Hi Everyone and a very Happy New Year to all. I think 2009 is going to big year for all, at least I hope so. This year I hope to expand my mind and follow my heart where ever it leads me. We are living in some difficult times,times that test the strenght of men and women alike, and I'm sure like most of you, I feel like I am ready to meet those challenges, that I will face this year. I think this poem sums me up pretty well along every other women who have discovered themselves.

PHENOMENAL WOMAN
by Maya Angelou

Pretty women wonder where my secret lies
I'm not cute or built to suit a fashion model's size
But when I start to tell them
They think I'm telling lies.
I say
It's in the reach of my arms
The span of my hips
The stride of my steps
The curl of my lips.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally
Phenomenal woman
That's me.

I walk into a room
Just as cool as you please
And to a man
The fellows stand or
Fall down on their knees
Then they swarm around me
A hive of honey bees.
I say
It's the fire in my eyes
And the flash of my teeth
The swing of my waist
And the joy in my feet.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally
Phenomenal woman
That's me.

Men themselves have wondered
What they see in me
They try so much
But they can't touch
My inner mystery.
When I try to show them
They say they still can't see.
I say
It's in the arch of my back
The sun of my smile
The ride of my breasts
The grace of my style.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally
Phenomenal woman
That's me.

Now you understand
Just why my head's not bowed
I don't shout or jump about
Or have to talk real loud
When you see me passing
It ought to make you proud.
I say
It's in the click of my heels
The bend of my hair
The palm of my hand
The need of my care.
'Cause I'm a woman
Phenomenally
Phenomenal woman
That's me.

I am more than just a picture...

What am I doing with my life that is a very interesting question, in my everyday life, I'm helping the breathless. During my superhero times, I'm going to school, raising a daughter, and looking for a place to call my home.

I'm really good at being me, I haven't met anyone eles that does being me better, and believe me some have tried.

My big brown eyes...

Any book that keeps my attention more than a minute and has the ability to take me to a far away land. My favorite movies are God father I & II , Sleepless and Seattle and many more. I love all kinds music and foods;I will try anything once.

Things that I can't live without food, water, hot sex, oh and of course my family, friends and glass of White Zinfandel to accompany a good meal.

Death and taxes...

Thumb wrestling the little girl next door and let tell you, she is pretty strong for a five year old. And I'm waiting for Sunday to come to watch The Ravens lose another game, oops they are winning and they might even make it to the Super Bowl ...GO RAVENS GO RAVENS!!!!! update they didn't make ...Let's see how the Orioles fair this year...

Whatever!!!!

If you can look directly into the Sun without blinking, stand on one foot and touch your nose while singing I'm a little tea pot than you are the man of my dreams and what they say dreams can come true if only you believe , so drop your line in my box. :) :)
