I dreamt I was a tiger, the Tigresse of Ranthambore. Almighty, Almighty, Hear me Roar. The Indian sun shone down and warmed my fur. I licked my huge paw and yawned. Oh, to be the one whom everyone fears, They are all in hiding, from the antelope to the deers. But I can wait. I glide my tongue along my immense teeth, I am a glorious, most beautiful beast, Take a look and you’ll agree. My senses are heightened, at full alert, Who to eat for dinner and then dessert? My strength and power I will soon assert. And they will fall. But I only take what I need. To be a natural animal is to be without greed. I must merely walk around and the others I lead. That is the way it should be. Please be wary and watch your step. I may seem calm but I haven’t leapt. And I just might.

BAAGH

Hello Lovely Ladies!
When I was in India a couple of years ago with my father and little sister, we went to the Ranthambore State Park to see the tigers (baagh). It was a wondrous and exotic place and I was enthralled with the tiger’s strength, commanding presence and sheer beauty. The pure, natural nature of … Continue Reading

Soapbox Rant

Hi Ladies!
I hope the week is going splendidly wonderful for you all. I myself am doing great except for the ridiculous things I have to endure on tv, in the news, etc. So I am stepping up on my pink soapbox and shaking my fists at how morally lame people can be. Here’s what I just … Continue Reading

Before I SCREAM I won’t show that I’m upset. I won’t talk of despair or regret. BEFORE I SCREAM I won’t tell you of my hopes, my fears, I won’t talk about my dreams. BEFORE I SCREAM I will not alter my thinking or change my daily routine. BEFORE I SCREAM I won’t speak of the anger building inside, Or wipe off the polite smile behind which I hide. BEFORE I SCREAM I refuse to clear my conscience and forgive myself my wrongs, I will not smell the flowers or listen to my favorite song. BEFORE I SCREAM I will not ask for help and come to you on bended knee. I won’t look in the mirror and take a look to really see. BEFORE I SCREAM I won’t talk of compassion or camaraderie, Of mutual distrust or blatant misery. BEFORE I SCREAM But if one more person asks me how I am doing, I WILL SCREAM

Hey Ladies!
Have you ever had a really bad day? Yeah, me too.
Here is a poem I created just for such an occasion: Before I SCREAM
I won’t show that I’m upset.
I won’t talk of despair or regret.
BEFORE I SCREAM
I won’t tell you of my hopes, my fears,
I won’t talk about my dreams.
BEFORE I SCREAM
I will not alter … Continue Reading

October 13th, 2010, In Loving in the Pink, Single Ladies in the Pink, by Lindsley

I wrote these a few years ago after attending one too many weddings and wanting to remind myself of what NOT to do should I ever (God willing) get married. It is fun to look back at them now that I am married and I think it is wise advice (some of which I didn’t … Continue Reading

When I was single, which was not too long ago (before June), I had written a lot about the trials and tribulations of being single. This excerpt particularly made an impact on me because it really summed up what a lot of single women are feeling and how other people’s seemingly innocent comments can be like … Continue Reading
