But who wouldn't want a Birkin?
Ok, so we all know women love to be showered with gifts, I know I do. I haven't written in a while because I've been busy trying to find myself this week. This blog is a little off the beaten path, but I am on a roll this week. I probably won't have to much to say, but I am really interested in rebirth, rebuilding, renovation and rebranding myself.
At 40 something you are so different than you were at 20 something. It's amazing how much I've grown in terms of mentality, inspiration and wishing I had followed my dreams. Not other people's dreams of who they wanted me to be or who they thought I should be.
The taste for classic timeless things, wondering what life would've been like in the fifties or sixties as a successful black woman cuz poverty wouldn't be an option for me! I am so SORRY! I think about my mind frame and how my dreams were bigger than my brain could contain or my mind could perceive. I developed a "thirst" for "THE GOOD LIFE," I just had no idea how to go about getting it. Because I grew up during a time when black people were really limited in their thought process.
As if it were a mission in a girl's life to be "a MARRIED MAID!"
Some "Married Maids" were BLESSED and some were not! A "BLESSED MARRIED MAID" has a husband who cherishes and appreciates her for keeping his home and raising his children. Her blessings came in the form of a home, car, trinkets and vacations; as a form of gratitude for being a good wife. Then you have the not so blessed "MARRIED MAID." She is enslaved to an ungrateful, selfish cheap ass, complaining man. One who is content living in a building or some raggedy tenement, with second hand furniture and out dated appliances. Any holiday concerning her recognition is barely if NEVER celebrated and if it is, a cheap ass card, with grocery store flowers and a helium balloon is all she'll get...maybe even some cheap ass slippers! And if she retorts to being unhappy with her gifts, some ignorant ass person will tell her, "its' the thoughts that counts! Well, well, well, as if being a maid is enough...she has to deal with feeling like "HIRED HELP!
This is where I come in; to be the "Fairy God Mother to disenfranchised women enslaved to UNGRATEFUL, SELFISH ASS MEN AND THEIR FAMILIES. It would be my job to hear her thoughts and heartfelt feelings. And then BLESS HER with a MIRACLE. Too many women, especially African American women, deal with so much disappointment and feel unappreciated. Well this post is not off the beaten path at all. It might be the last post about relationships and love. I think I'll stick with being "The Beauty Muse!" It's better that way...
