I Am Woman

The life of a woman is extremely rewarding yet completely complex. We were put togeter so differently than men. Women are made to be soft, to cry, and emotionaly unchained. We will experience things in our lives no man could ever understand. The moment of birth.....That special bond you share with your child... or even what it feels like to a woman to want to love and nurture those around you, because its just second nature.

Women today are stronger than they have ever been before. They stand nose to nose with top executives, and can still raise a family. They love with their entire heart, without holding back.

I am very proud to say that I come from an extremely strong line of women. I am the 4th generation Cancer, and my little girl....she's the 5th. Not to mention, she's the biggest spitfire of us all.

Our characters are all unique. We can wear 20 hats if needed, most of the time we do. Its what made multi tasking so popular. What, you dont think a man invented that, do you?

I wake up every morning, not knowing what each day will bring. I have good days and bad days. But the trick is, I dont accept defeat, I dont know failure. When things get a little too crazy, and my heart is too big to carry on the inside any longer, I have to let it out. Thats when you call in reinforcement. Your girlfriends, mothers, aunts... They know, they have been there.

Being strong isnt easy, but we were made this way for a reason. To carry the weight of the world on our shoulders. Doing whats necessary, without hesitation. Why? you ask. Because we should never have to depend on anyone else to do it for us. "Instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers, Plant your own garden".

We are very special, and we have the knowledge and wisdom as time goes on, to pass this down to our children, so they can do the same. What we have left behind my friends.....is the greatest legacy ever.

Woman, the most amazing creation of all. Beautiful, soft, and yet so strong.

A woman.....she is a mother, a lover, a wife, a fighter, a survivor, a nurturer, a saint, and a best friend.

To all of my friends out there, this is for you!
