Are You Really Aware of Your Surroundings?
Many of us get so wrapped up in our daily lives that we become
unaware of our surroundings. Nobody ever thinks crime is going
to happen to them. It's out there...don't let yourself fall
victim to it.
I know first hand...I was on vacation in the Bahamas with my
husband and some friends. We had just left a restaurant and were
heading back to our hotel. Wrapped up in our conversation, we
were unaware that there were two men following us very closely.
Then out of nowhere, one of them grabs my friends purse and
runs. We all scattered and ran in different directions. My
husband was running after him thinking her passport was still in
her purse. I felt like I had just stepped into a movie. This
couldn't have just happened. I was wondering if I was going to
find him with his throat slit when I came around the corner on
the other side where he was running to. So I'm here to tell
you...it's best to be aware of your surroundings. You just never
know who's watching you! Yes, this happened in the Bahamas, but
it can happen ANYWHERE. It was just a rude awakening for me.
There are many ways to protect yourself...perhaps learning with
a self
-defense training video, carrying a convenient sized stun gun or
concealable pepper spray.
