Pick and choose wisely.
A long time ago I read something that really rocked my world and opened my eyes on something that I needed to have more understanding and wisdom in. Every person comes in your life for a reason, season or a lifetime. Now with this being said I often get confused or even hope and pray that someone is one or the other but then normally God sheds some light on my happy thoughts and shows me that the people I thought were lifetime were in fact seasons or even reasons. I have to admit that in the beginning of that realization I often end up hurt but that's my own doing.
But when God reveals what people are in your life it takes so much off of my heart. So when you have people in your life, guard your heart, they may be there for just a season of life, maybe there is a specific reason they are there and then they will be gone and then when you are blessed to find the few people that God gives you for a lifetime, love them, cherish them and hold them close. As iron sharpens iron a friend sharpens a friend. Don't throw your eggs in baskets with holes.

Why yes we CAN have fluffy delicious bread!
There you have been warned!
Notice the smaller print?
Yammie's site has a MUCH better and in depth breakdown for this recipe and you can find that
But here are the ingredients and recipe break down.
The Best Gluten Free White Bread
3/4 cup warm water
1 1/2 tablespoons active dry yeast
3 egg whites
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup olive oil
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
2 cups Tapioca Flour
1/2 cup Brown Rice Flour
1/2 cup Potato Starch
2 teaspoons Xanthan Gum
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
In a large bowl combine the water and yeast. In a separate clean bowl, beat the egg whites to stiff peaks. After one minute, add the brown sugar, olive oil, and vinegar to the water and yeast. Once the egg whites are stiff, slowly pour in the water mixture while continuing to beat on medium speed. Mix together the flours, starch, xanthan gum, salt, and baking powder and add to the wet mixture. Beat for one minute until smooth. Pour into a well greased bread pan. Let rise in a warm, moist place until doubled (about an hour). Score the top if you want with a sharp knife. Bake at 350ºF for about 45 minutes. Allow to cool before cutting (if you can bear the suspense). If you're not going to use the bread immediately, you can freeze a sliced loaf and just get out a slice as needed and let it thaw on it's own, in the toaster, or in the microwave. If you don't freeze it, it will dry out in a day or two.

"Flaky" Buttermilk Biscuits
We make this quite often in our home and they are incredible. The tapioca flour leaves a bit of a bitter taste in your mouth but its not horrible and its definitely worth it. They do not "fluff" like regular biscuits do so make sure you make them very close to the size that you would like them to be in the end. Also some times we brush them with butter while baking and they turn out incredible. We have tried multiple different ways either by dropping balls of dough or rolling out and using a cookie cutter to make a round biscuit shape. Try them both ways and see which you like best. Enjoy!
"Flaky" Buttermilk Biscuits
10 minutes to make
Serves 12

- 1 cup tapioca flour
- ½ cup sweet white rice flour
- ½ cup white rice flour
- ½ cup potato starch (I sub cornstarch here because I cant have potato)

Simple and sweet.
I FINALLY got around to making a craft that I have had on my wish list for quite some time now. They are simple and sweet little hanging candle holders. I made five of them to hang on our back porch for when we are relaxing in the hot tub. I miss creating things and allowing that part of me to work. I am excited to get back in the swing of things. Wait till you see the Christmas presents I am working on.

Oh the roll of sticky lovliness!
Here it is ladies and gentleman my very first tip and trick goes to the cleaning department!
A lint roller to clean lampshades!
I had a friend helping me clean my house that's been a professional home cleaner for years! She saw me trying to clean my lampshades with a rag and said... Do you have a lint roller? Roll those bad boys clean. It was life changing!!! In seconds all the dust and cat hair was gone. Just be careful the first time to see how your shade handles it. I have one that is textured and it's too powerful and lifts the shade off its base but the others takes me literally seconds to clean now. FYI it also works on different surfaces like curtains so try it around your house see what other difficult to clean things it will work with. And if you don't have a lint roller use duct tape rolled into a ring on your hand. I hope this helps save you some time. Are there any other uses, other then the obvious, that you use your lint roller for? I would love to know. Leave a comment below :)

