I feel like my life has come full circle in so many ways. I just came from dinner with SistaFromAnothaMotha and we both had a moment when she asked, "What were we doing five years ago?" We paused, reflected, and both said "WOW" at the same time. Then we sat silently for a bit, because five years ago was definitely a turning point for both of us. We both had recently changed courses in our lives and was entering a new frontier. Our lives have always typically been very different, but this was the first time that we were at a similar place. We had never been single at the same time, but at this point we were, because the relationships we thought were "forever" had recently ended- for me it was my decision and for her it was his decision.
This was the first time in my adult life that I was living my life my way. I made some mistakes along the way, but "WOW" five years ago was the beginning of an awesome trip. Bringing me today... FIVE YEARS LATER.
My ipod shuffle usually lands on a song or to that connects with my thoughts. "Take me as I am" by Mary J. Blige came on when I started typing this blog. The lyrics to this song resonate with me on so many levels- family, love, and work. The verse that I sing from my heart is:
She accepts the past
All these things they help to make she
She's been lost and found
But she's still around
There's a reason for everything, yeah
Let me take myself to bed. I could blog about so many aspects of this journey... as a woman and all of my many roles in my world. At the core of it all, I have finally found peace in who I am and love for who I am... so yes, the world will have to "Take Me as I am"...
Peace,
WonderWoman
