just anything that comes your way. It’s okay to be single! If you want a relationship of substance, you can’t keep entertaining people and things that mean you no good. Think about it! It’s all up to you.” 
― Stephanie Lahart

Accept Yourself

To every woman I say: Love yourself, Respect yourself, Accept yourself for who you are. Have great expectation for your life. Don’t feel you have settle because you are not good enough. Let no one erode your self-esteem. Strive be happy and at peace with yourself and those around you.

Empowering Women

Ladies looking out for yourself is very important as others may not always be there to protect you. The biggest weapon that leaves women trapped in relationships is FEAR. Now this FEAR does not come obout overnight. Overtime an abusive partner will groom you to FEAR him so it is important to recognize signs of intimidation however subtle. If you feel that he will hurt you even if he hasn’t laid a hand on you listen to your intuition and tread carefully. You cannot build a healthy relationship with someone that you are afraid of so if he tries to intimidate you walk away.

7 REASONS NOT TO RETURN AN ABUSIVE RELATIONSHIP

  1. Remember that it was the abusive behavior of your partner which caused you to leave in the first place. You were not happy in the relationship.
  2. He will continue to abuse you even if he promises you that he will never hit you again.
  3. Abusers seldom stop their abusive behavior unless they get some form of counseling or therapy so don’t go back and expect him to change simply because he says he has changed. As soon as he gets comfortable with you being back he will start abusing you again.
  4. Abusers like to instill fear in their victims so he will try to make you so fearful of him that you are less likely to leave him.
  5. He may become more possessive and controlling and try to make you more isolated from your family and friends. He might start keeping tabs on you, watching you more closely for any sign that you might try to leave again.
  6. He may do everything within his power to make it impossible for you to leave again. He might even threaten to take your life.
  7. The most serious of all the reasons is that he may follow through on his threats. You may never get the chance to escape a second time with your life. Some abusers are prepared to take your life and then theirs.

Once you get the chance to leave the relationship never return to an abusive partner no matter how persuasive he may be.
