Life Begins at 40.



Happy Blessed 40th Birthday to the Queen of my heart, my gorgeous mom, Ma, Aunty Mary, Auntizer as I affectionately call her. This phenomenal woman feeds my soul with her strength and wisdom and it weren’t for her unwavering support, guidance, love and care through my best and worst days, I would have been empty and lost soul. I am so grateful to God for blessing me with such a lovely and strict mother who loves me so unconditionally at all times. I pray that God can grant her a long, healthy, happy and wealthy life in all aspects. She deserves nothing but the best because she is the world’s greatest mom. Mom turns 40 today and she has the sweetest heart like that of a 16 year old. God bless her sweet heart because I love her immeasurably.

My mom who is young at heart and says “Hi girlfriend” every time she calls me and we never put the phone down without saying "I love you". The only woman who has my school ID picture on her steering wheel and on the glass that covers the speedometer because I might be out of sight but I’m not out of mind. My mirror reflection.


Happy 40th Birthday Ma, I give you full permission to start living your life like its golden because you have been so selfless and gave me your all at times, which i appreciate so much and thank God for you at all times and afterall, life begins at 40. 



Phenomenal Woman
BY MAYA ANGELOU
Pretty women wonder where my secret lies.
I’m not cute or built to suit a fashion model’s 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 step,  
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 in 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.
