No Good Deed...

Feisty women, have you ever said,” No good deed goes unpunished.”? My former boss always said this when doing a good deed for someone never seemed enough for some people. He also reminded us that we should keep doing good no matter what. He was so correct. So, keep on doing good no matter what because it really is the right thing to do!

Let’s Walk and Get A Chai Tea.

Often when working, I took a much-needed break, went for a walk, and purchased a chai tea. On my return walk back to work, the tea was warm, sweet, and just the perfect treat. Even today in retirement, often I treat myself to chai tea. Some things never ever grow old. The time is now for chai tea.

Book 3, Teaser 4: Life After Mr. Wonderful

I continue my series of teasers about the third book in my series, “The Feisty Woman’s Guide to Surviving Mr. Wonderful…Feisty Women Helping Feisty Women.”  This book offers tips for feisty women who want to help their fellow feisty women deal with a less than “Mr. Wonderful.”

Tip “D”: Many feisty women struggle with this post “Mr.Wonderful” idea of dating.  Some say, “enough”; others say, “not interested;” and others say, “maybe.” If you are not ready to even think of dating, or just not interested, you might want to read the stories below and reconsider your initial reaction to this thought and this chapter. Hope springs eternal, as it did with these women. Just ask Christy, Lori, Stella, Sally, Dee, and Pamela.

Book 3, Teaser 3: Focus on new things, like taking a new class (or two)!

I am continuing my series of posts about the third book in my series, “The Feisty Woman’s Guide to Surviving Mr. Wonderful…Feisty Women Helping Feisty Women.”  This book offers tips for feisty women who want to help their fellow feisty women deal with a less than “Mr. Wonderful.”

Tip “C”: Your mind needs new things to focus on, so why not take a class? Maybe two classes? Just find a class that you will be interested, one or as many as you want! Meg and Cindy, Cathy and Mary, Erin and Michelle, and Elizabeth can offer their insights on taking classes and having a good time doing it!

Ask: How Are You? And Mean It.

Have you ever said, “How are you doing” and really meant it? I often get greeted with these words when I am walking or in a local store and by the time I can answer, the person has just kept walking away from me. Use these words only if you really want to know how someone is doing. They may just need your kindness and compassion on that day, so offer it to them.

Book 3, Teaser 2: Be Kind!

This is the second teaser for the new third book in my series.

Tip “B”: Be Kind. Even if they call you at all times of the day and night, arrive randomly at your door, or if you are in a bad mood or have had a rough day, be kind no matter what. These words are a great mantra for everyday life, but especially for your friend who is now breaking up and parting company with her “Mr.Wonderful.” Your friend just needs your kindness now more than ever and not ever a lecture.

Remember the words of Bonnie and Jane, Livy and Brenda, Janet, Kim, Bev, Peggy, Anne-Marie, and Caroline and how they were always there for each other.

Book 3, Teaser 1: Always Be There!

Tip “A”: Always Be There. If you promise a friend that you will always be there for them, simply be there. No matter what, be a true friend when your friend, who is going through a rather unexpected, mid-life break-up, needs you. Keep your word always. Read about Amy and Sherry, Abby and Beth, Clara and Leah, and Ella and Dori and how they were always there for each other in my next book.