Best Gluten Free Brownies Yet!
For all of my chocolate loving and gluten free friends this recipe is the best I have found but keep in mind they are VERY rich and NOT at all healthy. So if you make them be sure to share with neighbors, friends and family. They also freeze very well.
Gluten-Free Fudgy Pecan Brownies
Skipping wheat flour doesn't have to mean forgoing decadent baked goods. These rich, nutty brownies are irresistible -- and easy to make.
prep: 20 minstotal time: 50 mins
- yield: Makes 16
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces, plus more for pan
- 1/3 cup cornstarch (spooned and leveled)
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (I prefer them without the cinnamon)
- 1/2 teaspoon fine salt
- 12 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup chopped toasted pecans (or nut of choice...macadamia was great)
Step 1Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly butter an 8-inch square baking pan and line with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang on all sides. Whisk together cornstarch, cocoa, cinnamon, and salt. In a large microwave-safe bowl, microwave butter and chocolate in 30-second increments, stirring each time, until melted and smooth, about 2 minutes. Stir in sugar and vanilla. Stir in eggs, one at a time, until combined. Add cornstarch mixture and stir vigorously until mixture is smooth and begins to pull away from side of bowl, about 2 minutes. Stir in pecans.
Step 2Pour batter into pan and smooth top. Bake until a toothpick inserted in center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached, about 35 minutes, rotating pan halfway through. Let cool completely in pan on a wire rack. Using paper overhang, lift cake out of pan and cut into 16 squares.

Is a universal or multi tool as good at performing as individual specialist tools? Convenient yes, a long term solution... no It is true that no man is an island. When starting out in business as well as running and growing your business, quite simply you cannot do it on your own. You need trusted business advisers. But there is a problem. No one is truly "independent" no matter what their beliefs of education.

Starting your own business
Recently one of my daughters asked if a friend of hers could meet me to talk about setting up her own business. Of course I said yes, but it got me thinking.

This article is based on the initial questions I was asked. The real question when thinking about starting a business is "what don't I know" or the "don't know what you don't … [Read more...] about Starting your own business
Training Courses – On or off site?
Where to Train - On-site or off-site? One of the most common questions asked by people new to training is "which is better... on or off site training?". Unfortunately there is no single right answer but the following may help you in your decision for a given course or programme. Generally speaking the more "training"/ direct job related the activity then being "on-site" has its advantages of associating the learning with the work place.

- 1/3 cup honey
- 2 eggs
Add in:
- 1 cup shredded coconut
- 1/2 cup crushed walnuts

- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon maca powder
Pour into a greased 9 inch pan. Bake for 30 minutes or until slightly browned on top.
Here are some variations you can try:
- Double the shredded coconut and decrease the flour to 1/2 a cup.
- Replace eggs with 2 tablespoons ground flax seeds soaked in 2 tablespoons of water for 10 minutes
- Replace sprouted spelt flour with whole wheat flour OR 1/2 cup of whole oats and 1/2 a cup of oats ground in the food processor.

- Replace chocolate chips with cacao nibs, slivered semi-sweet chocolate chunks, and/or white chocolate chips
- Add 3 tablespoons of cocoa powder
- Increase the maca powder to 2 or 3 tablespoons
- Replace walnuts with macadamia nuts and/or cashews
- Add a tablespoon or two of dried cherries
Now I'd love to hear from you.

The Student Engineering Council (SEC), a student organization affiliated with the Cockrell School of Engineering at The University of Texas at Austin presents annual teaching awards to a faculty member from each of its departments annually. The 2010 winner from the Department of Mechanical Engineering is Senior Lecturer Billy Wood, one of the four graphics professors teaching ME 302 and 210. The CAD drawing and drafting class is a required course for all mechanical, civil and aerospace engineering students. Mr. Wood has been teaching in the Mechanical Engineering department for 30 years, and has garnered several awards for his outstanding work.
The Student Engineering Council hosted a festive awards ceremony on March 3, 2010 in the tenth floor conference room in ECJ. Council members, student nominators, Dean Fenves, the award recipients and the department chairs were all in attendance. Each winning faculty member was introduced with an appreciative speech by his or her student nominator. Billy Wood was introduced by Collier Miers, a junior in Mechanical Engineering. After the awards presentation, a tasty fajita dinner was served to everyone in attendance.
Below is the transcript from Collier Miers' speech
Professor Wood won this award because he genuinely cares about his students. I started the spring semester last year looking forward to Introduction to Engineering Design and Graphics, because honestly I was ready for a break from classes that were a never-ending cycle of equations and advanced math. I quickly found that even though this class might provide a refuge from free body diagrams and property tables, it was going to be challenging. Professor Wood took his time explaining techniques carefully and doing examples for us, but somehow I just could not make the lines that I drew on my paper look like his. He would patiently explain how I might improve my drawings and over time I came to truly enjoy and look forward to his class. He would meet with me separately from the class time and talk with me to make sure I understood the material and to ask about my other classes, to see if they were also going well. Professor Wood helped show me how to more efficiently study and cope with the difficulties and stresses that come to define engineering students' lives. That advice has been invaluable to me. I finished the semester and knew I was going to miss his class.
Professor Wood, with his characteristic smile and all around positive attitude, is a good man and an amazing professor. I know what an influence he has been in my academic career thus far, and I know he will continue to enrich the lives of everyone around him at this University. Thank you Professor Wood. Congratulations.

