Your Highness Gracie,
Thank you for the jewels of wisdom you shared with us today. Please elaborate your secrets of learning to live within the budget. There is much, much room for improvement in my spending habits.
As always your grateful and loyal subject,
Lady Carmen
Your Graciousness Lady Carmen,
Give us a week or so to address the budget issue.

Thank you Mrs Guy for your insights.
I’d love the details of ‘another story’ when you became ‘rich’ by living within a budget. Finally, I have found this to be the case as I’ve been applying myself to thoughtful spending habits these last few years. (The children being married helps too I believe.)
I can always do with more inspiration.
Who wouldn’t want to be a girl or lady? So satisfying, so cosseted, cared for, pampered… Love it.
Sometimes it’s hard to believe that if I do X, Y will happen.(such as being treated like a princess) I guess that’s where faith comes in.
Your Preciousness Princess Rita,
I’m unsure if you have a question, but let me address the belief and faith parts. It’s not advice, just elaboration of how people interact.
We all respond in some measure to what others do, and they do the same. Your actions come first, and the choices you make provide guidance for others interacting with you. People weigh and consider their treatment of you by the way you treat yourself. For example, treat yourself to attractive attire, dignified behavior, and pristine apartment and people pay close attention and respect those things. (Women obviously know all this, but modern women don’t want to pay the price to induce better treatment by men.)
Treat yourself as a tramp, whore, lady, or princess, and you’ll be treated that way by others. Your actions guarantee nothing, but acting like something else—or even average—won’t induce treatment suitable for lady or princess. Ladies and princesses stand out in life. But then, so do whores and tramps.
Regarding faith, I presume you speak of the personal rather than the religious. Faith in yourself depends on your acceptance, self-love, and dedication to yourself as female and distinctly different from the male gender. Faith knows no vacuum, so if yours is not built around female self-love, something else fills the void in your heart—such as believing yourself unworthy.
Belief and faith are synonymous, but this helps understand the issues: Belief in yourself as sufficiently different to ‘show off’ determines your outlook and how others will likely respond. Faith in yourself as female sustains your belief.

I like the one about glasses. I wear glasses and hate them, but my husband loves them. He even says I look sexy in glasses.
Your Exceptionalness NigheanRuadh,
God has blessed you deeply and this will tell you of only one way:
There once was a gal that wore glasses.
Known as the prettiest of lasses,
With beautiful eyes
And husband so wise,
Their marriage grew think as molasses.
Guy
Corny but good Guy!
