"the core of man's spirit comes from new experiences."
Chris McCandless - Into the Wild
I don't watch much television... no time for tivo.
I It seems you've forgotten who the Lord created me to be
A queen in the eyes of men clothed in royal purple purity
You desire to see me as a simple concubine
Yet you do not see the strength in my blood flowing from the beginning of time
Can I have your number baby, he tries to whisper in my ear
Are you blind, do you not recognize the type of woman standing here?
Know that I'm on a mission, I have a purpose on this earth
The woman standing before you is a woman of virtuous worth
Use wisdom before you accuse me of being like every other woman you see
Don't be blinded and judge me because of your own insecurities
I'm not another woman out seeking to use you
I'm a woman with vision, plans, goals, aspirations, and dreams too
Trouble doesn't follow me because I've washed it from my hands
A little shout, a heap of praise brings strength for me to stand
I wrap my heart in love and put on my gloves of integrity
I guard my mind with wisdom & allow peace to surround me
I possess courage from the heavens to conquer every storm I face
No mountain high, no valley low will move me from my place
By chance do you know my daddy? Lord of lords and King of kings...
At His command the waves rush in and all of heaven sings
The winds that brush my face blow and turn at his command
Honor, strength, and wisdom bow before the great I Am.

My daughter... she makes me strive to be...
"It is not the critic who counts. It is not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by sweat and dust and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; For it is he who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause, and who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat." -Theodore Roosevelt

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same." - Marianne Williamson
