The top quote was just expressed to me by my son in accordance with his sister. Wow, what an ending to what was a wonderful weekend away for myself.


I Am A Woman.....First!

"Mom, you must choose to be grandmother or girlfriend.
You can't be both."

I choose my life.
I choose my limits.
I choose my freedom.

I am a woman who lives.
I am a woman who lives earnestly.
I am a woman who lives earnestly and eternally.
I am a woman who lives earnestly, eternally, and freely.

I am a woman who loves.
I am a woman who loves deeply.
I am a woman who loves deeply and faithfully.
I am a woman who loves deeply, faithfully, and freely.

I am a woman who hurts.
I am a woman who hurts deeply.
I am a woman who hurts deeply and sorrowfully.
I am a woman who hurts deeply, sorrowfully, and freely.

No one will bind me in their chains.
No one will force me to change.
No one will put me in a box.

No one defines me!

Because...

I am free to act as I choose!
I am free to express myself!

I am free to be me!

I AM FREE!

Wow! This is Wow! Upon Wow!
Give this to Madonna and she we make it into a world famous "Daddy don't Preach" Kinds of a song!
I think you should tune it and sing it in the face of your children whenever they try to be unreasonable!
That is the way to go Kathy that is the way to go!
Give it to them!!!

((((hugs for the heart pouring))))
