Notes from Dietta…
No matter how hard we try not to, we women get tangled up inside of our
relationships. At any given time we can find our lives seemingly off
balance because someone close to us just isn’t acting right. We worry
and fret over our in-laws, siblings, parents, and kids. We can even lose
our footing because the clerk at the grocery store was having a bad day
and we took it personal.
For some reason God has chosen to use the people in our lives to shape
us and mold us and make us what He wants us to be. This is why it is
important on our journey to balance to get in the habit of stepping back
and seeing the lesson in each of our relationships. People come in and
out of our lives for a reason. In a balanced life it is to give and to
receive.
I have been blessed to learn many things from the various people who
have come into my life and those who have left it. Some things I’m still
learning. Some things I haven’t got a clue.
In this month that we celebrate the loves in our lives I thought it
would be appropriate to examine not only romantic relationships but also
relationships we have with other people. In this issue you will find
articles that can help you strengthen and nurture the relationships in
your life.
February is also Black History Month, if you would like to learn more
about black history you may visit http://www.blackfacts.com where you
can sign up to receive a free fact on black history every day or simply
research an event. Also, please be sure to ask for the new Breast
Cancer stamp at the post office the next time you need stamps, I have
heard that if all of the stamps are sold there will be $35 million
raised for research.

Feature Article
Dealing With Difficult People
By: Dietta L. Stewart
We all have them. Those people in our lives who get under our skin,
those people who can cause us to come unglued with only a look or and
off-handed comment. Those people who can make us loose our joy and say
things we’d wish we never said. Those people, you know, difficult
people.
I have lain awake many nights because of difficult people. I’ve been
frustrated, confused, hurt and angry because of difficult people.
Haven’t you?
Difficult people are everywhere. You might find them in your home, on
your job, in your church, or at the gym where you work out. You may run
into them in the store or at your child’s playgroup.
Since there’s no way of getting around them the better thing to do is
to learn how to deal with them. I haven’t mastered it yet, but here are
a few things I have learned.
1.When we are having a hard time with a difficult person in our lives
we can ask ourselves what it is within us that makes us lose it with
this person? What is the nerve they step on? By doing this maybe we
can learn the lesson they have come in our lives to teach us a little
more quickly and move on.
2.We can take back the power we have given this person over us. When
we are adults and someone is able to make us act in a way we don’t want
to or can cause us to feel badly about ourselves then we have given them
power they shouldn’t have. To bring balance and peace to ourselves we
need to take back the power that belongs to us.
3.The last thing we can do is to try to see them through the eyes of
love and not through the eyes of hurt or pain. We can say a prayer for
them, even if we don’t feel like it at first, we probably won’t. And
even if they never change, we will and we will be able to move on with
our lives, growing and prospering all the way.
