What does it really mean to be scorned? Is it revenge? Is it self pity? Is it control? What exactly is it? The official textbook definition reads to "feel or express contempt or derision for". That word contempt is a heavy one. It literally means "the feeling that a person or a thing is beneath consideration, worthless, or deserving scorn". Seriously???? Now let's get into this right here!
The Plight of A Scorned Woman is when she ends up in a situation that is unfortunate. Clearly that can cover a lot of ground once you go through things that you never imagined would exist. Many of us would have never thought we would be in this exact situation or circumstance in this day and at this age . . but hey . .here we are! Although life has a funny way of telling us . .slow your ass down and focus . . it also can be one of the most rewarding moments you have ever endured.
I had the honor and privilege most recently of being interviewed for a podcast Bougie University Designing a Life We Love with Cicely Renee the Bougie Black Blogger to talk about how to #findYOURhappy. This was an eye opening experience for me and it was one of many that will forever be in my favor. All these moments are launching me into my destiny of being a Motivational Speaker when I grow up . . AGAIN! By the way check out Episode 8!

When a woman is scorned we tend to walk through the fire and brush off the ashes as we get back to life. There is something special about a woman who can do just that! I'm not saying men can't be scorned; however I'm speaking for and from a woman's experience. We are literally the backbone of the home. Many times I have spoken with women who are in relationships, out of relationships, in-between relationships and the stories are all the same no matter the relationship status. We get up and get shit done no matter what!
Yes there was a time when I thought I was going to damn die without my spouse. Lo and behold I lived! Not only did I live for myself, I lived for everything that mattered more than my life . .my children. I have had some trials that I never thought I would have to face and at the end of the day I rose through the fire. There have been times that I have gone without food to eat because my priority was to make sure my son was fed, the household functioned without missing a beat and anything that my older kids needed help with, I was able to provide it. If I ask for help with anything . . .it's a real need. I will sit and go without before I result to owing anybody anything. I may not have everything I want, but I have everything I need.
People think they know what's going on in your life and they speculate or predict what you should have or should be doing because of your job/economic status. Honey let me tell you . . no one knows what's happening with my bank account other than me, my bank and God Almighty unless I've shared that information. Please don't tell me what I should have in my account unless you are making deposits. Unless you have been in my shoes, you can not understand the walk that I have had to endure. Even if you wore the same shoes, your walk and my walk is completely different because we are all cut from a unique cloth that's special fitted for only us. Some say it's my own fault that I went through that season. I say everything happens in God's timing and for a reason.
No one is perfect and we all have seasons of being scorned. That feeling of being beneath consideration, worthless or deserving of scorn can hit us all at some point in our lives. It's what you do with it once it arrives that matters the most. Will you sit down and not fight for consideration, worth or what you deserve? You don't have to lash out at the other person or even try to diminish them. That's what the enemy wants you to do. The crazy thing is, I'm not even mad at that because he's just doing his job. You have to be stronger in faith and resilient to a fault. Every obstacle that you perceive that is in your way is just a stepping stone to get you to where you are ordained to be.
The Plight of A Scorned Woman is just that . . .COURAGE, STRENGTH, DETERMINATION, PROSPEROUS and FAVOR.