I haven't been a very romantic guy in a long, long time. I pride myself on how pragmatic I am. I love my wife truly, and take pride in our relationship. It's a very realist relationship. We look out for each other, we pick on each other, and we talk things through. Neither of us have our heads floating in the clouds, and I love it that way. Sometimes I make a romantic gesture for no other reason than I know she loves it! But for me, I've little interest in romance.
A lot of guys are like me, and I think I know why. For the last 8 years, I've been slowly working on a novel that is loosely based on some terrible experiences I had about 8 and a half years ago. It is not an autobiography, but fiction loosely inspired by real events. Heartbreak is involved, and seems to be the apex of the story. I write of a character loosely based on me, named Henry, and a female character based on a girl I used to know, named Annabelle. When I first started writing this 8 years ago, those feelings were still so very fresh. Henry, you see, is deeply infatuated with this Annabelle whom he barely knows. He's got it bad…really bad! When I wrote of it 8 years ago, I could still get those warm, fuzzy feelings. I'd also get the anger at what followed, the most severe heartbreak Henry will ever experience, the kind of loneliness and depression I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy.
Now, all these years later, happily married and truly free from all of that, I get something very different. I do not hate the girl who inspired Annabelle, but honestly, the thought of having any romantic feelings for her now just about made me vomit on my keyboard. I recently remember a mushy, romantic story I wanted to include in this novel. Here, I'll copy and paste it for you…
We walked through Kensington Gardens, as I held your hand. I told you of Peter Pan as we approached his statue, and you were moved. Your heart was warmed and your cheeks flushed. I looked into your eyes and you into mine, and I slowly pulled you close. As our eyes gently closed, my lips began to meet your lips, and our hearts raced. As we began to kiss more deeply, it began to rain. We were so deep into each other's embrace, the rain continued as did we.
I just typed this about 30 minutes ago, and it was painful. I was not feeling any desire to have Henry walk with Annabelle, or hold her close, much less kiss her. Ewww, yucky, pitooey! I felt something in my chest area, but it wasn't my heart pounding. It wasn't butterflies in my stomach. It was nothing short of disgust. It's not just Annabelle, it's the whole idea of falling "head over heels" in infatuation (so often mistaken for love). It's the same reason I hate chick flicks.
I think that many guys who hate romance, hate it because in the past, romance got them seriously hurt. Guys don't like being emotionally vulnerable. There's no strength in talking about how you were heartbroken. But there is strength in scoffing at romance. Part of the reason I so rarely show such romance towards my wife is because I consider what we have to be real, while what Henry has with Annabelle is all just fantasy, based on more fantasy that blended into real life. When fantasy and real life get too close together, terrible things happen.
So ladies, if you and a man are deeply in love, and he makes too few romantic gestures for your liking, keep this in mind. He may love you in a way that is very real. He likely associates romance with something or someone from his past that he does not want to associate with you. Don't get me wrong, you deserve some romance. Just like you do things for him simply because they make him happy, he should do the same for you. But if it's only on special occasions and every now and then "just because", know that he doesn't love you any less. I don't know you or your particular situation. But what I present here is just a possibility. The best way to find out, is to just talk to him about it, one to one.
P.S. I know you like that Sheldon and Amy image!

