Happy Father's Day from Daddy's Girl

-

"Daddy's Girl"  The first time someone referred to me by that name I kinda got upset. I knew they were calling me a spoiled little Princess.

Well yeah! I am the daughter of a King!

When a daughter is brought into this world, the father's life changes forever. After only a few minutes in his arms, a deep, loving bond is formed. He knows he will spend the rest of his life loving her more and more every day.


The sole purpose of a father is to teach his daughter about unconditional love. It is in the eyes of her father that a daughter sees her beauty and her worth! It’s his love that will sets the template for what she expects from men.

Here are some of the things a guy should know when they are fortunate enough to have a Daddy's Girl!

1. A Daddy’s girl has learned how to be treated by a man.

If there is one thing her father taught her from the moment she was born, it’s how to be treated by other men. If you mistreat her, watch out. She will kick you to the curb so fast your head will spin.

2. A Daddy’s girl trusts her father more than she trusts you.

She’ll confide in her boyfriend when things go wrong. Her father taught her that it's okay to trust men. Never breach that trust or you’ll be gone.

3. A Daddy’s girl is use to working hard for what she wants.

When her father spoiled her she was being taught that she deserves a happy life. She has seen her father work hard his whole life and she inherited his work ethic.

4. A Daddy’s girl has high standards and will not settle.

Her high expectations are based upon years of being treated with respect by her father, who has constantly told her to never settle.

5. Accept the fact that you will always be number two to Daddy.

Her father is her role model and you will never replace him.

6. A Daddy’s girl talks about her father a lot.

When she talks about her father, she is talking about one of the most important people in her life. It is your job to just listen. Respect that, even if you disagree.

7. A Daddy’s girl won’t introduce the two of you if she doesn’t think he’ll approve.

Her father’s approval is one of the most important things to her. So if she’s apprehensive about it, give it time. She's really just trying to determine if you measure up.

8. A Daddy’s girl’s father won’t like you immediately.

Remember, her father is a man and he knows how men think. In his eyes, his daughter deserves a perfect person. And even if you come close to his expectations, you'll never come close enough.

9. A Daddy’s girl has already picked out the song for her wedding day.  

There is one song on this planet that can make her cry. It is the song she danced to at her daddy-daughter dance stepping on his feet as they danced.

10. A Daddy’s girl has holds tight to her lifeline.

The thought of living without her father is unimaginable. He will always be her first love…her first HERO!

Do you know your WHY?

This is not just a catchphrase for the next, “Tens Steps to a Better You!” conference!  Knowing your "Why" is Critical !   Why are you doing what you do?  Why are you working at “that job” ? And please don’t say for money! Why are you an entrepreneur?   Why do you spend so much time at the gym?  Why did you choose to serve in ministry? What is your Why?  Is your Why or your actions stuck behind the dreadful:  “I should”,  "they are expecting me to”,  “If I don’t do it then who will?”    How about this one, “It brings me satisfaction”!   Well, that sounds like a good reason, doesn’t it?  No, it is not!   Because when the satisfaction runs out; when it becomes too much trouble to maintain or you realize it was a temporary placebo... you will give it up!  Now you have lost the one thing in life you will NEVER get back. TIME! Time is the most precious commodity you have. Don’t waste it.  “ Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of

An Open Letter to My Mother - Revised 2-21

Mom, it has been 15 years since you passed on to glory, and this year it feels like yesterday.  I still reach for the phone to call you about a new restaurant, a new outfit, and your new great-granddaughters. This world is so different now.  Of the many things I miss,  your counsel is at the top.  There is so much rage in the hearts of people. As a nurse, you worked for over 30 years in the mental health profession.  I remember you often said, if the government did not address mental health in America we be looking at a total breakdown of society.  Mom, we have mass killings in movie theaters, nightclubs, and even elementary schools.  The first question asked, “Was it a hate crime?” Well it wasn't love! This world is so different now.  There is this thing the young women are always talking about: Haters/Hating.  I don't understand it; I didn't grow up seeing this.  I remember Aunt Martha, Mrs.Snow, Mrs. Ivey, and your friend of over 30 years, Lizzy.  I only knew wom

Wounded Woman Warriors

My favorite action movie of all time is ‘Rambo 1 st Blood’ .   Rambo was some kind of warrior!  One that they had never encountered before.   What I remembered the most, this warrior was in the fight of his life, not because he decided he had an enemy, but they decided “he” was their enemy! He became wounded so many times during this fight, yet he could only stop long enough to stitch up his own wounds.   Far from being healed,  he knew he had to find a safe place to stitched himself up long enough to fight another day! Women, once a month we have a experience be it moderate or severe how to physically and emotionally “endure”, “manage” or "ignore" PAIN. It is just how we are created. "Wounded Women Warriors” , I must say there is a time we must come in from the battle.  Not just to stitch up your wounds, but it is time to really heal.     Why is this so critical?  Because many of us are in active ministries, vocations or leading corporations, yet we are ser
