We wonder about the years that have passed us by, and looking at ourselves in the mirror like &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #351c75;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;"WOW"!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;Day by Day we try to find our purpose as to why we are here. Some may say to be a loving wife and raise my kids. After we do our daily chores of wife and mother hood,"What Now"?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;We as women have this label that we have to build up to and it's so exhausting! Somedays I just want to sit back and just do me, whatever that may be-I just want to do it! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;, Courier, monospace;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;These are just my thoughts, but I don't want us women to just sit back while life passes us by. Don't get me wrong motherhood is a beautiful thing as well as a life time partership with the one you love,because I love every minute of&amp;nbsp;mine!&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;, Courier, monospace;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;Sometimes I just want to exhale and do something big that can touch the lives of others,this is my goal and dream.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: #674ea7;"&gt;"&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;What is yours&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;?" &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;, Courier, monospace;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;Think about your life and the BIG question-&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: #674ea7;"&gt;"&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;Have you done all you have wanted to do in this life&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;?"&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;If not,when is the best time to do you before life passes you by and all of your children that you've raised are all gone?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;, Courier, monospace;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;Women should have strong independent lives built outside of what the normal may be so that we can raise our daughters to do the same, Not to just dream a little, but to&lt;/span&gt; &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color: #351c75; font-size: large;"&gt;Dream BIG!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2974210648643904107-6844075966254664488?l=luvasista.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://luvasista.blogspot.com/feeds/6844075966254664488/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://luvasista.blogspot.com/2011/02/dream-big.html#comment-form' title='5 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2974210648643904107/posts/default/6844075966254664488?v=2'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2974210648643904107/posts/default/6844075966254664488?v=2'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://luvasista.blogspot.com/2011/02/dream-big.html' title='&quot;Dream Big&quot;'/><author><name>Lane</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14379555283192878375</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='26' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-u2lKVZJ_lgI/TWscDtQBJ4I/AAAAAAAAAEY/bW64x_BBuJU/s220/live-laugh-love.gif'/></author><thr:total>5</thr:total></entry><entry gd:etag='W/&quot;A0QHQ3g5eip7ImA9Wx9VF0Q.&quot;'><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2974210648643904107.post-5062533310535893232</id><published>2011-02-03T23:58:00.001-06:00</published><updated>2011-02-04T00:02:12.622-06:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app='http://www.w3.org/2007/app'>2011-02-04T00:02:12.622-06:00</app:edited><title>My Daily Valentine</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, serif; font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;I find that Valentines Day is just another regular day. "Why is it on that day,love must be sought after so hard?"&amp;nbsp; For all the married women out there wanting their husbands to buy them something nice,and the single women looking for that special guy to take them somewhere really spectacular-&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, serif; font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Just close your eyes and think, &lt;span style="color: #990000;"&gt;"How many times a year do I feel special?"&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, serif; font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Honey,if it's just on V-Day than you are missing out on&amp;nbsp;love year round!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, serif; font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Don't let the guy your with or the one you are married to use this holiday as a free pass to woo you,It takes more than one day to fall and be in love! &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, serif; font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;To married women-talk to your spouse and let him know you want to feel special on other days too,not just a Valentines Day. The same with dating,&lt;u&gt;you are worth more than a rose,dinner date,and a movie&lt;/u&gt;! &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia, &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, serif; font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;I love that my husband treats me special daily,and I can get a card or flowers just because.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
I take into consideration of how most black women were raised,I mean; not everyone had both parents raising them. Most black women had grandmothers,aunts,or uncles. The strories I hear are pretty much the same, most of them have been abused by somebody. So I can sympothize with the upbringing of most of them! I can't say I relate,but I do sympothize.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, why do most black women tend to look at each other with dismay, It's all because hurt people,hurt people-break that down and say it again, Hurt People will Hurt people!!! The past has a way to enter into your future and disfigure your whole lifestyle. Some women are so twisted up inside they can't smile or be happy for the next one,but why is it that it is so easy to smile at the white women,are they more relatable to you,or do you think they can see right through you?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The ones that should be sticking by your side is your sisters,but I have more white friends that show love for me than my own! I love and embrace who I am- "A Strong Black Woman" We all tend to look the part of a stong black woman,but also tend to tear each other down! Smile at your sister when you see her in the store,go up to her and speak because you never know if that woman,that day may need a little love from her own kind! I'ts time to start sharing our stories and raise up our black sisters because when the day is over with at the office or where ever you may work in the invironment of the majority of white women, in that crowd there is a black woman asking what makes them so special that I can't even get a hello from my sister!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
