We woman love handbags and shoes, and you know I love a deal. This is one I have been saving up for.  So, for as long as I can remember I have wanted a certain type of handbag.  It is one of those that woman covet.  Lucky and cherished is the woman whose man buys her one.  It is like the finest diamond.     Berkins Are Like Diamonds

The man, who knows women, knows the importance a good pair of shoes and a handbag of quality mean to her.  The shoes make a statement of who she is and how she feels. But the handbag says the quality of her being.  The fabric she is made of.  What is important to her, to him to them as a couple as individuals.  Can she be bought for a price and if so what is her price?

I believe if you are a woman who likes good things and this doesn’t mean you are materialistic, you treat yourself with the respect you deserve.  You know the difference between a man of quality, moral and standards and a man who just wants a good moment.  It all is about how “He” treats us.  Isn’t it?  They can give us all the greatest things in life but make us pay for it in other ways.  Or they can be true in both.  Treat us good in both areas. For this type of man we are more than a trophy wife.  For this type of man we would be his mate rather than his ride.

 Recently, I discovered that I was important myself, and am important to others.  Self respect when you have been hurt is of the utmost importance.  We can all choose to live in the painful moments in life or we can choose to rise above.  Handbags are just one of those things in life we can use to express ourselves.  Quality, standards, integrity, honesty, morals, beliefs all of these things are expressed in our being and in the manner in which we conduct ourselves.  Some of us are civil, some pray, some gossip, some shop, some choose plastic surgery for their bodies, some of us just internalize things we shouldn’t in the hope we will be blessed, or it is the only cooping skill we have.  All of us women have different coping skills, some learned behaviors and some created by life circumstances.

One of my coping skills is to purchase a new handbag or shoes.  “Walk a mile in my shoes.” I always say before you judge me.   After you walk that mile, if you’re for me stay with me if not get out and return the money and wear and tear of that mile walked, so I can afford a new handbag and a new pair of shoes that were town while you walked that mile with me judging me.  The handbag I purchase will carry you in prayer I hope will be blessed in your life.

What does your handbag and shoes say about you?
