SPRING IS IN THE AIR

I woke up this morning and stepped outside and fell in love.

SPRING IS HERE!!!!

It is gorgeous outside. I might love New York but I HATE the winters. I feel like I am not myself. But anyway who cares the spring is here

Every time the Spring Season it makes me step back and look at myself. I start looking at my body…the woman’s body is an amazing.


PHENOMENAL WOMAN by Maya Angelou


Artwork By: Olivia De Berardinis

Pretty women wonder where my secret lies I'm not cute or built to suit a model's fashion size But when I start to tell them They think I'm telling lies. I say

It's in the reach of my arms The span of my hips The stride of my steps The curl of my lips. I'm a woman Phenomenally Phenomenal woman That's me.

I walk into a room Just as cool as you please And to a man The fellows stand or Fall down on their knees Then they swarm around me A hive of honey bees. I say

It's the fire in my eyes And the flash of my teeth The swing of my waist And the joy in my feet. I'm a woman Phenomenally Phenomenal woman That's me.

Men themselves have wondered What they see in me They try so much But they can't touch My inner mystery. When I try to show them They say they still can't see. I say

It's in the arch of my back The sun of my smile The ride of my breasts The grace of my style. I'm a woman Phenomenally Phenomenal woman That's me.

Now you understand Just why my head's not bowed I don't shout or jump about Or have to talk real loud When you see me passing It ought to make you proud. I say

It's in the click of my heels The bend of my hair The palm of my hand The need for my care. 'Cause I'm a woman Phenomenally Phenomenal woman That's me!!!!

I AM WOMAN HEAR ME ROAR!!!!

EVERYONE ENJOY THIS SPRING DAY!!!!!!!

I always liked the female body :)

Of course most males do for one reason or another.

This is one of my favorite poems. Good choice. Can you smell the spring air?

From here? No, being on a military installation, all you really smell is other people, though the birds sound nice.

Being this close to the water too, it's a new smell for me, I never realized I'd be this close to the Gulf, so I guess for smells it's alright :)
