2 Years Strong!

Jan 2009
Pretty women wonder where my secret lies
I'm not cute or built to suit a fashion model's size
But when I start to tell them
They think I'm telling lies.
I say,
It's in the reach of my arms
The span of my hips,
The stride of my step,
The curl of my lips.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.

Jan 2011
I walk into a room
Just as cool as you please,
And to a man,
The fellows stand or
Fall down on their knees.
Then they swarm around me,
A hive of honey bees.
I say,
It's the fire in my eyes
And the flash of my teeth,
The swing of my waist,
And the joy in my feet.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.
Side View
Length Check
Men themselves have wondered
What they see in me.
They try so much
But they can't touch
My inner mystery.
When I try to show them,
They say they still can't see.
I say
It's in the arch of my back,
The sun of my smile,
The ride of my breasts,
The grace of my style.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.

Now you understand
Just why my head's not bowed.
I don't shout or jump about
Or have to talk real loud.
When you see me passing
It ought to make you proud.
I say,
It's in the click of my heels,
The bend of my hair,
The palm of my hand,
The need of my care,
'Cause I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.
-M. Angelou




So 2 years ago I built up the courage to rock my little, curly baby 'fro and my face!  There was no more hair to hide behind, it took some getting used to but I am so glad I did it and I have been loving the journey ever since.  I have grown a lot spiritually, mentally, and my hair has grown a lot too!!! (big cheesy smile :D)  From the first post I made it still stands true that I love myself-good bad ugly beautiful-because I am marvelously made, God is my bottom line and he makes no mistakes.  The truth is NATURAL IS BEAUTIFUL and the truth is no lye.
