Basic Tips for female safety

1. Put your phone into your purse or pocket when walking to your car. Honestly, the 3 minutes it will take to get to your vehicle are vital to your attention and you can check that phone when you are safely in your vehicle with the doors locked. (don't forget to check the backseat before entering).

2. Get your self an actual striking weapon and stop using your keys! Keys are not made from strong metal. Keys break all the time just unlocking things. Should your keys break during an attack, and you manage to get away from your attacker, you will not be able to drive away to safety.

3. Speak loudly. Attackers want easy targets, so making a scene WILL deter them. Use your voice! Repeat back to them what they say to you, and say it LOUDLY.

Remember, NOTHING is more important than your life. If they want your purse, give it to them. Everything inside your purse is replaceable, YOU are not.

Woo Hoo Wednesday!

I need to take a few minutes here and brag on my Bestie, Marcheta (pronounced Mar-kee-ta) who hit a sales milestone with her Thirty One business. For the last 9 months she's been battling metastatic breast cancer, surgery, radiation and chemotherapy and STILL managed to hit her goal of $10,000 in sales, a first in her 9 year career. Bravo my friend! This isn't easy for healthy able bodied folks, let alone facing what you have these last few months. You ARE an inspiration! My rock and SISTER in Christ, may this next fiscal year in your Thirty One business be yet another sales milestone. CONGRATULATIONS! Love ya Girl!
