In light of the news coming out regarding Linda Frickey, victim of fatal carjacking, I wanted to remind the ladies on the board to lock the doors to your vehicle as soon as you get in.
Getting everything situated in the car can wait.
Lock your doors.
Wow I feel insulted. "Average female temperament". Maybe I'm just not average. I could go for that. When panic sets in for most people, I immediately go level headed and fearless. I've seen grown men panic and so much feel like bitch slapping them. And I say this as A woman.
you are not "average". most women freeze. but some women for whatever reason, calm down and focus in times of stress.
consider yourself lucky.
the point is to know yourself. I am pretty calm but a disaster in the physical world.
my daughter is the opposite. we are a great team. I may carry the gun in my purse, but she is the one who will shoot the gun. I am the one who will engage the criminal, she is the one who can pull the trigger.
we are both outliers. work with your strengths for the best strategy.
