Carolyn D. Rodgers-Smith also known as Doris Desiree Ladies, today is all the time we have to prove to ourselves that we are more than what we have become. If nobody else believes in us, we should, at least, believe in ourselves. The first investment you make should be in you. Really get to know yourself and get comfortable with doing the "you" thing. Inside of every prissy lady there is a "ballsy" woman. Find her and release her. There is a delicate balance that allows both to coexist without conflict - find it! Being proper is nice, but sometimes you have to get "gritty" in order to maintain your place of sanity. Pretty.On Purpose was written to help you find the "ballsy" woman within. In it you will find witty stories that carry some hard, but, sometimes humorous messages. The overall message is: Be yourself. Be true to yourself. And let God handle the rest.
