Can we loose our electricity?


Today there was a power outage. It is hot as hell!! As soon as the electricity left I started attempting to build plan B, C, and D in my head but as the hours went by and the heat seeped in, the sound of loneliness echoed and suddenly I began to feel as if the power outage was really occurring within me. Just as the electricity had left, so had my electricity. I was at a standstill.
I was attempting to gather all my double A's in hopes of restarting my heart.
How many AA batteries do you think it takes to revive a "chipped, almost broken but not yet there" heart? Hopefully not too many cause without light I can't see and love can be blinding.

Flirting with your wonder women


I have recently discovered the importance of me, the I in me, you get me? We are all wonder women. I am a mother, a daughter, an employee, a manager, a tax payer, a citizen...and many other things but as I get by from day to day, where is me? Surely all of the above help to make up the ME in me but where is "me?" Throughout my day, a women's day, we are many things and we play many roles and we get so involved in being and playing all our roles that somedays it may be hard to soothe the me in me. So here is what I have discovered women of the world...
Once a day for half an hour or for an hour, go to a place that makes you feel at peace. A bedroom, balcony, living room, bathroom, where ever you may feel at peace and tell others that during this time you are not to be disturbed. Grab your glass of wine, your beer, Koolaid, iced tea, hot tea, ice cream, Oreos or whatever gets you in the mood and go to this place and do whatever you please. Draw, watch tv, write, color, twirl your hair, meditate, lye on the floor, travel to Africa or get a tan on the beaches of Mexico, whatever you want to do, wherever you want to be.
For women whose worlds are consumed with tasks and to do lists and appointments, the thought of being able to sit for how ever long it may be and do absolutly nothing is fabulous! This is what I call flirting. Love yourself, flirt with your self everyday by allowing yourself to take a break from yourself. Everyday, whether its sexually or not, make it about you. Just yourself taking a much needed break from your world, your life, your people and yourself.
Happy flirting!
