San Antonio Woman’s Post

I was given a treasure chest full of pearls in relationship. One jewelry box at a time. As a woman who wears giant hoop earrings and bejeweled bangles and a copper armband, pearls have never really been my thing. I said thank you and continued to receive pearls. I wore them occasionally and felt like a little fraud with pearls on my neck and lobes. I got gifted some more and felt like an asshole for letting someone I loved spend money on something that I didn’t care for at all. I stopped wearing the pearl jewelry. I started to wonder how they could keep giving me pearls when I OBVIOUSLY did not like them. I built a story around being unknown by my own partner. I felt both ungrateful and angry. How clueless they were! How petty I was! In my not wanting to hurt his feelings, I let a simple thing monstrefy. New word, hehe. Who created this monster? I DID! I am telling on myself here to make the point that while some people are, in fact, “clueless” Most partners genuinely want you to feel happy. And they need more than clues to get it right. Whether we are talking about pearls, or the way they touch you in bed, Speak your Truth. Know why you don’t. Create a sense of safety so that you can start. Practice and Celebrate when you do honor yourself. If you want to learn the strategy to be heard by, known by, connected to Your Person, and you want to do this in a playful and unique way, with a coach who has the tools to bring some EASE to it, let’s do it today. So that by Thanksgiving, you are telling your partner things like “I never told you this, but I actually prefer that you drive half the time on long car trips.” and “Can I show you what I mean by flat tongue, give me your hand...” comment RENEW below to book yourself in to the next phase of your relationship that feels so much lighter... You can also DM me RENEW and I will send you the details. This impactful Three Session Course if for COUPLES. **Singles, DM me to learn the strategy. in love, Gina #relationshipgoals #tantralove #speakyourtruth #askforwhatyouwant #truthful

I once had a little Maltese named Tiffany. She was named after the luxury jewelry store because of how much we paid for her. However, she was a laugh a minute. Every day, she would sit by the sliding glass door staring out into the backyard, agitated, and constantly wanting to go outside to chase squirrels. Once I let her out, usually within a few minutes, she’s back staring at me through the glass, wanting to come back inside. We do this a dozen times a day.      It is funny when it is a dog’s silly antics but not so much when that same level of discontent happens in our relationships. We get married and begin by loving our “yard.” It might not be fancy, but it’s ours. We worked hard for it. We paid for it, so we protect it. We place “do not walk on the grass” signs. We guard against intruders. We spray for weeds and are diligent to care for it.      Then, like my Tiffany, time passes, and we start glancing outside. It starts small, such as admiring someone in the gym or at the office. Thinking the neighbor down the street is attractive. Then it grows more specific, such as noticing things about your spouse that you wish were more like so-and-so. And suddenly, discontent grows, and we start wondering if our yard isn’t all that green after all. We start looking into other yards and comparing ours to theirs. The discontent then morphs into a monster, and we are at risk of burning it all down with sin.      It’s common for us to experience coveting or jealousy. But guess what? Once you make the leap, you are going to be just like my dog, staring through the glass, wishing you were back where you were. Because the view from the other side isn’t worth it. It promises pleasure where there’s only pain. It makes guarantees it cannot keep.      If you feel the weed of discontent growing around your ankle, pull them up quickly. Focus on watering, fertilizing, and investing in your relationship. Trust me, Tiffany & Co. are struggling with their own issues.   Don’t get fooled by the mirage. Stay in your yard, put up those “do not walk on the grass” signs again, and protect the blessing that God has given you. Don’t be like Tiffany & Co.     “‘And you shall not covet your neighbor's wife. And you shall not desire your neighbor's house, his field, or his male servant, or his female servant, his ox, or his donkey, or anything that is your neighbor's.’ - Deuteronomy 5:21

Yes that's me in a jacket. I cracked up today at some of the comments I got. 🤣 For those of you who don't know me, I rarely, if ever, "dress up" in a sport coat or suit. And NEVER a tie (even though I probably own 50) from previous years. I could count on one hand the number of times I've "dressed up" in the last 15 years. So when I donned this outfit today for a business luncheon in Chicago, friends and family had to take a double take. ⬇️Here are a few of the comments I received: ▪︎ Who died? Did you go to a funeral?🤦♂️ (From my 15 year old) ▪︎ You look like you're getting married! (From my 6 year old 🤣) ▪︎ Did you have court today? 😳😅 ▪︎ Those clothes still fit? 😑 ▪︎ You look very handsome, now stop second guessing shirts and leave so you're not late. (From my wife, of course. Lol.😂) Anyway, it feels good to put on nice clothes every now and then, but I am much more of a jeans and sweatshirt or T-shirt type of guy. In my industry, a shirt and tie are NOT required. 😁 I hope you got a kick out of the comments as much as I did. Now time to go change clothes. 😉 #DanPetersonOfficial #entrepreneurlife #businessattire #suits #businesscasual #businessowner #marketing #ceo

Do you have a wardrobe story that tells of your most embarrassing moment? Many women have fashion faux pas but sometimes, they are caught out at an important event wearing exactly the same dress as someone else, and generally it’s someone you don’t want to be associated with! This happened to one of my clients, Michelle Blicavs before she started working with me, as you can find out in the snippet below Having worked with some very prominent women during the course of my career, one of the things I work very hard on is keeping my clients looking authentic and individualistic, so that they will never be found in this situation. It’s all in how you coordinate your wardrobe and ensure that your personal brand is the main focus, not necessarily the designer brand you are wearing. If you’d like to know more about my process and how you can work with me one on one, reply to me privately or better still register for my free webinar, the links in the first comment below, #fashionfauxpas #wardrobematters #personalstyle #personalbranding

♥️ How have we spent our time with our mothers this mother's day? My partner and I were just strolling around the majestic Marina Bay Sands shopping mall and she mentioned "Some family spoil their mothers at posh restaurants while others celebrated at more humbled restaurants and eatery. How interesting is this disparity." Her observation made me ponder the question: "How do we measure our mother's contribution as we celebrate mother's day today?" To me, its unmeasurable and its priceless. Our mothers paid the ultimate price of immerse pain as they give birth to us and showered us with her love and its derivatives as a foundation for our growth to strive. Her contribution is beyond measure and should be considered as a lifelong debt of gratitude as sons and daughters. Wouldn't you agree? A lifelong debt of gratitude requires lifelong repayment of this debt towards our mothers. There is a Chinese saying 饮水思源. It means we ought to remember the source of the very water we drink each day. A better question may be: "How could we as the child of our mother repay our debt of gratitude towards her daily throughout our lifetime?" Share with me below what are the ways which we could demonstrate our love for our mothers and in doing so, repay the debt of gratitude towards her. Then ultimately how does this actions shape you as a person? ♥️ #lifecoach #mothersday #coach https://lnkd.in/dr7HvVy8

💥NEWSFLASH 💥 PERSONAL STYLIST SAVES MARRIAGE! Okay, a slight exaggeration 😅 But thanks to @kerriecarucci_stylist during a recent visit to BNE, I successfully purchased an entire Gala Ball outfit (head to toe) in approx. 20 minutes (with most of this time invested changing in & out of my poorly chosen shopping attire! 🙃). I ducked into several shops between Wintergarden & Queens Plaza in less time that hubby took to order & drink a cuppa! ☕️ #happyspousehappyhouse How? ➡️ The PRE-WORK was completed between Kerrie & I. ➡️ I had CLARITY of what was needed & where to go.