How to Be Emotionally Independent
Explore this Article Accepting Yourself Changing Your Thinking Living Independently Questions & Answers Related Articles References
There are 6 references cited in this article, which can be found at the bottom of the page.
Being emotionally independent and resilient is an integral part of being happy. When we depend on others for our sense of self, we never truly know who we are. Fortunately, by accepting ourselves, modifying our thinking, and taking active strides to be true to who we are and who we feel, we can find that inner sense of peace and independence we've been looking for. And it all starts with Step 1 below.
Part 1
Accepting Yourself
1Identify the benefits of self-acceptance. The primary purpose of self-acceptance is to learn healthy techniques that will help you to heal and allow you to let go of unpleasant memories and traumas. The ideal goal is for you to have healthier interactions in your present life. Other benefits of practicing self-acceptance include:
- More self-confidence
- Decreased anxiety and depression
- Less self-criticism and guilt
- Increased awareness of yourself
- Increased self-worth
- Improved sense of inner peace
2Reflect on the reasons you are judging yourself. Take some time to yourself to figure out why you are having a hard time accepting yourself. Try meditating, journaling, or just sitting in a quiet place for a while and thinking about your reasons for judging yourself. Try to identify whose voice you are hearing when you judge yourself as well. For example, do you hear your parents, your partner, your friends, or someone else?
3Reframe the past. Let's take parents: most of them aren't that great. Are they not that great because they don't love us or we don't deserve affection? No. Though as children, that's hard to see. They're not that great because they have no idea what they're doing – they're trying, but they're only human. Instead of blaming them (or an ex, for example) for your pain, reframe it. See that they don't deserve anger, hate, or resentment. At worst they deserve pity; at best, compassion.[1]
- Whether you're 7 or 70, you've probably had relationships that have left you a little worse for the wear. You might have a tendency to take every failure/argument/disappointment/rejection personally and tally it up in your own mental notebook, coming up with a number to equate to just how valuable you are. That has to stop immediately. The past is in the past and it's going to stay there. It has little significance.
- Learn how to carve out time for yourself within the context of a relationship, by developing your own interests and hobbies and regularly spending time with your friends and family. This will help you to remain independent in your relationship in a way that's healthy for you and your partner.
4Forgive and forget. This is an integral step in the accepting yourself and reframing the past idea. When you don't hold grudges and stop taking things personally, you're left with an organic, untainted version of you – an emotionally independent and resilient you. And you'll be happier, too!
- The next time you catch yourself being upset with someone, realize that it has nothing to do with you. It's them making their own decisions, and you have no control over that, which is fine. This is one trivial moment in the scheme of your life that in short order will be completely forgotten about.
- That being said, this doesn't mean that some people should be let off the hook. Forgive them, forget the behavior, but modify your expectations. Was your friend an hour late to your lunch date? Noted. Next time (if there is a next time), you'll know how to handle it.
5Spend time with yourself. When's the last time you had some free time to kill and didn't whip out your phone or otherwise distract yourself? You're constantly bombarded with stimuli, which ultimately prevents introspection and getting to know yourself. Starting now, take 20 minutes or so a day for some "me-time." Who's better company than you, anyway?
- In this time, watch your mind wander. Where does it go to? How does it think? Take note of just how fascinating this thing inside your head really is. What can you learn about yourself?
6Know who you are. Kind of like asking an ant to look in a mirror and say, "I'm an ant," isn't it? Well, in addition to the steps above and below, there are a few sticking points that apply to everyone:
- You are just as worthy as everyone else you know. There are not "better" humans; we all have good and bad qualities.
- You have talents and interests. What are they?
- You have thoughts and opinions. You have things you like and dislike. What are those?
- You have values. You have beliefs. What things/concepts/ideas do you hold as true?

