Introduction to DHL

Dearest Reader,

Hello!

I wanted to try to quickly introduce myself and the purpose of this blog.  My name is Bridgett; also known as XO The Realest or the "Happy Wife" in the new popular blog/vlog "Happy Wife, Nappy Life". 

I was in a recent conversation with one of my daughters in which I found myself giving her advice that I wouldn't NORMALLY give to others because of the nature of it...

And I wondered...

Gauging by her response and how well the advice was received; if I should begin a section of my site driven towards GIVING women a voice.

Because oftentimes we have a hard time communicating EFFECTIVELY with our significant others.

In the moments of turmoil, we oftentimes forget the power we have in our femininity and we try to fight like men against our men...

Even in words...

But we have so much POWER sis!

I have to say THIS first before I continue...

Speaking UP doesn't mean speaking LOUD.

It means SPEAKING TO ELEVATE...

Going UP, helping GROW UP, and going HIGHER!!!

Oftentimes, when we women speak up for the things we need it is seen as us "nagging".

Understand this sis...

I KNOW you're not nagging...

But you really are...

Because in our minds, we're just trying either accomplish a task or gain some type of understanding from someone and they're just TOO simple minded to understand our logic.

But we can help this...

And it comes from using our words coupled with our RESPONSES in our FEMININE energy that is going to help us...

These letters are what I consider actual physical "practice" in the training camp of our mind...

Because just like a boxer, before he goes into a big fight, he has practiced attacks and counter-attacks well.

He's went through training to learn how to expect and respond to WIN...

This is similar.

Only the expected outcome is NOT to "win" anything other than "understanding"...

These letters are REAL things I have written to my husband that he had NEVER read but I have used almost every word in our conversations with one another.

Because in times of chaise when the emotions are high, the bigger picture can get lost in translation...

Writing these letters oftentimes helped me sort out my thoughts and use my power of words to get to the base of how I was feeling...

It is my prayer that they can help you figure out how YOU'RE truly feeling so that you can go into the "dojo" in your own mind and be able to practice communicating better.

These are practical applications...

So don't just READ them sis...

DO them...

And watch how it helps you get your voice back and let go of resentment and FINALLY get to YOUR happy place!
