Let's Dance

It is me - I am back.  Please forgive me for such the long lay off.  I had some really getting on me pretty hard.  It was a hectic last few days, but I want to do something different for today's blog.  This may come across "cheesy," but I do not care.  I also have to shout out my PR person for her promotion.  "VPs, VIPs, turning heads from Ohio to FL to the West Indies."  Those that knw me know I love to come up with corny raps.  I have to dedicate today's blog to all the Electric Ladies.  We all know why women are so important, but I want them and us to get down during this blog for no other reason than to celebrate them.  They are Q.U.E.E.N.S.  I know you all are thinking he must have messed up at home or is trying to brown nose.  NOPE.  But the women in my life are truly some awesome ladies.  I have one - I call her "Va Pe."  She is the hardest working female I know, hands down.  She is a true go-getter, and she inspires me like none other.  I have seen her go earn everything; she has been given very little, and I want her to know I know and get down for herself.  I know another, who is so strong, my mental picture of "strong" may be a lot different than others.  Sometimes, I do not know how she deals.  I know she does not get enough of the credit she deserves.  I just want her to know I truly try to do all I can to make things easy.  Another one is the epitome of a matriach.  I am sure she would rather not be, but for every woman out there that has to be, they could learn a lot from her.  She reminds me of what matriachal women should be to make things better in our society.  Being tough on kids does not mean you do not love them.  Giving them everything they ask for does not mean you are giving them all they need to succeed.  Love is often discipline.  Love is often drawing a line in the sand and daring a child to cross it and backing up decisions with consequences.  She has shown me these methods work far better than waiting until children are adults to then try them.  Another young lady I know is continuing to show so much resilience, it is scary.  Her thirst for knowledge is moving to an all-time high, and to see her embrace challenges and welcome hard things, truly has me as her biggest cheerleader.  She is overcoming, and one success after another is making her stronger than Superman.  I truly want to dance with them all and get down.  We hear all the time how women are strong, etc.  But it has become a cliche of sorts.  Let's bring it truly back, not just when something bad is happening bet even when all is going well.  We all know so many fabulous women; let's dance with them today.  It does not matter how but celebrate them.

Also, I want to send a special prayer and blessing to the daughter of one of my Godsons.  I take my responsibility of covering my spiritual sons very serious.
