Being In Your Forties - Any Woman

My Father Was Strict, But He Recognised My Ability And Got A Lot Of Flak From The Church For Supporting Me.

The Word 'confession,' To Me, Means Needing To Be Absolved. I'm Not Asking For Forgiveness. I'm Not Asking People To Understand. I'd Like To Think That I Tell Stories And Sometimes My Life Weaves Through It.

The Way I See It, The Men That I'm With, Whoever They Are, It's Like Look, You Have To Accept The Fact That I Like Ice Cream, And I Know It Shows Up On My Hips But If You Can't Accept That, Then Leave. Go Away, Toodles. It Is Non-negotiable.

If You Are A Nurturing Mother, And A Good One, You Can Go To Play Groups, Sit On The Floor And Play All The Games, And Have Tea With The Other Mothers, But Wouldn't You Like To Think That's Not All There Is? That You Haven't Hung Up Your High Heels Without Knowing How To Walk In Them?

People Can Be Quite Bullish With Their Opinions. That Does Not Mean They Have Their Finger On The Pulse. It Just Means They Value Their Own Opinion.
