Pretty women wonder where my secret lies.
I'm not cute or built to suit a fashion model's size
But when I start to tell them,
They think I'm telling lies.
I say,
It's in the reach of my arms
The span of my hips,
The stride of my step,
The curl of my lips.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.
I walk into a room
Just as cool as you please,
And to a man,
The fellows stand or
Fall down on their knees.
Then they swarm around me,
A hive of honey bees.
I say,
It's the fire in my eyes,
And the flash of my teeth,
The swing in my waist,
And the joy in my feet.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.
Men themselves have wondered
What they see in me.
They try so much
But they can't touch
My inner mystery.
When I try to show them
They say they still can't see.
I say,
It's in the arch of my back,
The sun of my smile,
The ride of my breasts,
The grace of my style.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.
Now you understand
Just why my head's not bowed.
I don't shout or jump about
Or have to talk real loud.
When you see me passing
It ought to make you proud.
I say,
It's in the click of my heels,
The bend of my hair,
the palm of my hand,
The need of my care,
'Cause I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.

Sandy,
Hello dearest,
Oh thank God I am past that stage now. I certainly don’t envy you. Hope the kids are gonna be OK soon.
Good luck with the book launch – it’s a very BRAVE subject and I commend you.

Oh my friend, tks for the visit.
It feels like is a never ending stage when they are that small (and sick) but they actually grow up so very fast that you end up wishing they would stay like babies for a bit longer…
Well, sort of, sometimes. Maybe when they are sleeping. LOL
I know the book will be highly critized and will equally be adored by people who will resonate with my story.
I am open and ready for both reactions, I just needed toget it out of my system more then anything, hence the Releasing bit of it.
I am actually writing a private message to you right now.
Speak soon Gazza,
Always lovely to see your gorgeous self, speacialy if in my motherly home.
Lot’s of love,
Sandra

Sandra,
Marcus is inspiring people all across the internet…
And, I’m glad he’s done the same for you.
Keep up the videos… They only get better.
Last time I came here I forgot to tell you my 10 year old snapped his arm in half at a
soccer game. Watching it happen in real time was quite crazy.
Isn’t it amazing that somehow we know what to do when crisis hits our kids.
Hope your family has a much healthier future.
Cheers,
Rob
