True Grit

I come from a long line of gritty women.


My Great Grandmother and Grandmother were out there on the ranch and in the truck stop working right along side the men and didn't, "take nothing off of nobody." My mother put herself through law school while struggling to take care of us. I have strong willed aunts and cousins and nieces.  Being an independent, determined woman who wasn't afraid to forge her own way was nothing new to me; on the contrary, I was predisposed to it.

What You SEE You can CONCEIVE and ACHIEVE

Women who have positive role models growing up are more likely to achieve success in life. When they see strong women whose opinions matter at work and in marriage, that is the kind of relationships they will strive for as well. 

On the converse, if they grow up seeing a woman who is hit at home or otherwise mistreated; they are statistically going to recreate the same situation in their own life:

• Daughters of abused women are six times more likely to be sexually abused as girls from non-abusive families.
• Child victims of severe violence have two to four times higher rates of trouble-making friends, temper tantrums, failing grades in school, having problems in school and at home.
• Abused children are arrested by the police four times more often than nonabused children.

Regardless of whether you are an Investment Banker on Wall Street or a Stay at Home Mom in Bowling Green Kentucky, you are your children's first role model. 

How you allow other people to treat you and how much you contribute back to society will mold the kind of woman your daughter or kind of man your son becomes.
