Love Number 4 the most. LMAO @ Hundred dollar Bils…

With that said. Once again..you’re right. I almost always have my mind made up about a decision…but you want you’re choices validated by friends sometimes…

Simone & TJ.

After long drawn out sessions of “why me? ” infidelity…I once had a ex-friend who “Marie Antoinette” me because I suggested that her husband did her a favor by leaving her. Not only did he leave her for another woman; but he had little respect for her, cheated on her several times; even spitting on her on front of her daughter.

True Story.

She flipped on me and said that I wouldn’t understand the investment of a 10 year marriage and that I wanted her to be alone. She also said that if I were in her shoes I wouldn’t be so quick to tell her to end her marriage.

Lesson learned for GT. Sometimes people only want you to tell them what they want to hear; and I stay as far away from those types as possible. They are scary as hell to me.

I share experiences and observations, but give no advice. If in the midst of sharing, someone can take something from my experience, that’s great. I am most receptive to people who share their stories and their life lessons because it’s not advice, it’s life. That’s different.

I don’t come to GT for advice. I visit because of what you share about lessons learned.

TJ.

My point exactly. And yes wise people are a blessing. The point of this blog is to emphatically go back to the source of what’s true for you. Of course throwing a couple of parties, eating fabu meals, traveling to unknown places and loving as many people as you can never hurts…

If I’m asked, I offer it. I also have learned to sit back and be more of a sounding board because why employ brain cells when folk know what they want to do? As far as receiving it, I’ve been blessed to have some really wise people in my life. I also have been blessed with enough common sense to let my conscience be my guide most of the time.
