9.3.10

Aretha had it all figured out..

I will never cut my hair for a man again.

I will never allow him to make my decisions.

I will never allow him to tell me what to do.

I will never allow him to tell me what to believe.

I will never allow him to shut me off from anyone.

I gave love, honor, respect and received evil.
I was not perfect. But I was caring.
He needed perfect. Too damn bad.

I am not and will never bend to a man's will again.

Today I am a new woman with new strengths.
I will love like no one ever has.
I will show honesty and kindness to all.
I will be loved for who I am,
not for the person you turned me into.
I am me. Not anyone else.
I am a person who has hopes and dreams,
and you will not take them away from me.

I will be respected from this day forward.
