Michael commented on a blog I did today titled, I Am Not Wonder Woman, I Am The Invisible Woman. This is what he said to me, " The process is to become the invincible woman and to shuck the invisible woman Suzette!!"

Do You Remember The Very Talented Helen Reddy?

This brought back a memory of my beloved older sister who passed many years ago. She loved Helen Reddy and listened to her vinyl records all the time.

The song that came to mind was, "I Am Woman".

Helen wrote the lyrics and it became the theme song for the woman's movement. I do not recall the year (late sixties- mid seventies) but I can tell you that it was a very different era then what we live in today.

Here are the lyrics

I am woman here me roar
In numbers to big to ignore
And I know to much to go back an' pretend
Cause I've heard it all before
And I've been down there on the floor
No ones ever gonna keep me down again

[chorus]

Oh yes, I am wise
But it's wisdom born of pain
Yes, I've paid the price
But look at how much I've gained
If I had to, I can do anything
I am strong, I am invincible, I am woman

You can bend me but never break me
Cause it only serves to make me
More determined to achieve my final goal
And I come back ever stronger
Not a novice any longer
Cause you deepen the conviction in my soul

[chorus]

I am woman watch me grow
Standing toe to toe
As I spread my loving arms across the land

But I am 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've grown
If I had to, I can face anything
I Am Strong, I Am Invisible, I Am Woman!

Thank you Michael and the legendary Helen Reddy!

It was 1972 Suzette and I remember the tune to it well. Thank you for the call out. Just believe it, live it and you will be it. Enjoy the journey ahead!!

So was it hard not to "sing" the words as you read them? It is for me :). Thank you Michael the joy is coming back!

Funny how this type of experience leads to discoveries. It lead to my post today about the Beatles' Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band! :)

Sometimes being invisible can sneak up on some people.
