excuse me...do i know you?

a day spent with the man i'm in love with.
mixed in with some really wonderful hangin'
out time with the kids.....

a perfect day to practice 'not knowing' them.

grin.

i want to talk to each one, look at each one,
and listen to each one as if i don't really
know them.

and i want to relish each one of them as a new
found treasure today.

ahhhh! life is luscious sometimes!

still thinking about it.

it was hers

“they took. they invaded. they pushed. they violated. in so many different ways. a lifetime of pushes and takings and making her feel less than valuable. sitting back, she began to see it. how it had gone on and on. and in seeing it, she began to realize - it was up to her now to shout, to whisper, to sing, to move and to believe in her value. no more taking that from her. it was hers. no more giving it away. it was hers. proudly, with strength and with knowing, she held it. she lived it. she became it.”
