It's Leap Day Ladies! Will You Be Proposing??

It's Leap Day, meaning that there are 366 days this year instead of the normal 365. Leap Year happens every 4 years. Leap Year comes with many traditions, however; there is one that many couples who have yet to be engaged may find exciting or scary.

Leap Day is a day where women are "allowed" to propose to men and are not looked at as being strange. I find this tradition rather cool. Tradition says that the ladies may pop the question, however if her love does not say YES, he must buy her 12 pair of gloves that she can wear so she will not walk around embarrassed that she has no ring.

Pros of Leap Day:

• Ladies you get to pick the ring so you know you will love it!!
• You get to create the dream proposal that you always wanted!
• You get to make your guy feel super special by proposing to him!

Cons of Leap Day:

• He just may say no.
• You get 12 pairs of gloves. (This could be a pro as well!)
• You have to now wait until he proposes to you.

Things to consider before taking the Leap:

• Does this tradition fit your relationship?
• Will your guy be happy or sad that you decided to propose?
• Will you truly be happy that you decided to propose?

 ****************

So I find this Leap Day tradition to be rather interesting. I think that if your bold enough and you know that your man will say YES, then by all means ladies get down on one knee and pop the question!!! Otherwise, at least you will have 12 pairs of beautiful new gloves, which I guess isn't a bad trade off, right?? lol

It's Leap Day ladies, so get the asking!! 

Did you "pop the question" and he said "YES"!!

::Week 3:: Love, History & Heart!

::: LOVE :::

Over the past weeks I have been learning about a different kind of love. We have all heard the saying "Love is Blind"...well I am here to tell you that true love is not! So today let's focus on what love really means!

What is Love?

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. 

~1st Corinthians 13: 4-7

Love one another every day!
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

::: HISTORY :::

Over the past week I watched the History Channel. The History Channel aired a show about Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s life & his dream.

         

You are living Dr. King Jr's dream. Continue to fulfill his dream and begin your own!
