In the arms of an angel.......

With all that is going on now, I just feel like rocking in the arms of an angel..........
Sarah Mchlachlan's  beautiful voice is such a comfort for me, at this point in time

I sooooo wanna fly away........in the arms of an angel........

Still I Rise

In the words of Maya, I know I will  still RISeeeeeeeeeeeeee



You may write me down in history

With your bitter, twisted lies,
You may trod me in the very dirt
But still, like dust, I'll rise.

Does my sassiness upset you?
Why are you beset with gloom?
'Cause I walk like I've got oil wells
Pumping in my living room.


Just like moons and like suns,
With the certainty of tides,
Just like hopes springing high,
Still I'll rise.


Did you want to see me broken?
Bowed head and lowered eyes?
Shoulders falling down like teardrops.
Weakened by my soulful cries

Does my haughtiness offend you?
Don't you take it awful hard
'Cause I laugh like I've got gold mines
Diggin' in my own back yard.

You may shoot me with your words,
You may cut me with your eyes,
You may kill me with your hatefulness,
But still, like air, I'll rise.

Does my sexiness upset you?
Does it come as a surprise
That I dance like I've got diamonds
At the meeting of my thighs?


Out of the huts of history's shame
I rise
Up from a past that's rooted in pain
I rise
I'm a black ocean, leaping and wide,
Welling and swelling I bear in the tide.
Leaving behind nights of terror and fear
I rise
Into a daybreak that's wondrously clear
I rise
Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave,
I am the dream and the hope of the slave.


I rise
I rise
I rise.

 
-Maya Angelou

Calm in the midst of Chaos

A friend wrote this as her shout out in Facebook today. And it really hit the tear canals.....
Especially so while being caught in a storm. A a bad one at that!  :)

"The eye of the storm is that one specific spot in the center of a twister, hurricane, or tornado that is calm, almost isolated from the frenzy of activity.
Everything around the center is violent and turbulent, but the center remains peaceful.......
How nice it would be if we too could be calm and serene in the midst of chaos - in the eye of the storm."
- Richard Carlson

It ain't my FAULT, if I find Richard Gere HOT!!!

It ain’t my Fault,
If I find Richard Gere Hottt!!

How not to when he is soooooo delicious in 'Pretty Woman'.

It has always been one of my all time favourite movies!

I can watch it a thousand times and will never get tired of it.

Of him actually.
Gere looked soooo yummy in it.

As yummy as 'Strawberry with Chocolate ' *wink*

And yes!

Julia Roberts was such a babe in that movie.

I fell in love with black leather skirts and knee high boots when I was a little girl, after watching the sexy sultry Julia sashaying around to the Roy Orbison's vocals.

Pretty woman, the kind I LIKE to meet! Yay!
