Okay, my fellow pocketbook carriers, we have to talk!
What on earth are you putting into your pocketbooks that
turns them into devices that will double up for weight training and as a
self-defense weapon when hurled at the aggressor?
My question is prompted by two occurrences on the same
day. One suspected that she hurt her shoulder by reaching for her pocketbook. The
other came with an aching back and a body hurting overall. In either case, I
would not have used more than an 8 lbs. dumbbell (if that much) for weight
training with controlled movements but when I picked up the pocketbooks to
check it out, I hardly believed what I felt.
When inquiring what could possibly turn the innocent
pocketbooks into such a lethal force, it appeared that they were clearly
prepared for any circumstance that life may throw at them. All these things –
just in case – do add up, and they may have made perfect sense when hiking off
into the wilderness. But just for getting around town?
So here is my challenge: check the content of your
pocketbook and ask yourself whether you really need to carry it all on you all
the time. Many items can find a place in the car, maybe in a separate bag, so
that you can travel light when you walk around places where you actually have
to carry your pocketbook.
