Real Women

With the fast paced, high-tech entrance of the new century, common sense seems to be slowly sliding into the background. It’s not surprising that we, a lot of times, run in circles like a dog chasing its tail, desperately trying to find some balance. Uncommon Sense breaks the complex into the simple. It is a reality check that allows us to discover what really matters most in our lives.

We all wish we had more control. When our relationships are strained, when our bodies refuse to cooperate, when the future is uncertain, control promises security and peace. If only I were in charge, we dream. And this illusion seems more attainable than ever. Technology, science, medicine, and the internet all promise us ever-increasing mastery over our world. The problem is, control is a "devil's deal." The more we seek it, the more it betrays us. In place of predictability, it gives us anxiety. In place of certainty, it creates more complexity.

Perhaps the biggest secret - the open secret - is that men and women are very different, especially when it comes to what they find "hot" or a "turn on"...both in and out of the bedroom.

If you are an overweight woman, it's natural for you to try to be thin in a hurry. However, scientific proof shows that people, especially women, who burn fat little by little and steadily (shedding about one to two pounds per week) are more likely to keep their weight off. Attaining a healthy weight does not just consist of a quick and easy "program" or "diet". It's creating a lifestyle that requires long-term habits in daily diet and exercise.

We know our lives should reflect Jesus. But if we’re being honest, there are days when we face tough, confusing things that can make us feel, well, not like Jesus. As our culture moves further from truth and grace, Christians are unsure of where to turn for sound biblical advice that applies to their everyday struggles. If you’ve ever felt this way or wished someone would talk about things like forgiveness, mental health, broken friendships, church hurt, and more in honest, down-to-earth terms while sticking to what Scripture has to say about them, you’ve come to the right place.

Based on extensive research and workplace experience, The Female Vision demonstrates that what women perceive in organizations and beyond that goes unnoticed and unrewarded is exactly what so many companies need to succeed.
