Do you remember Helen Reddy singing?
“I am woman hear me roar, innumbers too big to ignore”
…
“If I have to, I can do anything.I am strong. I am invincible.
I am woman.”
I am woman.”
When that song first came out, we all sang it at the top ofour lungs.
We believed every word.
But then somewhere between sewing peace patches on ourhip-huggers and piecing together a family life, we lost ourselves.
Now a few decades later, instead of saying
“I am woman hear me roar”
We find ourselves saying:
Why would anyone listen to me?
What do I know?
Okay, so you probably wouldn’t be caught dead in thattie-dyed halter top that you once thought was your most fabulous top.
But deep down, you’re that same woman only better and moreexperienced. You just need to believe in yourself again.
So here’s your homework:
Watch this video twice.
First time through, tell me you didn’t sing along to thechorus.
And tell me by the second time through you didn’t remembermost of the words!
Maybe it’s time we pulled this record album out of the backof the closet, dust it off and play it as our theme song again.
We need to remind ourselves that we are strong women.
And we need to remind others that we roar in numbers too bigto ignore!
We are invincible not invisible.
And together we will roar and be heard. We have alifetime of wisdom and experience that we can share.
There are plenty of things that you are good at.
If you want to write a book, you can.
If you want to start an online business, you can.
If you want to write a book, you can.
If you want to start an online business, you can.
If I hear you again say
Why would anyone listen to me?
What do I know?
I’m going to be forced to make you listen to our theme songuntil you believe it AGAIN!
