Conversations
Do you remember when you were a young girl? What was that like for you? The experiences, memories, and the conversations that filled the atmosphere in your home.
My childhood was filled with going to the beach most weekends, Disneyland, Knott's Berry Farm, friends and family, it was very consistent.
As I grew to be a young lady, I remember my mom talking to me about drugs. "Don't use them. Don't go near them. Don't have any association with them." On and on the conversation went, at least 10 minutes.
For sure, I am grateful, as I never had anything to do with drugs. It's good to thank our parents for these conversations as they have taught us 'right ways'.
Today's conversations unfortunately do need to include, "do not tolerate domestic violence." Some people don't know what that is, good for them! I say good for them because they've been well protected through the years.
Domestic violence is not good to hear in any conversation. It is important, however, to verse communities about the topic. Nobody wants to talk about sex either- one hears giggles or dismisses the subject all together. Well, if the subject isn't talked about, quite frankly, babies are born (yes, sweet babies are born every day, aren't they?). There are obviously more issues involved in this area other than conception that people need to stay clear of without exception.
Take the time to educate. The conversations are a must to make a historical difference, changing statistics, and saving lives with intervention and prevention from domestic violence. It's necessary and mandatory.
An elevator pitch is 30 seconds or less...remember to take the time to speak life to her than makes a difference. Probably will take more than 30 seconds, but, you saved a life.
