It’s terribly difficult to try to please everyone! You all know that. Some never even try and I’m happy for you. Others, as a matter of fact, don’t give a darn and don’t attempt to do so. Good for them! But, yes, unfortunately I do care!

I have read your comments. I have heard your calls. And, you know what? Despite them all, I am not now, or ever, going to play a role and be someone I am not.

You say I should toughen, should fight and ask that I take on a position that is not only un-comfortable to me but un-natural for me. And you call that brain power…or the lack thereof.

The suggested theme song, I Am Woman, fits me about as well as a size 2 petite. I do not roar! I am not “just” a woman which is defined simply as an adult female person. I’m way more complex than that…and I’d bet you are as well…more than just another angry man OR woman!

Actually I make no apology for who I am, and what I believe. I am proud of being a lady which is defined as one of refinement and gentle manners. I don’t yell…I don’t swear (not publicly anyway) and I don’t lose my temper in order to make my point! If you do, fine, but, that’s not me!

I have respect for you and do my best to treat others the way I like to be treated. I will never attempt to change your opinion on any topic with hateful words, but will do so with love.

Call me weak, call me stupid, call me whatever you like if you feel better by doing so. But, I will tell you right now, while I care about your thoughts of me, I sleep very well at night.
