Ladies First

Well hello again ;-)~,

I will make this short and sweet. This isn't about Book II or one of the characters; it's about the FLOTUS. I happened by an article on Michelle Obama and it got me to thinkin'...

I love the POTUS: Barack Hussein Obama. I do. Like I love chocolate and children that others gave life to.

But I am in love with Michelle Obama. I am. Like I am in love with life, liberty and the very pursuit of happiness. Ok, so I am waxing a bit poetic, but seriously...

Michelle, for me, is like a mentor that for one reason or another just can't HEAR me but speaks out to me with answers to questions I have yet to form. Saying and doing all the right things at the perfect moments. Straight. No chaser.

Reading an article on her "changing of the guards", I was tickled at both the smooth and swift ways in which her Chief of Staff Norris was non-explanatorily replaced.

She walks into a room of kids, graduates, politicians and continues to revel in her calm Me-ness.

Wife. Mother. Lawyer. Business Woman. Black Woman.

Good grief, Michelle, how do you make it look so effortless?
