Beauty of a Woman -
The figure she carries or the way she combs her hair.
The beauty of a woman must be seen from her eyes,
Because that is the doorway to her heart,
the place where love resides.
The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mole,
But true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul.
It is the caring that she lovingly gives,
the passion that she shows.
The beauty of a woman with passing years - only grows.
An English professor wrote the words:
"Woman without her man is nothing" on the blackboard,
and asked the students to punctuate it correctly.
The men wrote: "Woman, without her man, is nothing."
The women wrote: "Woman! Without her, man is nothing."
"All women possess a special grace..."
Want some encouragement?
Looking for real friendships?
Going through tough times, or been there?
This the place to find refreshment!
There's all kinds of fun stuff to do when you're a part
of something special!!!

This is a special gift from
Ronnie of Southern Women! This is another great women's
ring!!!
Women...
They smile when they want to scream.
They sing when they want to cry.
They cry when they are happy and laugh when they are nervous.
They fight for what they believe in.
They stand up for injustice.
They don't take "no" for an answer when they believe there is a better solution.
They go without new shoes so their children can have them.
They go to the doctor with a frightened friend.
They love unconditionally.
They cry when their children excel and cheer when their friends get awards.
They are happy when they hear about a birth or a new marriage.
Their hearts break when a friend dies.
They have sorrow at the loss of a family member,
yet they are strong when they think there is no strength left.
They know that a hug and a kiss can heal a broken heart.
Women come in all sizes, in all colors and shapes.
They'll drive, fly, walk, run or e-mail you to show how much they care about you.
The heart of a woman is what makes the world spin!
Women do more than just give birth.
They bring joy and hope. They give compassion and ideals.
They give moral support to their family and friends.
Women have a lot to say and a lot to give.
This has been sent to you from someone who respects you as a woman......
pass it along to your women friends to remind them how amazing they are.
*Best friends are the siblings that God forgot to give us*
I believe-
that we don't have to change friends if we understand that friends change.
I believe-
that no matter how good a friend is,
they're going to hurt you every once in a while and you must forgive them for that.
I believe-
that true friendship continues to grow, even over the longest distance.
Same goes for true love.
I believe-
that you can do something in an instant that will give you heartache for life.
I believe-
that it's taking me a long time to become the person I want to be.
I believe-
that you should always leave loved ones with loving words.
It may be the last time you see them.
I believe-
that you can keep going long after you can't.
I believe-
that we are responsible for what we do, no matter how we feel.
I believe-
that either you control your attitude or it controls you.
I believe-
that regardless of how hot and steamy a relationship is at first,
the passion fades and there had better be something else to take its place.
I believe-
that heroes are the people who do what has to be done
when it needs to be done, regardless of the consequences.
I believe-
that money is a lousy way of keeping score.
I believe-
that my best friend and I can do anything or nothing and have the best time.
I believe-
that sometimes the people you expect to kick you when you're down,
will be the ones to help you get back up.
I believe-
that sometimes when I'm angry I have the right to be angry,
but that doesn't give me the right to be cruel.
I believe-
that just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to
doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have.
I believe-
that maturity has more to do with what types of experiences you've had
and what you've learned from them, and less to do with how many
birthdays you've celebrated.
I believe-
that it isn't always enough to be forgiven by others.
Sometimes you have to learn to forgive yourself.
I believe-
that no matter how bad your heart is broke the world doesn't stop for your grief.
I believe-
that our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are,
but we are responsible for who we become.
I believe-
that just because two people argue, it doesn't mean they don't love each other
and just because they don't argue, it doesn't mean they do.
I believe-
that you shouldn't be so eager to find out a secret.
It could change your life forever.
I believe-
that two people can look at the exact same thing and see something totally different.
I believe-
that your life can be changed in a matter of hours by people who don't even know you.
I believe-
that even when you think you have no more to give,
when a friend cries out to you, you will find the strength to help.
I believe-
that credentials on the wall do not make you a decent human being.
I believe-
that the people you care about most in life are taken from you too soon.
When I'm An Old Lady
When I'm an old lady, I'll live with my son,
and make his life happy and filled with such fun,
I want to pay back all the joy he's provided,
.....when I'm an old lady and live with my son.
I'll write on the wall with red, white, and blue;
and bounce on the furniture wearing my shoes.
I'll drink from the carton and then leave it out.
I'll stuff all the toilets and oh, will he shout!
.....when I'm an old lady and live with my son.
When he's on the phone and just out of reach,
I'll get into things like sugar and bleach.
Oh, he'll snap his fingers and then shake his head,
and when he is done I'll hide under the bed.
.....when I'm an old lady and live with my son.
When my son's wife cooks dinner and calls me to
meals,
I'll not eat my green beans or salads congealed.
I'll gag on my okra, spill milk on the table,
and when she gets angry, run fast as I'm able.
..... when I'm an old lady and live with my
son.
I'll sit close to the TV, thru the channels I'll
click,
I'll cross both my eyes to see if they stick,
l'll take off my socks and throw one away,
and play in the mud until the end of the day.
.....when I'm an old lady and live with my son.
And later, in bed, I'll lay back and sigh,
and thank God in prayer and then close my eyes;
and my son will look down with a smile slowly
creeping,
and say with a groan, "she's so sweet when she's
sleeping,"
.....when I'm an old lady and live with my son.

