strong woman
Posted by Michelle Moquin on February 17th, 2011
Good morning!
I find it interesting that people, including my mother, view me as a “strong woman”. Although I think when my mother says that I am a “strong woman” she pretty much thinks this: “Michelle is strong. She is a woman who is in control of her life and knows what she wants.”
Well….that is one definition and definitely can be part of it, but it is not the totality of what being a “strong woman” is all about. It is so much more.
I perused the net looking for the definition of a “strong Woman”, and found several. But they never quite said enough…they never quite lived up to what I thought a definition of a “strong woman” should be. Until I found this:
how to be a strong woman
Being a strong woman is not about physical strength, rather mental strength. In today’s society, the weak are prayed upon and often targeted for emotional abuse in different ways. While life is full of crisis that will eat up and prey on the weak, it is important to find your inner warrior. When you become a strong woman from the inside out, it gives you a fighting chance to survive any crisis that may come your way.
Instructions: Difficulty: Challenging
- Believe In Who You Are -Believe what you have learned throughout your life, and have found to be true. As long as the foundation in strong, then those shall not be able to tear it down easily. Never allow others to tell you who you are, believe in yourself and who are you as a person.
- Know You’re A Beautiful Person -No matter what anyone else thinks or says, know that you are beautiful. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and what is beautiful to one may not be so to others. As long as you know you are a good person from the inside out, then that is what truly matters.
- Stay True To Yourself -You should always stay true to what you believe and to who you are as a person. You are who you have to look at every morning and night, so make sure it is a reflection you want looking back at you. If you can honestly look at yourself and be proud of it, never allow anyone to make you feel bad for it.
- Become One Who Overcomes Obstacles -This one is very important, you do not want to be the victim all the time, so rise above the obstacles in your way. Become someone who can see the good in your battle over anything. Whatever comes your way be sure you can see your way out of the situation and make yourself better because of it.
- Be Brave -You have to stand guard for what you believe in, no matter who disagrees with it. Some people may see things in a totally different light then yours, and respect them for it, but don’t allow them to pursway you from your beliefs.
- Take Control -Be the one who guide others in the right direction. Never allow yourself to fall behind the cracks, be the voice others listen to. Make sure you stand up straight for what you believe in and can back it up with the knowledge needed.
- Don’t Let Anyone Define Who You Are -You should never allow anyone to define who you are as a person. When you allow someone to define you as a person, then it leaves you at their mercy. You must be able to stand as strong woman on your own and never rely on others to tell you what a great person you are. As long as you feel it from the inside it will show on the outside.
************
So…do I view myself as a “strong woman”? At times I feel I am some of these and more, but certainly not all, all of the time. At times I am a babbling baby. But can’t that be a part of it too? “Strong women” cry too. And when they pull themselves out of it, at least for me, I feel that all of the toxic thoughts, and feel-sorry-for-me feelings get washed away, and I am left with clear (albeit red:) eyes and a pristine positive perspective.
I actually sometimes feel like I was born again. And I attach that feeling not to any sort of religious experience at all. It is just a feeling of “Ahh…I feel cleansed and clear. I made it through; I can deal with this.” And I literally feel stronger. If you ask me, crying is a great release that is underrated. I partake in it quite often. :)
“A strong woman is one who feels deeply and loves fiercely. Her tears flow abundantly as her laughter.”
Readers: So…what do you think? Do you agree? Do you have any additions? Love the instructions – pretty clear on how to get there. And yes, and the level of difficulty definitely can be challenging. But we women are strong.
We have to be strong.
“A strong woman is in essence a gift to all the world”
I’ll end my write with this poem that I found that I liked too:
woman of strength
but a woman of strength kneels in prayer to keep her soul in shape.A strong woman isn’t afraid of anything,
but a woman of strength shows courage in the midst of her fear.
A strong woman won’t let anyone get the best of her,
but a woman of strength gives the best of her to everyone.
A strong woman makes mistakes and avoids the same in the future,
but a woman of strength realizes life’s mistakes can also be God’s blessings and capitalizes on them.
A strong woman walks sure footedly,
but a woman of strength knows God will catch her when she falls.
A strong woman wears the look of confidence on her face,
but a woman of strength wears grace.
A strong woman has faith that she is strong enough for the journey,
but a woman of strength has faith that it is in the journey that she will become strong.

