How often have you heard the following words,

We respect women.

We encourage women.

We hold women in high regards. After all, you created us.

Think about it. Were you involved, when a small or big decision was taken. Were you consulted?

What would you like to be – a goddess, influencer, change-maker, decision-maker? What gives you real power?

Your decision-making powers indicate your real place in the family or organisation.

Anything else is hogwash, an eyewash to make you think you are appreciated.

Women, get out of traps….

It takes an army of brand strategists, stylists and sponsoring designers, to take them where they are, and to project the image that they wish to convey.

Dressing Right is an art and science, and yet, not rocket science. The whole concept can be summed up in 7 elements of style, for an average person.

The Magic of Neutrals

Sunday Writing Prompt – Great Balls of Fire

Michael's avatarMorpethroad

When it happened, it astounded everyone.

Not again was the cry around the room.

Poor Cousin Harry had gone up in a ball of fire.

It wasn’t until Harry’s dust was cleared away that the talk turned to “Have we got a problem as a family?”

This was because we all remembered Uncle Cedric going the same way. Was there a genetic issue with us all?

Those of us who were there on the two occasions recalled the moments before both men went up in their respective balls of fire.

Harry had coughed a few times, stretched his collar and remarked that his feet felt unusually hot.
