Feb 27th “If I have to, I can do anything”

I Am Woman

by Helen Reddy

on I Am Woman (1972), Live in London (1978)

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 do 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

I am woman
I am invincible
I am strong
I am woman
I am invincible
I am strong
I am woman

This song is so awesome.

Hearing this when the Carolina Panthers win a home game is the greatest feeling ever.

It had become our official song.

Neil has a fantastic voice which makes the songs he sings something special. 

He imparts feeling to each song a quality few singers have nowadays.

I feel he really means what he is singing. 

That is the reason in my twenties Neil Diamond was my favorite male Singer.

Feb 25th “Super Woman’s Name will be, Powerful Katrinka”

 “Powerful Katrinka”

When you hear  some words, and or names that sound kinda “funny to your ears” – that is, when you are a little kid – they have a way of getting stuck in your brain, somewhere, “YOU” remember them for always!

My Mother had the best command of the “English Language” and with her voice and diction – she could have been a stand-in for actress, “Betty Davis”  and she reminded me of my MOTHER… any time, that  I saw her in a Movie.

When my Mother wanted your attention – she had that  type of voice, to let you know exactly, what she wanted,  and there was no way for you escape – the distinctive words,  came across so very clear!

As I grew – up, getting taller- and was always able to reach and to do  that which she was not able to do – my Mother would refer to me as her, “Powerful Katrinka!” 

I always thought, that I was the next “Super Woman” since, I was so able to do whatever Mom wanted me to do. 

There was that time, when my Father was not around and not available to hang the  “Storm Windows” and with the cold weather coming  on strong, something had to be done NOW!

 Mom needed those “storm-windows” hung and she was unable to do the hanging – as she was not able to carry then up from the basement.

Just…My luck… (I was the only one around and available to be told how you get these windows up,  from the basement – without breaking – clean them – and then  hang.)

We lived in North Saint Louis and you may have seen this type   of window  on some of the older homes. The height was at least 6 foot and in an all in  one piece, with the hanging hooks at the top.

So, this job  was for me, to bring each one up from the basement – without breaking – wash both sides and dry.

The windows have all been washed on the outside of the house – so that when, I am ready to hang  a “clean storm-window”…  we will have clean and clear glass to see through.

“That  includes both the house inside and outside windows…  “those” and the Storm windows…  were just so sparkling clean!”

There were “6 storm-windows” for me to hang – Now…  just thinking about doing that job – I’m worn out and just could not begin, to do any of that work,  that I was  involved with … but, at that time… the job  just had to be done!

This was just one of those times, when I remember being called, “Powerful Katrinka!”

“My guess was that,  that “name” meant that,  I was as strong as any  “Superwoman”… as I was always there, and always  available, to do any kind of work… that needed to be done!”
