The other day I bought a pair of new pjamas. I didn't think I needed a pair. Hadn't planned on buying a pair. I was wondering around Target for the second time in as many hours and there they were. On the way home I was debating with myself as to whether or not I was going to wear them that night. In the shower, I decided that I would.
Believe it or not the next morning, the huge brain fog was lifted! That entire day I was able to see outside of my 'funk' and no longer felt stuck. My eyes were open for the first time in a good while. That night in the grocery store a man in the check out line to my left gave the cashier $100 in cast to pay for the woman's groceries BEHIND him. No, she wasn't his mother! He did not even speak to her. Amazing. More amazing is that I probably missed all kinds of random acts because I could not see outside of myself.
Do I really think my new pjs have magic powers? No, but they prove that sometimes a small change in environment can adjust our attitudes which can lead to wonderful discoveries. And yes, I will be wearing my pretty new pjs for many more nights. That was the best $20 I ever spent. In case you are in need of a little attitude adjustment or just some pretty new pjs mine are the orange floral ones by Gilley & O'malley from Target.
For a very long time, no one told African American women that they could fly, so there are very few of them as commercial pilots. This website is for inspiring women to fly. Flying being defined as succeeding. Succeeding defined however you decide. We are simply here to tell you sistergirlfriend, YOU CAN FLY!
