I've got the silver streaks My hair has lived through many trips A real natural beauty With some personality From my lips.

The message I did not realize how special today is until I saw a beautiful Whats App message with its proclamation! For everyone celebrating being a woman and those who appreciate the women in their lives, I'm sharing  - The Total of a Woman . You may have seen it before, but today, it's meaning is extra special! Orchids Orchids have fascinated me for many years. They have a unique quality and scent which seems very feminine and sultry.  These flowers are beautiful, strong and colorful, like us women. They need some water but can go for a long period without, always sharing their beauty before they come to an end. They are resilient, long lasting, exotic, and complex with an aura of fragility. They are orchids...just like you and me or the women you know.