Avoid Microwave Toxins
Frederick vom Saal, PhD
University of Missouri
Even “microwave-safe” products release the toxin bisphenol-A (BPA) when heated.BPA has been shown to cause neurological and developmental damage in laboratory animals.
It is found in hard clear plastic, the linings of metal food cans, trays for frozen food, microwaveable soup containers and plastic baby-food packaging.
Researchers are especially concerned about how the chemical affects fetuses and newborns, whose systems are not fully developed.
Manufacturers have begun to remove BPA from their products. In the meantime, do not microwave or heat food in any type of plastic container.
Personal interviewed Frederick vom Saal, PhD, curators’ professor of biology and researcher, University of Missouri-Columbia, Columbia, and leader of a study of leaching of bisphenol-A from products, published in The Journal of the American Medical Association.

HI Misch, love this one…I like your mothers definition, and the one written below it, I know that the women I admire (including moi) all have some or all of those defining qualities.
I wish I cried more, I just go completely silent and straight faced, I think a quick and dirty cry would just move it all along faster and maybe I’d be cleansed of the loop of garbage that might be playing in my head (or maybe I shoudl learn to share my thoughts better, I do often suffer in silence thinking I’m ‘handling my own problem’) I’m going to try the crying thing…more…
Craig, thank you, that article is a perfect example of what I’m talking about…I love Ben Affleck (Matt Damon) too, these two are so hot in their ability to grasp the situation and maybe they can affect some change out there in the man world.
Padma, excellent point, I like to point out to my pals who are mothers of sons to teach them to respect all women not just you (that’s lining up some poor female for a controlling mother-in-law) or they will have misplaced gender values. And, depending on the mother and her ‘needs’ he could end up F’d up for life, I know I seem to attract males who have had mothers who rattled their brain in one way or another. I’m not totally sure what that’s about…I have my theories though…
Anon 17, lovely poem, wish your name had a z on the end bc then I think it’d be written for just for me : )

If any of you are dealing with those gangsters Called Wachovia Here’s some interesting information about that Mob of Criminals.
=================
Wachovia Lawsuit Alleges Bank Knew of Fraud
Date Published: Friday, February 8th, 2008
Wachovia Bank—the nation’s fourth largest—was accused of allowing fraudulent telemarketers to use the bank’s accounts to steal millions of dollars from unsuspecting victims in a 2007 lawsuit.
Bank executives maintained that they were unaware of the thefts, but in newly-released documents from that lawsuit, Wachovia had both long known about allegations of fraud and had actually solicited business from companies it knew had been accused of telemarketing crimes.
Internal Wachovia email revealed high-ranking employees warned colleagues about telemarketing frauds routed through its accounts.
Documents also indicate Wachovia was alerted by other banks and federal agencies about ongoing deceptions, but that it continued to provide banking services to companies that helped steal as much as $400 million from unsuspecting victims.
Despite this, Wachovia continued processing fraudulent transactions, earning large fees every time a victim spotted a bogus transaction and demanded their money back.
One company alone paid Wachovia about $1.5 million over 11 months. “We are making a ton of money from them,” wrote Linda Pera, a Wachovia executive, about a company later accused by federal prosecutors of helping steal up to $142 million.
The lawsuit alleges Wachovia accepted fraudulent, unsigned checks that withdrew funds from victims’ accounts, forwarding them to other banks unaware of the frauds, which then sent money to swindlers.
A Wachovia spokeswoman said the bank was not currently working with telemarketers, would review future clients who work with telemarketers, and would reject any client solely focused on telemarketing.
In the last three years, government agencies have sued several companies accused of routing telemarketing thefts through at least nine banks, including Wachovia, the largest company named in those lawsuits.
Wachovia and most other banks accused have never been publicly fined or prosecuted by federal regulators, so some victims have turned to private lawsuits.
The suit alleges Wachovia’s involvement with telemarketing thefts dates to 2003 when Wachovia was warned by another bank that AmeriNet tried to process over $100,000 in improper withdrawals.
In 2005, a Wachovia fraud investigator wrote to colleagues that 79 percent of the checks submitted by Suntasia had been returned because of unauthorized withdrawals and other problems.
Regulators say return rates over 2.5 percent indicate potential fraud. Wachovia continued doing business with Suntasia until last year when the company was shut down by court order.
Executives at other banks, including Bank of America, Wells Fargo, Citizens Bank, the Social Security Administration, and the Justice Department Federal Credit Union warned Wachovia multiple times that its accounts were being used for fraud.
In 2006, an executive at Citizens wrote that thieves were routing unauthorized checks through Wachovia that stole from Citizen, but Wachovia kept that account open until it was frozen by federal court.
A Wachovia spokeswoman said in every case where a bank complained, an investigation was opened and some accounts were closed. Court records show many of those accounts remained open for years after complaints were received.
“These types of crimes only are possible because banks tolerate them,” said U.S. attorney Patrick L. Meehan, who prosecuted a payment processor accused of using Wachovia accounts to steal over $100 million.

