Superwoman?

I was recently asked "if you could possess one super power what would it be?"... Excellent question. My initial answer was that I would have the power to persuade people to do whatever I want them to. Of course that could be used for good or for evil and while the idea of possessing such a power is fun to imagine, reality is that no one has that type of power. It did get my gears turning tho and I began to think about what super power I can possess and I realized that I am already a super woman.

I have the power to tell if my babies have a fever with a quick connect of my palm to their forehead. I have the power to make tummy aches feel better and tears turn to smiles and fear turn to bravery...

I have the power to turn a few ingredients into a feast. I have the power to hear things left unsaid just by listening a little longer and a little harder. I can make a stranger feel like I am an old friend in one conversation. I can paint pictures with words, make dreams seem like reality and the impossible a possibility. Woooow, I AM POWERFUL!

There are so many things that go into being a woman, so many responsibilities and duties and requirements but fulfilling them all give us power and I am learning to recognize, appreciate and enjoy the blessings that go along with having such power...

Every day I am becoming stronger and smarter and wiser and as Alicia Keys said even when I'm a mess... I still put on that vest with that "S" on my chest...why? Because I have to.. I want to.. I love to. Because I am a super woman.