In reading my posts from the SouthernWomen, I came across this tribute to Women...
And I guess it struck a chord in my heart because
I'm coping with the physical, mental, and emotional
changes in my own life.
I think there are truths in this that all women can identify with.
I hope you enjoy it...
Imagine a Woman
Imagine a woman who believes it is right and good she is a woman.
A woman who honors her experience and tells her stories.
Who refuses to carry the sins of others within her body and life.
Imagine a woman who believes she is good.
A woman who trusts and respects herself.
Who listens to her needs and desires, and meets them with
tenderness and grace.
Imagine a woman who authors her own life.
A woman who exerts, initiates, and moves on her own behalf.
Who refuses to surrender except to her truest self
and to her truest voice.
Imagine a woman who names her gods.
A woman who imagines the divine in her image and likeness.
Who designs her own spirituality and allows it to inform her
daily life.
Imagine a woman in love with her own body.
A woman who believes her body is enough, just as it is.
Who celebrates her body and its rhythms and cycles as an
exquisite resource.
Imagine a woman who honors the face of the goddess in her
changing face.
A woman who celebrates the accumulation of her years
and her wisdom.
Who refuses to use precious energy disguising the changes in her
body and life.
Imagine a woman who values the women in her life.
A woman who sits in circles of women.
Who is reminded of the truth about herself when she forgets.
IMAGINE YOURSELF AS THIS WOMAN.

Phenomenal Woman
by Maya Angelou
Pretty women wonder where my secret lies
I'm not cute or built to suit a model's fashion 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 steps
The curl of my lips.
I'm a woman.
Phenomenally
Phenomenal woman
That's me.
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.
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 for my care.
'Cause I'm a woman
Phenomenally
Phenomenal woman
That's me.
So, my sisters be proud of who you are...
You are beautiful!!!
And if that wasn't enough...check out this wonderful poem!
Cajun Ladies (Southern Ladies)
They walk in true honor and grace
Wide eyed southern ladies
Dressed in hoop skirts and pantaloons
Raven hair and ruby lips
Long white gloves adorn their fingertips
As beauty reverently unfolds
For handsome gentlemen to behold
Charm, elegance and grace
To be held sacred in this place
Sit they do little coquettes
Children entertained with vignettes
All assembled on the veranda
While men-folk speak some local propaganda
Brocade fans cooling their faces
To erase perspiration's traces
Lovely ladies of profound honor
Fathers take serious their dishonor
Southern belles beauty to behold
Cajun Ladies (Southern Ladies) with heart and soul
In the setting sun their stories unfold