I suppose if you can just pay off one party, you can do anything to the people.
I marvel at how dumb some of us can be. Who but the filthy rich would support the republican party.
Oh, yes, the racist element of my race. Talk about acting in your own worst interest because you are a bigot.
If Wachovia Bank didn’t have the Republican Party in their back pocket, they would have been charged in federal court as Racketeering Criminal Enterprise and those statutes would have been used to prosecute them.
But they had powerful Republican Senators on their payroll. So they could continue being an active criminal concern.

I HAD AN ACCOUNT WITH WACHOVIA BANK AND WAS ONE OF THE PEOPLE THAT WAS TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF THROUGH THIS SCANDAL.THE SCANDAL THANK GOODNESS ONLY TOOK A SMALL AMOUNT OUT OF MY ACCOUNT BUT ALL THE SAME IT WAS STILL MY MONEY.
I BELIEVE THAT MANY CUSTOMERS PUT THEIR FUNDS IN THE BANK BECAUSE THEY FEEL SECURE AND PROTECTED AND MUCH EASIER TO HANDLE THEIR MONEY.I FEEL AS THOUGH I WAS ROBBED JUST AS IF SOMEONE HAD STOLEN MONEY FROM MY OWN HOME OR EVEN MUGGED ME IN PUBLIC.
I GIVEN WACHOVIA MY SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER,MY MONEY AND ALL OTHER PERSONAL INFORMATION ABOUT MYSELF AND FEEL SWINDLED.I FEAR THAT I AM NOT SAFE ALMOST LIKE A FALSE SINCE OF SECURITY.
I FEEL THAT ALL OTHERS AT ANY TIME CAN FIND MY PERSONAL INFORMATION AND TAKE MY IDENTITY.WACHOVIA I BELIEVE WAS IN FEAR THAT THEIR BUSINESS WAS GOING DOWN HILL AS OPPOSED TO OTHER TOP BANKS SUCH AS TD BANK AND PNC ETC.
I AM PRESENTLY UNEMPLOYED AND PROBABLY WITH OTHERS WHO WAS TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF AND I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WILL WE GET GET REFUNDED HANDSOMELY DUE TO THEIR GREED,WHEN WILL THIS CASE END,WHEN WILL WE RECEIVE MONEY,DO EACH INDIVIDUAL GET TO SPEAK ON THEIR BEHALF OR WILL OUR LAWYER SPEAK ON OUR BEHALF.
I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO KNOW BECAUSE THE ECONOMY IS ALREADY MESSED UP WHEN PEOPLE ARE LOSING THEIR HOMES LEFT AND RIGHT.

How long does a bank have to keep orginal withdrawal slips to keep them from changing amounts. I bought a CD on 9/22/2008, day before Wells Fargo purchase.
I believe they forged my withdrawal slip(cut and pasted signiture on new form and then destroyed orginal) used to transfer funds from checking account to Cd.
They lowered amount of Cd thus saving money since interest rates went down over 2% in just a couple of weeks.
This could of happened to others but will not be fully know until cd maturity dates later in year since they did not inform of change of cd value. People might show up and find Cd is worth less than stated amount.
They stated that mistake was caught and corrected overnight but now state it was 18 days giving time for switch. At first I thought it was just simple entry error but after reading all negative stuff about Wachovia I am not sure.
It could be a Wells fargo business model to lower high legacy interest fees. after hours and hours of work, they have refunded amount of interest I lost in switch.
I also recently made a rather large deposit from another bank and they put a week hold on check. Later upon withdrawing funds they put a reversal on check. Their reason was signitures did not match. One was written and other printed. This works as a good excuse. Thanks Bob Ruddick

To Robert Ruddick – A bank has to keep records for 7 years (usually stored @ Iron Mountain). As far as the others that left comments, well: you will not get compensated (unless you are a bank employee) but then again as an employee you are not allowed to overdraw your account!
So kinda a catch 22 even though my boss went negative quite a few times before every payday (AGAIN WE SHOULD ALL REMEMBER THAT THE 700 BILLION WENT STRAIGHT TO FOREIGN CORPORATIONS AND THE 787 BILLION OR THE SECOND BAILOUT WENT TO NOTHING BUT BANKS) WHY?
Has anyone ever thought to stop and THINK A LITTLE BIT? HOW IS IT POSSIBLE TO GIVE AMERICA A DOLLAR BUT EXPECT US TO PAYBACK ONE DOLLAR PLUS INTEREST????

