I've been in the studio lately working on a new track that I’m collaborating with Feel Good Music Coalition on. The track we are working on is called “Women”, inspired by girl power, with a tropical touch.
Today’s music degrades women, making them seem “easy” and carefree, teaching young girls that looks are the only thing that matters. Don’t get me wrong I enjoy looking my best, working out, and eating healthy, but I mostly do those things because I truly enjoy them, and because I want to live to be 100 years old and still be able to run up mountains every morning.
Everyone who has ever had a great example of a woman in their lives knows that women, in particular special women, have shaped and molded them to be their very best.
Just this morning, I listened to a story given by Tad R. Callister (link of speech below) about a boy who was ranked the lowest in his class. His mother didn't know how to read because she was one of 24 children in her family who only had a 3rd grade education. She was married at age 14 and was later divorced and left to raise two sons in the ghettos of Detroit. However, she was extremely self reliant, and new God would help her and her family.
One day while working as a maid, she cleaned houses for the wealthy, she realized rich people had libraries and read a lot! She went home and forced her children to read, read, read! By the 7th grade Ben (the boy) was at the top of his class, and he later attended Yale University on scholarship, and then went to medical school at John Hopkins. Then at age 33, Ben became a chief of pediatric neural surgery and a world renown surgeon. How is this possible? Because of a special woman, a mother.
This is what a real woman do; they do their best with what they have, and make a master piece of it.
Human life is beautiful! We all demand attention and love, and that is what a real woman does. She loves and gives attention to others and helps change the world.
Real women delight in celebrating a loved one’s success because they have contributed and sacrificed all of their time in the making of it. The inspiration a real woman gives is to inspire a person to be the unique individual they are meant to be by embracing their own rare beauty.
Look up women! You are great! Your selfless hours of work, staying home with kids, feeding neighbors, taking old women on walks, and loving more than is imaginable is not unseen and holds great impact. You’re beautiful just as you are!
From one of the most beautiful women who has ever lived, I share this quote.
“I don’t want to drive up the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long, perfectly manicured fingernails. I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp. I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbors children. I want to be there with a little dirt under my fingernails from helping weed someone’s garden. I want to be there with children’s sticky kisses on my cheeks and the tears of a friend on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived”
