What's on your mind?

I saw a really cool hair color I want to try.

@cara-mia I haven’t been blonde in years! I think its time.

This would take a year to do to prevent frying. 3 colors. Fab to the bu!

HR time, bro. She's asking inappropriate questions, then getting mad at your answers and making scenes in front of your coworkers. It's time to take it to HR. She is escalating and they have to see that.

As a man I am nervous to go to HR. She could easily make up stuff about me to HR in retaliation and as a woman I fear she'll be believed over me.

I fear the place might be riddled with Covid soon. Probably best to look for new pastures.

Black french manicure. She’s using a gray base with a black and white tip.

While this color is absolutely fabulous, I’m not partial to blonde. I feel it’s an over done color. Society as a whole has deemed that the color to have but I think brunettes are so much more beautiful. Even making the browns multi-tonal.
You have such a beautiful face and skin tone, I think it would wash you out?

I love my dark tresses. The lone reason it could work is the mixture. I can’t go warm (like Beyonce). There’s too much coolness (hair, eyes and undertone). I’d look awful. I’m a winter. Contrast is key. That’s the main aspect.

The roots are dark. That grounds the look. Most of the hair is dirty blonde with a smidge of gold at the top (framing her face) to make it pop and avoid washout. She did a shadow root balayage. You can see the toning.

The stylist killed it! The hue is hard to nail. It usually looks flat like you said.

You ladies are talking about all this beauty and makeover stuff that we folks from the X-Y pairing of the human species just cannot understand. ^-^

I'm sorry! I had a moment and wanted her input. That's a dramatic shift. My norm is like my avatar. Classy with lots of contrast and red lips. It looks great. Hence her comment.

Nothing to apologize for. I just wanted to make a light joke about the ocean of differences between my gender, and yours and the good Cara-mia's.

Speaking of, Miss @bèlla , did I ever tell you about one fond memory I have from six or seven years ago, when a lady doctor got me pretty good by making light of the stereotypical way that men act? She was the chiropractor I resolved to go to for help when I had totally messed up a move in taekwondo class and ended up with chronic back pain as a result. On my first visit, when she asked me if I knew when these problems began, I confessed that after performing a move in such as clumsy way in class so as to bring a sudden pain into my back, when the instructor and classmates asked me if I was okay and needed to stop for the day, I had to play it cool and continue class to the end, ignoring the pain, and that I was fairly certain that I wouldn't have to be seeing a chiropractor now some months later had I just been honest and went home immediately to rest instead of further straining myself. And I said, with a smile, but, you know, Doctor, I'm a guy, so I just had to tough it out and not feel like a wimp backing out of class and all.

So she playfully rolls her eyes and replies, obviously just joking and wanting to put me at better ease, "Oh, you men. How ever have you managed to survive this long as a species?"

I don't know why, but I find that a fond memory. I think in today's society when so many men and women seem to seriously be against each other as a whole, especially in the dating world, it's nice when you can find people who can still innocently joke with each other about the negative stereotypes that their gender is plagued with, such as when the lady doctor scolded me for trying to act so tough in the face of potentially lasting pain from an injury, or when I once made fun of you here a few weeks ago by going "Ugh ... girls ...." in response to you talking about clothes shopping or something.

Well that was different...

They had me administer my own covid test.

First time that happened... usually they shove an overly long Qtip down my nose.

No, you never told me.

Yeah, I know what you mean. Sometimes I think I’m in the wrong decade. I’m fond of the opposite sex. That’s pretty peculiar now.

We should form a club for comrades born in the wrong age. Maybe there’s a few of us.

I'll say though.. this woman is making me pretty angry today just thinking about her. With my hangover it's not helping my headache.

Spent most of the weekend trying to focus on other things.

I heard this today...

When you realize who you are, you find it much easier to see who other people are and begin prophesying their identities and destinies over them.

That’s a great nugget to hold onto.

@cara-mia,

This is too unreal to withhold and a blessing for those who grasp it. Do you recall my words the other day? I believe.

......

If you are praying for a loved one who’s not yet saved, stop talking about what you see. Don’t complain about their attitude or their skeptical views. That just reenforces the lie. The more you judge them with your words and the more you declare those things you see in them. The more you build a wall that makes it difficult for them to come through.

Instead, speak creatively. In order to open a way for them to come to God’s presence. See them as God has called them to be. See what He is doing in them. See how they are so full of love. How they have completely reordered their priorities.

How they are passionate about Jesus. Let your respect for them rise within you. Thank God for what He’s doing. As you begin to believe it; also begin to declare it. Then whenever you do interact with them, you’ll find yourself filled with hope.

Instead of encountering your judgment. They will begin to sense a way they might come into what you are seeing. Given if they aren’t aware of what it is.

The more you call things that aren’t as though they are. The more you begin to see them in their true reality. Do everything you can to avoid the kind of temptation that comes after we’ve made our request to God.

You’ll notice obstacles and contradictions to your answer. You’ll easily recognize the problem. But do not declare everything you see with your natural eyes or reasoning. Do not prophesy the problem. Prophesy the solution. The promise; the answer that is coming.

Even as you speak it, hope begins to rise in your heart. Faith attaches to it. And you become a vessel for establishing God’s will on earth.

......

This is so deep. The layers are laid out. I am certain of three things from this piece:

• I have my assignment. What we witnessed wasn’t by chance. Nor is the change I felt.
• The answer is coming. Its time to stand and declare what I was shown.
• You’ve lived this and needed a reminder. Your word of the year is in this message.

@Endeavourer,

Thank you for posting the article. It confirmed the advice I received from the married women I met while working on a book launch regarding happy marriages. The timing is perfect. This is the Lord’s doing.

I’m placing this here so others may be edified. Thank you again for sharing your wisdom.

Opposite-sex friends have an unusual opportunity to make massive Love Bank deposits. They can meet so many emotional needs that it's likely that they will breach the romantic love threshold — unless you do something to prevent that from happening.

Technically, all friendships make Love Bank deposits. But when an opposite-sex friend meets the most important emotional needs of affection (expressions of care and concern), intimate conversation(conversation about personal problems being faced, and topics of personal interest), recreational companionship (spending time together enjoying common recreational activities), honesty and openness(revealing personal feelings, past history, present activities, and plans for the future), physical attractiveness, or admiration (expressions of respect, value, and appreciation), romantic love is almost sure to follow.

Today was a better day. That woman worked somewhere else in the building.

Although it annoys me how my hair falls apart. I have thick hair and I'm trying to make it look as good as it can.. but it's so hard to hold up.. even though I bought hair gel. Probably have to get a haircut soon.

Still waiting on my Covid test results.
