So, I have a total of  thirteen more working days until I retire. I am young and have a lot of living to do, art to make and lives to touch. My boss at work Rudy Ronovan refuses to assign or ask me to do any work and then she accuses me of not being productive. I have been at the job for thirty years, ten years longer than my best friend was alive, longer than any relationship I've ever had.  The only thing I've known longer is my family and I love my family. The job is an abusive relationship and I know that without it I wouldn't have what I do but I took beatings often to get through thirty years.

The good news is that Rudy does not nor does the job define who I am! I have figured out that I am a strong leader, I am smart, and I am WOMAN! And this song sums up how I feel.

“I am woman, hear me roar” by  Helen Reddy and Ray Burton
I am woman, hear me roar
In numbers too big to ignore
And I know too much to go back an’ pretend
‘Cause I’ve heard it all before
And I’ve been down there on the floor
No one’s ever gonna keep me down again
Oh yes, I am wise
But it’s wisdom born of pain
Yes, I’ve paid the price
But look how much I gained
If I have to
I can do anything
I am strong (strong)
I am invincible (invincible)
I am woman
You can bend but never break me
‘Cause it only serves to make me
More determined to achieve my final goal
And I come back even stronger
Not a novice any longer
‘Cause you’ve deepened the conviction in my soul
Oh, yes, I am wise
But it’s wisdom born of pain
Yes, I’ve paid the price
But look how much I gained
If I have to
I can face anything
I am strong (strong)
I am invincible (invincible)
I am woman
I am woman watch me grow
See me standing toe to toe
As I spread my lovin’ arms across the land
But I’m still an embryo
With a long, long way to go
Until I make my brother understand
Oh, yes, I am wise
But it’s wisdom born of pain
Yes, I’ve paid the price
But look how much I gained
If I have to
I can face anything
I am strong (strong)
I am invincible (invincible)
I am woman
Oh, I am woman
I am invincible
I am strong
I am woman
I am invincible
I am strong
I am woman
