Being a Strong Woman

What do you call a Strong Woman?

"Who's Back Do You Stand On"
 Rosa Parks    Mahalia Jackson - May 17, 1957, Prayer Pilgrimage for Freedom in Washington, D.C.  Daisy Bates and the Little Rock Nine    Tina & Ike Turner - Proud Mary
A sister, mother, aunt, cousin, business owner, nurse, doctor, housewife, nanny, and so many many other names.  Do you know who came before you to pave the way so that you wouldn't have to go through drama of being told your just a woman and you ain't capable of being a success.  Tell me who's back do you stand on is it the mother or grandmother that stood in the gap for you.  The one who took the verbal abuse or physical abuse so that you wouldn't have to.  Or is it the woman who deserve to be the CEO of the company but took the back seat to the man that wasn't even half as qualified as she was to hold the CEO position.  Who's back do you stand on? The woman who's the housewife that never gets credit for raising our future President.  Maybe, it the little old lady that welcomes you to the Wal-Mart and she has to be there because that's her only choose.  Could it be that we as women walk around everyday and never think about about who's back we stand on to be where we are today.  I want to thank every woman I know that I have stood on back to get here like my mother, my grand mother, my aunt's, Rosa Park, Josephine Bark. Walker, Alice Walker, Toni Morrison, Shirley Chisholm, Pam Grier, Tina Turner, Diana Ross, Oprah Winfrey and so many more.  As young women we have always being told to find a good man and marry him and you'll be happy.  But, that's not the truth and the first person you have to get to know is yourself and once you have discovered who you are then and only then you will be happy and whole. 

Remember, this ladies life is full of ups and downs but if you know who you are you can do anything on this earth and you can have anything you want.  In this day and age you have to "REMEMBER WHO'S BACK YOU STAND ON" and then you have to make them proud of your achievement.

How to Look at Shoe Styles when Shopping

Can a Woman have too may pairs of shoes? I think not.  However, you can't afford everything, so here is some advice to help you choose what to put in your closet and what to just lust after in the shop. Platform Soles    Platform Soles are an absolute godsend for any woman.  They allow you the sky scraping height o a serious stiletto, but with some much needed added comfort.  Here's how it works:  the extra height given by the platform sole of the shoe is taken off the ridiculous height of the heel.  Straps Ankle straps may add security when you're out and about, but they have a horrible habit of turning your lovely ankles into thick, and chunky.  An ankle strap is perfectly great as long as it's at the top of your foot, well under your ankle.  No higher!!! Boots High top boots for winter is an essential part of your wardrobe and it's easy to dress up or down.  Make sure the length finishes just below your knee.  Any high could look trashy and any lower will make y
