A Woman’s Sweet Lemons Life, Love and Personal growth This is an inspirational story of a woman who chose to rise above her misfortunes and live her life to the full, despite the challenges she faced. The old adages, “When life gives you lemons, make lemonade,” and “When people throw bricks at you, use them to construct your empire” and “sticks and stones may hurt my bones but talk can never hurt me,” have never been more applicable, relevant and appropriate. All cultures should embrace the fact that there is a paradigm shift in as far as how women should be treated in the home, in business, at the work place, in the community and in society as a whole. Failure to recognize, acknowledge and adapt with this shift is tantamount to being left behind while the whole world moves on. Whether we are young or old, misfortunes are a part of our lives. Misfortunes are to our lives as lemons are to our taste buds. Lemons are bitter but depending on how you use them, they can help to make an otherwise non appetizing dish look very appealing and taste very delicious, resulting in A Woman’s Sweet Lemons.
