Every day is Women's Day: #Heart Chats: "Woman To Woman" - Sarah Jakes Roberts (3877 hits)
For me Elynor, my life is influenced by women who were and are whole.
The women who raised me: My Grandmothers, My Mother, My Sisters, My Cousins and My Aunties are very Loving, Positive Thinkers, Nurturing, Virtuous, Beautiful, Strong, Artisitic, and Spiritual.
Though I grew up in a house with my mother, three older brothers, and my Father, it was my Grandmother who I believe influenced my womanhood the most (during my adolescent years). She is my name sake and she is my Angel.
Now, as an adult, it is my Mother who influences me the most. She is the most loving Woman I have ever met. She is my role model, my cheerleader, my Friend.
I am different. I see it when I am around girls and women who grew up with all sisters or with more women around them than men. I love growing up with four men in my household. Some girls are touchy feel with other women or are comfortable being naked in front of each other. Not me. Having a house full of brothers and dad made me different.
It has taught me how to not hold grudges, how laughter soothes pain as long as it ain't at my expense :), and it taught me how men treat good vs womp womp women.
Not once in my whole up bringing (in my house) did I ever hear the word Biiotch. It makes no sense to me how Women can refer to themselves and others as a Biiotch. It is trickery to believe that it is acceptable. It is not with good intention.
Not once did I see the women in my home show Insecurity or Jealousy towards another woman. My mother knew her value so she was never pressed.
I come from a line of women who can do all things women were created to do. Women were not created to be and act like men. So I strive to be feminine. I strive to be ladylike. I strive to wear dresses lol.
I love being a woman, a girl, a lady, a queen, a princess, a empress, a chica, a senorita, a goddess.
