Every woman (Tear Eye #3)

Every Woman (Tear Eye 2)

There is this throwback jam that still plays in my head when I put on my big girl heels to hold a training, anchor a meeting or execute a project. 

It’s Mama Whitney singing:

"I'm every woman it's all in me
Anything you want done baby
I'll do it naturally"

Even when  I am in those sexy heels to take "Daddy" to church or maybe those trainers to hit the road or the slippers to wash plate or cook or no shoes at all to get down and play with my little girl. I am all these women.

I am the antagonistic Stanger across the room who you figure is too overbearing who you figure has an unhappy home because I don't fit into your box.

I am the wife who allows her husband introduce her to all his friends and who may sit and smile when his acquaintance makes a comment like 'let's not bother madam's head with all this work talk' and I smiled because well... (Wrangle your inner feminist madam this is neither the place nor the time).

I am the one who is both peace maker and trouble starter. I am your best friend and I am your worst enemy, I am the slut and I am the prude. I am the extremely unapproachable sexy lady and sometime the very likable girl next door. I am someone who could have been your girlfriend and someone who is a mummy.

I am the sledge hammer taking on the world and I am the one who wants you to kill the cockroach that just crawled on the counter. 

I want to be left alone and I want to be held, The vegetarian and the carnivore, slender chic, thick chic.

I am sometimes very sad and other times extremely happy. I am the pessimist and I am the very optimistic. I am a dreamer and sometimes I have too much reality.

I am a preacher and I am a sinner, I am someone's baby and I am someone's boss. I am someone's daughter and I am someone's mother. I am someone’s hater and someone’s lover.

When you have a woman who has the potential to be a different one from the one you knew, like an onion, always shedding skin, different personalities. An onion at the core, but exposing different layers as you go. If you choose right and you are doing it right this is definitely not the same girl you knew and it's a good thing.

There is nothing to be afraid of and definitely no dull moment if you exercise patience you will meet different versions of the woman you know, you will of course love some more than others, but imagine how fantastic it is to get such different awesomeness in just one Woman.


Imagine…

1000 QUESTIONS

Welcome to 2017 (as if I am the gate keeper to the year. lol) in the spirit of new things, I have some questions that have been on my mind and I will love to share with you.  I wrote this post late last year, but i figured the best way to start a new page is to ask questions then spend the whole time finding answers.  I read somewhere that the questions we ask ourselves improve our experience of any given situation. If you don't fully understand something you cannot fully expose yourself to something you don't understand. So based on my quest to fully understand life I  have a few questions to ask and though  they are not ground breaking, they are questions I have and will like to know your answers to. Caution you will find no answers here...👀👀 What is shame and why do we have it? is it a reflex of our minds to help us not do the stuff we have imposed on ourselves as wrong? Why is it that people who work hard do not get any returns but...

Wrangling Your Inner Feminist

Lately the word Feminist is everywhere. I mean since it got all caught up in pop culture. Ladies, its hard out there for a girl, this is the truth the world treats you like you are and enemy sometimes, both women and men. There is so much idealism that surround this school of thought, this belief that a woman has a right to be equal to a man in all day to day dealings but this idea rubs the some people the wrong way. The stereotypes that exist against feminism are very funny; some believe you need to be an unhappy woman, because I mean if you have a man in your life already telling you what to do you will stop complaining right? Who said a feminist can't be a wife or mother or straight. Basically feminism is the pursuit of the equality of the sexes in all spheres of life. Like one author said, it's basically the belief that women are people.  People attribute some odd things to feminist like masculinity and all that but just because a woman says she is a feminis...

Who Reputation Help

                           "A good name is better than riches" it is said, but who reputation help? In a county where we give awards to men and women we know lack integrity just because they are rich. Where the rules that apply to the 1 % don't apply to others...so who reputation help please? The problem is that the saying is mostly true. A good name is better than riches. There are real life instances that support this and we know them. In life, nothing holds more influence for people than the word of somebody they trust. Real life is hardly influenced by Facebook posts or social media coverage. People only refer people who they like and who are good at what they do whether they met them on social media or not. I met a staff member at a clients organisation and the first thing I noticed right off was the bad attitude. Whenever I went back to that office, I did my best to st...
