So how do you define a “strong woman”? Is she the person who can handle anything no matter what the crisis is without breaking down or showing any sign of weakness? Or is she the girl who can deal with anything thrown at her but at the same time isn’t afraid to wear heart on her sleeve and show her weaknesses whenever they may surface? To me the latter is the stronger woman. I would like to think I am or at least aspire to be that woman. Someone who can go toe to toe with any man in any situation and hold her own without breaking down completely but also isn’t intimidated to speak up for herself when something might be bothering her. To me that is a strong woman. A woman who is confident and has the inner strength to realize that, yeah things might not necessarily be going exactly the way she had planned, but she is self-assured enough to know that she can handle whatever is thrown at her and pull through it with an even stronger sense of character and strength.

So what’s the secret? A thick skin? Positive thinking? Always being a “glass-half-full gal? If I’m feeling down in the dumps one day does that mean that I no longer demonstrate the characteristics of a strong woman? Is it in your genes? Can it be learned? Is asking too many questions a sign of weakness?

Okay, I’ll stop.

So what do you think? (crap, that was another question)

Peace

   I’d have to agree with you in regards to the truth of strong women - however, how many women actually let their guard down with just anyone?

   Now, to me, that’s a strong person no matter the sex.

   Great episode, Jill!
