In Goddess Mode

So I get up and go outside, start my car so it can warm up, now we're all ready to go and what do I see? My car has a flat. I was so furious, not at the car, but at myself because I saw this tire getting low the day before, and I just ignored it thinking I would take care of it the next day. Now it's 7 am and I've got to get the kids to school, and there is no one around to help me out. So I get into Goddess Mode....... I pop the trunk and make sure my spare is still good, and I change my tire. Now it's been at least 15 years since I've had to actually get on the ground and hike the car up and change the tire. And I know most of you Goddesses probably have road side assistance or a good man or husband you can call on. But what are you going to do when you're in a situation like I was in? I'm single, don't have a man right now, can't afford road side assistance, my money has to go in too many other directions. So I did what comes naturally for me, I resolve the probelm by changing the tire myself. And I had one of my daughters outside and she helped me change the tire.

So when it's time to get into Goddess Mode are you ready? We don't all have the luxury to have someone to call on at a moments notice. And I've always had to be more independent than most. Because of the choices that I've made in life, people tend to judge me or put unnecessary demands on me that I'm not going to bother to attempt to meet. I think that's what makes people call me a "strong black woman," and I don't see the strength in me that everyone else sees. I see determination to be the person that I feel that I'm meant to be, not the woman you or anyone else may want me to be. I have to be able to look myself in the mirror everyday, so what I do during the course of a day, what I say to people during the course of a day, the decisions that I make during the course of a day, I have to be able to live with the consequences of these actions. So when I get into Goddess Mode, I'm just doing what needs to be done!

Check out your Goddess Mode, and if you don't have one, it's only because you didn't know you have one. All Goddesses have a Goddess Mode. I'd love to hear about yours sometimes!
