Charlotte: A Mother

This is a time when we all examine motherhood.

I don't know if I'm the same type of mother as Charlotte. She cooked daily for us. She washed clothes AND ironed our clothes. Do I do that for the Kid - uh no. Syd started doing her own laundry around 8 or 9 years old.

What did Charlotte teach me about being a Mother?:
  • Honor being a Mother.
  • Love is the greatest gift you can provide ANYONE.
  • You are always a mother. There is no cut off date.
  • You can mother others
  • Be giving
  • Enjoy life
  • Impart wisdom
  • Service to others is a gift. You are BLESSED in your giving.
  • Be yourself
  • Give hugs and kisses
  • All your child to be his/her authentic self

Be the best Mother you can be.

Honor Motherhood.

My digestion of the 1970s American popular culture in the form of television, film, ads, and music only added to my training, so that by as early as age nine or ten I saw females, includ

If I was your girlfriend

Yeah, another Prince discussion. This man has saved my soul through the years. A follow Prince fan always refers to Prince as the ultimate "pimp". He speaks of how smooooooth Prince is lyrically. I came across the video for "If I Was Your Girlfriend," taken from the Sign of the times film. I started gigglin'. Prince IS a pimp. So clever. Witty. Smooth. Just runnin' game but damn, I'd fall for it. The title alone would get me..... IF I WAS UR GIRLFRIEND - PRINCE
