My blogs are barkin'

Computer problems have hindered me from taking the time this morning to blog in an acceptable way. Now I am out of time, but I want to share this one little thing.

I'm not getting political cuz that's not what I want this blog to be about. I only include the following two quotes because they are from a strong woman and I think they are appropriate for my "message." The quotes are from Joe Biden's mother. He shared them with the world at the DNC last night. I'm not tryin' to get anyone on the Biden train. If you like him that's your thing. If you don't, I get it. I'm not preaching. These two quotes are from his mother and she's not running for anything. I dug them so much I'm thinking about making them some sort of affirmation even though affirmations seem really squirrely to me.

Here they are:

1 —
"No one is better than you. Everyone is your equal and everyone is equal to you."

How freakin' GREAT is that? We all have value. No one has more value than you do because they have more money, more kids, a bigger house, a flatter stomach or a tighter ass. I mean it! We are each on our own path and my path is as important as someone else's. My path may be twistier and turnier than yours or have hills or be smoothly paved. Who knows. But mine is mine and yours is yours. We may now stop measuring each other by the same old yard stick.

2—
"You are defined by your sense of honor and you are redeemed by your loyalty."

Well, ... can we get back to this? I mean, right now, as women we allow ourselves to be defined (and define ourselves) by the number on the scale, the number of the size or our garment, the number on our birthday card and the number on our paycheck. It's time to touch base with our honor and at the very least, define OURSELVES, regardless of how others define us, by our character.

No?

That and good hair.
