Rare.....

    I was challenged to do a new blog post and call it "Rare", of course me being me I accepted the challenge. I know that when I was asked to write this, that it should be about me and how "rare" I really am. However as I was driving to a friends house to get my hair did, it came to me to write about "rare" in the following context. I may step on a few toes and such but hey I wouldn't be me if I didn't speak truth.....

   Why is it that society tells us to be one way and yet in our minds we see ourselves completely different? Why is that when a friend tells us we are beautiful we blow them off? Why is it we see a beautiful woman/girl and we look with envy or we look with a sneer? Why is it that when we someone not so beautiful and we make jokes about them? Why is it that we as woman just can't be happy with the here n now? Why is it that woman just can't learn to be happy by themselves? Just curious....

   The definition of "rare" is an event not occurring very often. "Rare" is defined as unusual, uncommon. "Rare" is not as common as you would think. My belief is that we will not have "rare" woman around us because being like that takes to much effort to get there. It's easier to believe that we should just settle for what we have instead of going for "rare". What if we all decided that we wanted to be that "rare" woman who was confident every day of the week even though we like to sit around in sweats and baggy t-shirts all day? What if we as woman could be like that those confident woman you see walking? How "rare" would it be if we as woman decided that we were enough that we didn't need a man to complete us? 

   "Rare" for me is learning that my body is rare. There is no one else who has a body like mine. God made me "RARE". To me "rare" would be very comfortable in my own skin. For me "rare" comes across as being confident and not ever having to fake it. "RARE" for me is stretching me past my boundaries and being okay knowing full well I will not break or crumble. To me coming to terms with the fact that my life is okay a bit twisted at times, a bit full of appointments but that it's really okay, it will not keep me down. I want to be remembered as a "rare" woman not medically speaking but in everything speaking. I want to be that "rare" woman that doesn't matter who is around me I will always be comfortable with me. Never have a doubt if I am good enough, or anything like that. 

   "RARE" is doing something right the first time and knowing you did it right with no doubts. "RARE" is finding that one girlfriend that you can spill your guts to and know it's safe, finding that one girlfriend that even though months or years go by you can always pick up right where you left off. "RARE" is finding real love. Yea I know some of you just shook your head and said but I have found my true love, my real love. Here's the thing though in the world that we are living in today, it is so very hard to find a true real friend, let alone find real love. In this day n time too many people out there are all about themselves and what they can get from you. It is very "RARE" to find that one good friend, we won't even say friends, because you can count yourself blessed if you find at least one true friend. Real love don't even get me started on that. That may have to be another blog post for another day. 

   "RARE" is just like the word itself, hardly in anybody's vocabulary these days. It is "RARE" for someone to get the help they need and truly change from it. I asked a friend today how many truly seek change and then take the time to put the changes into practice and to also stick with it till you are done. He said not very many, in all his years of helping people he said only a handful really want the help maybe I should say change not help. I am very thankful that I have those few close friends who have helped me along my journey to changing me into the woman of God I was intended to be in the first place. 

   Do you want to be remembered as a "RARE" woman? Do you want to leave a legacy of rarity to those you love and will leave behind? For me I am holding out for that thing of real love, I deserve it and expect it. For me I want to always be remembered as being "RARE". I want to be able to help others into becoming "RARE"!!!