And for those of you dealing with Wachovia on the Loan modification plan, how about these crooks.
Beth M Says:
October 27th, 2010 at 9:32 pm
Wachovia Representatives are committing fraudulent transactions, They told me, I qualified for a temporary modification-I had to prove for three months to pay $1,500, I told them, I am paying more than that now for over 4 yrs. they tell you, you have to go through the process in order to qualify for a permanent modification-
They assure you, the difference will go to the end of the loan, they assure you it does not go on your credit, you are in an agreement with Wachovia, we are here to help you–in reality they are getting you into a RE-PAYMENT PLAN-but never mention or disclose this information–
They stole $6,500-I was so upset–I had to borrow money,to keep my home from going into foreclosure-I had a lump sum payment of over 11,000-all representatives kept telling me, I’m sorry you were given the wrong information-you are in pre-forclosure!Its a scam-Beware!
I’m telling everyone I Know, so it does not happen to them-I am still working on getting refunded-compensated.
It is so wrong! This is a very brief summary of what took place, I FELT I asked all the right questions-and still was robbed.

It was Ronald Reagan who deregulated the banking industry right down to removing criminal checks on applicants who wanted to open banks.
Why do you think that buffoon did that? Just look at all the new bank owners and what the old banks learned they could now do after the deregulation?
Just about every new owner had some shady scam history. Most of the banks that started under the new regulations were and are little more than criminal enterprises operating under the protection of Reagan’s deregulated scheme.
Why do white people like the party so much. Oh, yeah, it is for white people. Maybe someone should tell my people it is not for just any white person only the very, very rich.
Although I don’t think this will matter to my uncle he seems to think he will be joining those ranks anytime now.
But then again he has been saying that for 40 years.
But that carrot keeps him going and he keeps supporting the republican party.

Hey, these banks steal billions and settle by paying back a few million here or there. Take Wells Fargo they got the billions that Wachovia stole and only had to pay a bank back not any of the millions of customers Wachovia robbed.

Wells Fargo To Pay Citi $100M To Settle Wachovia Lawsuit
| 11/19/10 01:35 PM |
NEW YORK — Wells Fargo & Co. has agreed to pay $100 million to Citigroup Inc. to settle a dispute related to its acquisition of Wachovia Corp. in October 2008, at the height of the financial crisis.
Wachovia was teetering on the brink of collapse from bad real estate loans when it initially agreed to be bought by Citigroup in a deal supported by the U.S. government. Days later, Wells Fargo swooped in with a sweeter deal and snatched Wachovia away from Citigroup. An irate Citi sued Wells soon thereafter, leading to the settlement announced Friday.
Citigroup, in its lawsuit filed in the New York State Supreme Court in Manhattan, accused Wells and Wachovia of breach of contract and sought $60 billion in damages.
The loss of Wachovia provided a window into Citigroup’s own weak position at the time. In the weeks following the deal, Citigroup itself was brought to its knees as losses from bad investments mounted.
Citi took in a total of $45 billion in bailout money from the U.S. government. The government has been reducing its stake in the bank this year, but still owns about 12 percent of Citigroup.
The $100 million settlement represent a small fraction of the earnings and cash hoard of San Francisco-based Wells Fargo, which is one of the largest banks in the U.S. Wells earned $3.15 billion in the third quarter and had $16 billion of cash on its balance sheet as of Sept. 30. Its shares edged up 2 cents to $27.53 in afternoon trading Friday.

So how do you like that white boy justice. They get to steal $billions. No one goes to jail and they only have to pay back less that 10% of the money they stole.
An OTW steals $100.00 and he gets 20 years. Must pay back the money with interest and if it is his third strike, life without parole.
Has anyone been counting all the different Wachovia has been caught stealing? Well at least the thieves are white. So my white brethren must not feel too bad about the outcome.

