Why is it so bad to be emotional?

Your left lung is smaller than your right lung to make room for your heart - From "I Am An Emotional Creature"

I watched a talk  that Eve Ensler gave at a TED conference (Technology, Entertainment, Design) on youtube which I posted to this blog under links. She described how society kills the little girl inside all of us and why that is so bad (think of a society where we are constantly told to be strong and make logical decisions without getting the heart involved!)
She makes a good point: why is being emotional such a bad thing? We're told not to cry and to be strong but why is it looked down upon when we show our feelings and wear our emotions on our sleeves??
Imagine if world leaders made decisions based on what the heart knew to be right instead of what was logical? A women holds a family together so imagine what female leaders can do for our world!

It seems that crying constitutes being weak and fragile but why is that? I cry every day at least once. Sometimes I cry uncontrollable sobs because I am overwhelmed by emotion while other times I cry a few tears. I'm moved by many things; articles I read online, my friends, commercials, Oprah, memories...the list goes on. I find myself trying to hide these tears and feeling guilty for being so emotional as if it means I'm weak or unbalanced.

I am an emotional creature and I will always be. I have made the decision that this is not a bad thing but something I should embrace.  I will continue to wear my feelings on my sleeve and to let others how I feel. I promise to never hide my tears away and to speak and listen from the heart. We (WOMEN) have huge hearts so why keep them enclosed in a case to wither away?

Links and such

I'll be posting some interesting video links or website links on the blog. I promise to only post those things that have significant value....or anything that is really funny :)

Radio Interview

I recorded a radio interview on Tuesday with Univision Spanish Radio!!
They interviewed me regarding Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure and about all the wonderful services Susan G. Komen offers to the community at large!

What a wonderful group that is and what a fun and weird experience that was!  I've never done an interview before and I was sooooo nervous! I hate the sound of my voice and the thought of having to hear myself over the airwaves is kinda freaky! Once I know the date and time I will post so those of you that are Spanish speakers can hear me butcher the Spanish language!

Visit Susan G Komen for the cure!
