Grown Ass Woman Interlude #1
Excuse me while I interlude, please:
In speaking with one of my good girlfriends the other night, I said to her that being a grown ass woman means realizing that your life is just that: YOUR LIFE. The choices and decisions you make lay the foundation for the path that you take. It has absolutely nothing to do with what so and so has done to you, or what people think about you…it is purely how you look at yourself in the mirror and see yourself that makes you a Grown Ass Woman.
Life is throwing me things that I have to duck and dodge. But I know in the end, there is a light. A light that will reassure me that everything has a reason. Not that it is going to end the way that I want, or that I will get what I believe I deserve; more, the universe has surrounded me with assurance that I will be able to move on from whatever challenges that come and stand taller, speak louder, and continue to be free.
It is absolutely amazing how much clarity comes with almost being 40. I used to be so afraid of that number; now I am embracing it because I know the best of me is yet to come.
This is my wish for every single woman that I know in my life, and even those that I don’t know…because it is in this space that a Grown Ass Woman thrives.
Peace,