Wyoming sends abortion bill to farm committee. ‘Men think we’re livestock?’
This, from the Rachel Maddow Blog, regarding the battle over abortion rights in the Republican-controlled Wyoming legislature.
When we left off, the small-c conservatives of the Republican Party, led by strong-spoken, small-government ranchers Reps. Sue Wallis and Lisa Shepperson, had voted down a bill seen as restricting abortion rights. But then the same guy who’d introduced the first one came out with a second, slightly modified bill. The small-government Republicans couldn’t vote this one down, so Rep. Wallis amended it into something, as she told us at the time, that she didn’t like but believed she could stand. This modified bill passed the Wyoming House and it was on to the state Senate. Now Representative Lisa Shepperson, a rancher and mother-to-be, e-mails this update:
“After passing the House…..HB – 251 has been passed to the Wyoming Senate and has been assigned to our Standing Committee – Agriculture, State and Public Lands and Water Resources!! Yes….our Ag Committee!! Now, we realize that sometimes bills get assigned to strange committees due to work load, etc, but that is NOT the case here. It has been assigned to this committee to try to make SURE it comes out and goes to the floor.
Needless to say, Sue and I and quite a few other women legislators are furious! I guess maybe some of these men think we are livestock!?!?! I am a 5th generation rancher and am used to dealing with livestock and the issues with them….so it will be an interesting committee hearing for me. By the way, Sue is also a rancher….both her and I have spent our lives on issues dealing with ag. We just never dreamed we’d be in the Ag Committee dealing with this issue. We are strategizing now….trying to decide if we should show up to the Committee Meeting with our cow-bells on and mooing! The bill is tentatively scheduled to be heard on Thursday afternoon, upon adjournment.
We just wanted to update you on the status of this ridiculousness. Thank you for your time.”
Cattle planet, indeed.

Good blog today Michelle. There’s strength in sharing your vulnerability and admitting to the crying. It is a cleansing release, isn’t it? I don’t think men can really understand the power of the tear.
I want to share two of my favorite quotes regarding strong women—
1) There is in every true woman’s heart, a spark of heavenly fire, which lies dormant in the broad daylight of prosperity, but which kindles up and beams and blazes in the dark hour of adversity.” -Washington Irving
and
2) A woman is like a teabag, you never know how strong she is until she gets into hot water.” -Eleanor Roosevelt

It seems that the lessons to be learned here is NOT to cow down to the republicans in the first place. Why women think they should accept any restrictions on their bodies by men is beyond my ability to understand.

Suzy, you are my kind of woman. My mother, bless her heart, was full of that kind of energy.
She needed it to because she was sold to my dad as a second wife when she was 11. We were Tennessee hillbillies and she was pregnant at 12 and was forced to have 9 more. I was the third. She was sold because she learned to read and her family felt that she would be trouble.
She taught us all to read and 3 of us went on to college. Most of us married half brothers or sisters or cousins and stayed on the patch of land we were born on.
I escaped and I work as a architect in Kentucky. I was raised to hate the law and niggers. I have learned that the law is here to see that everyone has justice.
Your words inspire me to want to do what I can for women. We certainly had no respect for them in Tennessee. It seems that we only have a bit more here in Kentucky.
We do have a lot of show of respect, but when we men are alone, women become just cunts to hunt.
I am ashamed that I don’t have the courage to speak up. Ida, gave me this blog site 4 months ago. I check in on occasion.
Today was one.

Adara, my heart and thoughts go out to the women of Bahrain and all of the middle east, I scanned several channels in the early hours this am, there’s massive rioting everywhere and very few women to be seen or heard from. I wish you all the best, you are much stronger than I, then again, I don’t know how I’d be until presented with the circumstances. I’ll say that you are all much stronger than most women without a doubt.
Kent, women all might be the hunt of the cunt, nice play on words there, but I’ll tell you that I have been in the room when women have discussed males in a just what’s under that hood of his kind of way…both are pretty vulgar but it is what it is.

Hey Kent. Dude! I know Suzy. I doubt she is a woman after your own heart.
We can all appreciate and mayhaps empathize w your upbringing but
I notice in your writing your reconciliation w the law but not the “nigger” term you casually throw out there. I’ve heard her say more than once the dark the berry the sweeter the juice.
So while you may have crossed oceans overcoming your upbringing you’ve still got a few rivers to forge
Hey that’s what life is about. Growing learning representing. This is Suzy

This is my first time posting(love the word). I had to after reading that exchange between Charlie and Suzy.
Whatever you guys are smoking, I’m from the City and I’m definitely up for it.
Oh and Kent, I guess when it came to the evils you were exposed to in Tennessee, you left the incest, but you kept the rest.
I have been up in the Tennessee Appalachia. Some of the people there are pure inbreds. I never saw any blacks or other races but whites when I was there.
Where were the blacks you learned to hate?
Also, if you don’t have the courage to speak up when your fellow male companions are downing women. Why not just leave the room or conversation. Do it enough and they will get the message. But to sit quietly and just condone the behavior is pathetic.
