 Memoir Of A Jaded Woman Tainted-Love

The amazing stories that many women have the courage to  share with me, led me to write about their obstacles in hopes that other women will find encouragement through their trials.

This article involves stories about women who have overcome heartache and unthinkable tragedies in life through the power of compassion. Their stories have been released in the mainstream women's book entitled, 'Memoir of A Jaded Woman,' By Author Emunah La-Paz.

Women juggle a lot in life. The demands of motherhood offers the fulfillment of loving a child. Many women have the responsibility of raising many children while holding down a career.

Some women who raise their kids, unknowingly look for an outlet in which they expect their children to fulfill their needs for self-esteem. Eventually the child grows up and breaks away in search of their own independence.

Some women look for self-esteem through their career, when disappointment sets in they loose their identity, a characteristic that was never fully developed from the start.

There are women who look for fulfillment through physical beauty, their idols are alter egos promoted through an illusion manifested by the media; and other women look for self-worth through broken relationships.

Perhaps the best source of fulfillment is through the understanding of your fellow women.

Leah was the oldest daughter of Laban, a resourceful farmer, and Rachel was his youngest daughter.

At the time a man named Jacob was living with Laban. Jacob had fallen in love with

Laban’s youngest daughter Rachel, and desired to marry her.

Deceitful by nature, Laban veiled his oldest daughter Leah, who was unattractive.

according to Jacob’s standards.

When Jacob had found out that it was Leah underneath the veil instead of Rachel, he was upset. Laban explained that due to tradition the older daughter must marry first.

Nonetheless Jacob’s love for Rachel was strong, in which he agreed to work for Laban for seven years to have Rachel as his wife.

Once the agreement was fulfilled Rachel became Jacob’s most beloved wife. However the tension between the two sisters sharing one man was discomfiting.

This self-conscious feeling between the two sisters hindered their relationship.

How many times have we watched talk shows or reality shows which exploit women fighting over a men?

The public seems to take great interest in watching women turn on one another.

When All Fails Practice Humility

Till death do us part, does not have to be a life sentence, not according to a stunning woman named Sherry, who adorned piercing-blue eyes, similar to that of the legendary film star, Bette Davis.

Sherry met her husband Barry at the American Legion Bar in Chicago.

Sherry was not interested in her husband to be at the time. Barry seemed to have issues in which Sherry could sense a mile away. Barry's determination to build a relationship with Sherry became a reality, in which the two were married and eventually, they  started a family.

The marriage was not what Sherry had envisioned and she was not -living the life she had imagined for herself. In her mind, Sherry & Barry were not meant to be.

Barry had a drinking problem which dominated the relationship to the point in which Sherry had to pack up the kids and leave, as she feared for their safety.

 Sherry was faithful during this time in her life, she worked three jobs, to support her children. Through dedication, Sherry was able to raise her children, and through humility she was able to build a friendship with her estranged husband up until his death.

By the grace of Humility, Sherry was able to clothe herself with compassion for a man who had seemingly given up on himself. Humility can go a long way.

Sherry's Advice: Take charge of your own life.