Part 1 Quiz
What is one helpful step that you can take to be more accepting of yourself?
Part 2
Changing Your Thinking
1Test yourself. There are a handful of ways one can be emotionally dependent. The most common way is in a romantic relationship. We learn to depend on our significant other for affection, sex, approval, you name it. When it doesn't come, we feel we've done something wrong or we're somehow less valuable. How are you emotionally dependent? Romantically? With friends? Coworkers or your boss? With every person you meet? Think about a few of the following things to pinpoint what areas you need to work on:[2]
- Do you get jealous easily? Do you compare yourself to others so much that it can ruin your day?
- Do people often fail to meet your expectations? Who does this most often?
- When you're alone, do you seek out others just to feel okay? Does a void spring up when you're not with others?
- Does your partner or the idea of a partner mean happiness to you?
2Take responsibility. When we blame others, they're at fault. Therefore, they become the only ones who can fix the problem. Terrible. In order to take control of your thinking and emotions, you've got to take responsibility.[3]
- This forces you to become reliant on yourself for a solution. Instead of wallowing in misery, you think about what options you have at your disposal to improve the situation. This gets rid of those negative emotions that well up, too, forcing you to be more logical and feel more in control.
3Stop and reflect the next time you get offended. Just for a moment. Why get all worked up? This is just a person who is passing judgment and criticism. It is not the end of the world, nor is it even particularly remarkable, likely. Everyone does it. Why give them the satisfaction of caring? It's just not worth it.
- Remind yourself that you don't have to react the way you feel inclined to. It may seem as if the natural, human way to respond is by being upset, but that's hardly your only option. You could be angry, you could be sad – or you could note it and move on. After all, there's no benefit to being angry or sad, is there? What'll it get you?
4Realize that happiness is only inside you. Quite literally. Serotonin and dopamine are what you really enjoy. If you wanted to condition yourself to feel ecstatic at the sight of brown carpet, you could. Brains are funny little creatures like that. In other words, you decide what makes you happy and it has nothing to do with the outside world. It comes from within – you can't find it out there.
- In case it wasn't clear, this is very, very, very good news. You have control over all your feelings! You are at the whim of no one! Every emotion you want to feel, you can. Every emotion you don't want to feel, you don't have to. Happiness is just a decision away.
5Do your best not to overcompensate. There is a fine line between being emotionally independent, and well, a jerk. Some people get so caught up in "being true to them" that they step all over others in an effort to assert themselves. Keep in mind that this is not an excuse to be a bully and to always get your way. You can be kind and considerate while still being true to you.
- Most people who stomp all over others are trying to thwart their inner feelings inadequacy or unimportance. They don't feel of any value on the inside, so they force their "value" on others in an effort to convince themselves. This isn't being emotionally independent – it's straight up being rude.
0 / 0
Part 2 Quiz
True or False: You cannot be kind to people and also be assertive.
Part 3
Living Independently
1Decide for yourself. The next time your friends are sitting around the table badmouthing the latest movie or complaining about pseudo-liberals or even gossiping about a friend, instead of letting them shape your opinions, decide for yourself. How do you feel? Why should their opinions have any weight on yours?
- Try this in tiny ways, too. The next time you want to check out a cafe or a movie or a shop, etc., and you've heard pretty mediocre things, go anyway! Other people sometimes just don't know what they're talking about.
- When you have decided for yourself, work up to speaking out about it. It's possible other people feel similarly but are too shy to say anything! You may also bring up a good point that no one else considered.
2Say "no." The next time you have an opportunity to do something that you just don't feel like doing, say no. Not only do you not want to partake in this activity, but it's totally fine if you don't live up to others' expectations because it doesn't bother you. Listen to your gut – it's often right.[4]
- There's a fine line here, however. Should you skip your best friend's wedding because you don't feel like it? Probably not. Should you avoid the mandatory work meeting because you're feeling lazy? Nope. In other words, know how to pick your battles.
3Learn to fix your own problems. Nowadays, we live in cultures of millions. We have so many resources at our disposal that we don't have to do a thing ourselves. We get our cars fixed, our plumbing fixed, our computers fixed, our health fixed – the list goes on and on. Unfortunately, that takes away from our resourcefulness and our sense of responsibility. In order to not depend on others, we've got to fix our own problems.[5]
- So the next time you're feeling down in the dumps, take it on your own shoulders to do something about it. Spend the night doing something you really enjoy, treat yourself to retail therapy, or, heck, just relax. When you're successful, this can show you that you have the power to make everything better, not other people.
4Expect little from others. There's a line from a James Bond theme that says, "Arm yourself because no one else will save you." It's a little cynical, but the idea is true: we're all humans and at the end of the day, we have to be selfish and put ourselves first to be happy. Everyone else does it, so you can, too – without feeling any guilt.
- Keeping this in mind can help you from getting your hopes up and then being let down. When you have few expectations of people, it's easier for others to meet them. And it'll be easier to notice who still struggles meeting your lack of expectation and who consistently rises to the top.
5Hang out with different groups of people. When our entire lives revolve around a small group of people, it's hard not to think that their opinions couldn't move mountains. To widen your world and take the importance off their opinions, hang out with more people! Having a wide social network is good in fair and foul weather, too.
- All humans have to attach themselves to things. It can stink, because it means our emotions are at the whim of other people and other things. The key here is to not overattach yourself. It's a fine line that only you can find. The best way to do this is to spread yourself between different people and divvy up your time accordingly.
6Do your own thing. This is what it comes down to: you are your own person and therefore you're going to do your own thing, whatever that means. When you find who you are and stick to it, no one can stop that inner sense of happiness that'll prevail as a result.[6]
- People who genuinely stick to who they are a rare breed. It shouldn't cause judgement – it should inspire. People will see that you are your own fountain of happiness and wish they were the same! While some won't be able to handle it, they're not the ones you want to be around anyway!.

