Stuck on Stupid or Stuck in Stupid: (The 25 mistakes women make that prevent them from attracting and keeping true love) Is the partner book to: Think Like a Manand heres a thought: Start Acting Like a Man (The 25 mistakes men make that prevent them from finding and keeping true love) I have been pondering whether or not to write a relationship book for women for quite some time. After the release of my first novelTorn Between 2 Brothas and my first relationship book Think Like A Man, I received numerous e-mails and phone calls from women asking that I write a relationship book for them. Initially, I was taken aback because I never saw myself as a relationship guru. The irony is that Ive always been the girlfriend that everyone comes to when it comes to relationships. I dont think that it is because I have had the best relationships when it comes to men. Believe me; I have had a few that I care not to remember. I must admit, I kissed a few frogs before I found my Prince Charming. However, I do think that it is because I have always been optimistic and objective when it comes to love. Even when I have been in the midst of a tumultuous relationship, I have always been able to find my center, recognize my stupidity, and if not in that momentvery soon afterwards, get out of my circumstance. Afterwards, I brush myself off, evaluate the lesson learned and move on (something many women have trouble doing). Also, I try not to punish the next man that enters my life for the mistakes the previous guy made (huge mistake). For the last ten plus years, I have been paying close attention to the behavior of women and trying desperately to get a grip on why we continue to behave so stupidly when it comes to men. Is it that we just dont know? Or is it that we do know, but we choose to stay stuck in/on stupid? Youll have to answer these questions for yourself. Also, I interviewed men and asked them what things really bother them about women when it comes to relationships. Stuck on Stupid includes some of the most voiced concerns. After reading this book, ask your mate to read it and highlight the areas he feels you need improvement. I think youll be surprised. Dont worry, your mate wont highlight the whole book ?. Whenever youre in a relationship you have to be willing to grow and make changes. Its part of the process. Love requires it. Nevertheless, I hope that by the end of this book you will have gained some insight about your behavior and begin to make the necessary adjustments in your life to allow you to experience REAL love.

This book is a very true story, and Irene talks candidly about her early years. She talks freely of the many hard knock backs she endured, so it makes immensely fascinating reading. Despite going into Oldham on occasions for a sack of coke, at 12, she never, ever, considered herself a deprived child. She writes about all the hardships, and struggles her mother had, bringing up a family of 10 children. And describes vividly how she had to jump naked out of a 25 foot high bedroom window, when she was confronted with three masked men in her bedroom, losing her business due to this fall. Then years later tells how having once more built up a very profitable business,it closed down. Explaining the risks she took getting to that stage, and why when at its peak, and in paid for and fully tenanted premises, she lost everything again. Then she tells the whole truth about the arson attack on the one million pound canal side business premises, the suspect, and the missing keys, and why it has been left in a ruinous condition since 2005. The sly, devious, scheming tricks, that have been played on her by the council while trying very hard, but without success, to grab her precious site. And the latter end of the book is a series of correspondence from the council. There is no doubt at all this book will certainly shock, and stir up a real hornets nest, but it just had to be written.

“I am stuck in the mud and need help to get out.” Represent God as holding us up through life problems and moving us along on our journey through life. The Lord while I was in the mud was with me and he carried my burdens, pain, past hurts, and disappointments upon Himself. Meaning the weight, I felt internally is from the devastating blows of life experiences. The whole point of being on a journey and getting struck in the mud is learning to love yourself with your imperfections because God does Love us.
