STRENGTHENING... THE WOMAN.
The young & the mature woman.
"Women of all ages, races, creeds and cultures...
I HEREBY PRONOUNCE YOU ALL...
MY SISTER GIRLS!
No matter that we are not related.
No matter that we have never met.
We are all united By humanity".
Hello My sisters, Women of the world!
Last weeks article got the attention of someone in another state!
Also, another lady that I know, stopped me and told me that she was very moved by the Sister Girls, poem series. She said especially the conversation that took place between the mother and the daughter (at the end of sister girls, part 2). She said, she and her mother had similar conversations, only her mother didn't turnout to be so understanding and didn't grow to know better! She said she wished that the outcome in the poem, was the outcome in her and her mother's relationship. "To this very day", she said, "my mother still does not see anything wrong with the way my ex treated me, and he beat me! My mother still talks about him like he was an angel. You let that good man get away! He was a good provider", her mother said.
I just stood there looking at the lady. Wow! That was powerful, her letting me in like that and sharing her story with me! I just am thankful that she found her strength, got away, divorced that man and is living safe and free! I also felt very, very grateful that I get to write like I'm moved to write. Like my friend said, "it is for a purpose". (See "Meetta's Readers" column)
I want to thank her for responding. Not to tell her business so, I'll just say, YOU know who you are! I know you are reading this. (She told me that she reads my blog often). I am thankful for that woman. She encourages me. It's not like I'm getting paid to do this!
(Yet!) One can dream and hope. Can't one? (prepare, persist & pursue)
Life... is about the journey, just as much as it is, about the destination.
It is for women like that lady above and myself, that I write. I write from my heart. Freely sharing things that I've experienced, know about, heard about or am just passionate about. I write about what I see, hear, feel and think about. I share these things with you in mind, hoping that it empowers you to live your best life! I hope these words I have written and the words that I have yet to write will motivate you to see yourself in ways bigger than you have ever dreamed!
So, please read and grow! If you appreciate what I write, please share my blog site. Also, feel free to comment at the end of each column that you have feelings about.
This column is meant to stimulate knowledge and growth. Somebody needs to know that she is NOT ALONE. I just trust and hope in Christ Jesus, God The Father and the Holy Spirit, that YOU know it!
Truly, Meetta
"INSPIRATION STATION"
SISTER GIRLS, part 3, The finLLYand closing
a PoEm By: Meetta
SISTER GIRLS!
Help me out with this!...
You have a man and you're living together
(which by the way without marriage is not good to do and NO! Every body is not doing it!)
Hang with me now, I'm pushing on!
Anyhow, you are living together and everything is going good.
You two, are fitting in.
Then, you start to have kids. I mean kid on top of kid!
You find out that your man ain't all that you think he is.
Sister Girl,
What goes through your mind for you to think that it is OK and fine
that your man is all for the making, but he is not interested in
getting a job, bringing home the bacon to help take care of you and all those babies>
You had one job, now you have to get two!
Somebody has got pay the bills.
Your (Sister Girls) family AND friends pitch in
with food and help babysit those kids.
Your situation is hard enough to fathom, but
just for a moment think about this.
Do you think that if you did not have those family and friends pitching in,
that you would have had so many kids?
*Sister Girls, (Family and Friends)...sometimes we mean to help, but what we're really doing is stopping them from helping themselves and we end up encouraging unwanted behavior.)
It's called being an enabler.
Making it possible for the person you are helping to continue to do what they are doing!
You get that don't you?
Still, my sister with man and all those kids,
where does that you leave you?
While you're still thinking...
Without those helpful women helping you,
would you have still been shacking with that unproductive man.
producing the children (and problems) that you both produced?
Sister Girls, these are examples of what we take from the other gender AND put on OURSELVES and OTHER WOMEN!
I hope you know that it is a better way and that you find it.
Take care and think..."YOU BEAUTIFUL BLESSED THINGS"
Beautiful, Blessed Things will be the next "Inspiration station" poetry by Meetta (me)
And Stay Tuned for next weeks article