Part 3 Quiz
What are some things you can do to be a more independent person?
Community Q&A
QuestionHow can I become less mentally dependent on someone?Tasha Rube, LMSWTasha Rube is a Licensed Master Social Worker in Missouri. She received her MSW from the University of Missouri in 2014.
Licensed Master Social WorkerLicensed Master Social WorkerExpert AnswerStart by asking yourself what areas in your life you feel you are emotionally dependent on other people. Then, ask yourself WHY you have felt the need to remain emotionally dependent on another person. Then, start by showing gratitude for yourself and the environment that you helped create. Realize that when you allow others to take control of your life, you are devaluing who you are as an individual. Set your intention to choose a life you wish to live and learn to love who you are.
QuestionHow can I stop being so emotional around my friends?Tasha Rube, LMSWTasha Rube is a Licensed Master Social Worker in Missouri. She received her MSW from the University of Missouri in 2014.
Licensed Master Social WorkerLicensed Master Social WorkerExpert AnswerTry to be more mindful and aware to the times you get increasingly emotional? What was happening at the time? What was being said or happening between you and your friends? Why is it bothering you that you are reacting with increased emotion? Recognize the things you are and are not able to change in your environment at the time, and try to take more control of the situation. Finally, do not let others take control of how you feel if it is bothering you.
QuestionI get jealous easily and I compare myself to others and feel bad about myself, how do I overcome this?Community AnswerRemember that everyone has insecurities, even the person you're jealous of. Try to redirect these feelings inward and examine what about yourself makes you feel this way, and address it. Think about your best qualities, and the things in your life that you are grateful for. Someone else may look like they have it all together, but you never know what's really going on. Be happy with what YOU have.
QuestionHow do I learn to love myself?Community AnswerInstead of focusing on things you think you are not or wish you were, pay more attention to all that you are. You don't have to be a great singer or athlete or society's idea of perfection to be a great human. Every human is different which is why we are all worth it. No one is exactly like you so be proud of the little things that make up who you are.
QuestionHow do I handle negative things in my life?Community AnswerTry not to take things personally; accept that bad things will happen to you inevitably throughout your life, but it's not like there's some force out to get you. That's just part of life. The key to accepting it is to just live in the present -- the feelings will pass with time. Remember, our thoughts are under our control. You may find that practicing habits like meditation will help you.
QuestionIs emotional dependency on your kids particularly bad?Community AnswerIt depends on how much you emotionally dependent on them. If you are obsessed with them and won't let them be themselves, then that is very bad. If you think you slightly are dependent on them, that's fairly normal. Just remember to give them some space, and to not always be dependent on them. Remember that one day they are going to be grown up, and when time comes they might even get married.
QuestionHow can you accept your parents criticism without taking it as an answer?Community AnswerAgree to disagree. Understand that they want to help. You could thank them but let them know you can handle the issue on your own. If you think you can't, ask for their support.
QuestionHow do I become independent as a housewife?Community AnswerRemember that the housewife is pillar of the home. You must handle the needs of your kids, husband, extended family, etc. so never underestimate yourself and value the work you do. If you value your own work, others will too. Pursue a hobby to retain your individuality and Independence apart from your roles in the home.
QuestionHow can I achieve emotional independence while battling mental illnesses such as anxiety and depression?Community AnswerI've been there. In my experience, the more you practice emotional independence, the less hold your anxiety and depression will have on you. Keep reading the above article, and any others that you find that are helpful. Try meditating and make sure to take time for yourself, meditating, walking or sitting quietly in nature, journaling, etc. Remember, no one else can control your mind. Be patient with yourself. Don't expect quick results; allow yourself to be human.
QuestionHow can I let a friend down easily?Community AnswerLet him understand your point of view in a diplomatic way, and make him feel loved and appreciated by being really apologetic when you have to let him down. Make sure you convey that the situation was beyond your control and you had no alternative but to let him down.
- Consider your past mistakes as learning experiences. Do your best to avoid making the same mistakes again.

