I feel good

I'm feelin myself today and I would like to share....It feels good to be a young, and free black woman. I'm single, I'm sexy and I can do what I want to do. I had this overwhelming feeling last night as I was driving in to work. I thought about how I have a house where there is always something going wrong. There is always something that needs to be fixed, but guess what....it's mine. I thought about how I'm always talking about I'm broke but I always got a little stash somewhere if I need it. I thought about how it's just me, my daughter and my dog in my house and I just smiled.

There are people who have way more than what I have. Then there are those who are less fortunate than me. But I am so content with where I am right now. I think about where I was just 5 years ago and I think about how much further I have come since then. I think about how hard I work to maintain what I have. But I also think about how I do have my health so I can get up and do what I gotta do to get the things I want.

Then I look at my reflection in the mirror and I like what I see. We as women are always complaining about all the flaws we have. We focus on all the things we don't like instead of looking at the things that make us beautiful. If I could there are a few things I would change. But when I actually look at the overall picture I realize that I am freakin' beautiful. Part of the reason I believe that is because I am a black woman. That makes me feel so empowered. Just being a woman period is a beautiful thing. I wouldn't change that for the world. Women have so much power and they don't even realize. I am fully aware that this is a man's world. But we all know it wouldn't be nothing without a woman's touch.

One more thing before I go.....Women, I want to tell you something....Keep doing what you do. Don't worry about who the hell got something to say about how you're handling your business. If there is another female all up in your business, and she always has something negative to say. Then to hell with her because she is probably jealous of your swagger. If a man always got something negative to say, and he feel the need to call you outside of your name or trash your character to the next man. Then to hell with him too. Because regardless of what he says chances are he wants you and if you gave him the time of day he would love to just be in you presence. So if you are taking care of you and yours. If you got your own place, your own car, your own money and you depend on no one else for what you need. Then why would you ever worry about what someone else has to say. And women we need to uplift one another instead of try to break each other down.

BTW...I can not explain to you how this song makes me feel. I absolutely love Ne-yo.

Happy Easter!