Snowed in at a castle full of handsome lords, three young ladies are about to have the holiday of their lives… From the authors of At the Duke's Wedding.
Map of a Lady's Heart by Caroline Linden
The road to happily-ever-after… With Kingstag Castle full of guests and the snow falling, Viola Cavendish has her hands full making sure the Christmas house party runs smoothly. The unexpected arrival of the Earl of Winterton and his nephew Lord Newton upends everything. Not only is Lord Newton flirting with the young ladies Viola is supposed to chaperone, Lord Winterton himself makes her pulse race.Always takes some twists and turns Wesley Morane, Earl of Winterton, has come to Kingstag Castle in search of a valuable atlas, and he refuses to be deterred by the snow, the house party, his nephew, or even the most ridiculous play ever staged. But before long the only map he wants is one that shows him the way to Viola's heart…
Hot Rogue on a Cold Night by Maya Rodale
Jilted by a duke: Lady Serena Cavendish was born and bred to be a duchess. Too bad, then, that the Duke of Frye mysteriously and suddenly ended their betrothal. Seduced by a Rogue: Greyson Jones, an agent of the crown, is the only one who thinks being jilted has made Serena more alluring. When he lucks into an invitation to a Christmas house party at Kingstag Castle to cheer her up--and perhaps find her a husband--he seizes the opportunity to win her heart before they might be parted forever. On the way to the altar: Their journey to happily ever after involves a ridiculous play, a lovesick swan, a mysterious gift and, of course, a kiss.
Snowy Night with a Duke by Katharine Ashe
The last time Lady Charlotte Ascot bumped into the Duke of Frye, she climbed a tree to avoid him. Sometimes it's simply easier to run away than to face her feelings for him -- overwhelmingly passionate feelings that no modest lady should have! Now, on her way to Kingstag Castle to celebrate the holidays with friends, Charlotte is trapped by a snowstorm at a tiny country inn with the duke of her steamiest dreams. But Frye has a secret of his own, and Christmas is the ideal time to finally tell the woman he's always wanted the whole unvarnished truth. Better yet, he'll show her...
Hot Rogue on a Cold Night by Maya Rodale
The most interesting thing that had ever happened to Lady Serena Cavendish was being jilted by Horace Breckenridge Church, the Duke of Frye, to whom she'd been betrothed since birth, practically.
By all accounts, she was an excellent match: a classic English beauty of rank and wealth, exquisitely mannered, a sterling reputation, talented in all the ladylike arts, and essentially born and bred to be a duchess. It was a known fact that ladies of such qualifications got married, not jilted.
But as a jilted woman, Serena now had an aura of tragedy, an air of mystery, and a whiff of scandal. As such, she had finally become interesting.
This was according to one Mr. Greyson Jones, a close personal friend of the Duke of Frye. Mr. Jones was widely reported to have remarked, "If you ask me, Frye dodged a bullet by avoiding a match to Lady Serena. I know, she's a perfect lady, but she's a little too perfect. This will make her more intriguing, now, don't you think?"
Serena longed to point out that no one had asked him, least of all her. For that matter, she had not aspired to be interesting, she had aspired to be married.
And now she was still unwed and less of an excellent match.
Hence, this house party, in which she would celebrate Christmas and hopefully find her future husband.
The first guest was shown into the drawing room where she waited, seated elegantly by the fire where it was warm and where the light of the fire cast a flattering warm glow on her complexion.
Serena rose to greet him; her smile faltered when she saw the youngish man with sandy-colored hair, grayish eyes, and wide shoulders, which were lightly dusted in white snowflakes.
The words good afternoon died on her lips.
"Oh. It's you," she muttered in a rare lapse of manners. She refused to give much thought to the who and why and how this particular person could step into a room and make her forget years of ingrained etiquette. Recovering, she forced a smile and said most graciously, "Good day, Mr. Jones. Welcome to Kingstag. I trust you had a pleasant journey."
"Lady Serena. A pleasure. As always." His voice was low and he spoke as if savoring the words. Serena. Pleasure. Always. His eyes had the audacity to sparkle as he spoke.
"Is it really, Mr. Jones?" She was not convinced.
He gave her a wolfish smile.
"Whyever would you think it was not?"
