Pink

I watched a "Behind the Music" style documentary about Pink yesterday.  It struck me, more than ever, what a complete bad ass she is.  Not for the first time I found myself admiring a strong woman for her vision, sense of self and take no bullshit attitude.  It isn't about running over people or displaying cruelty - the women that I admire never seem like the kinds of people who are mean to people just because they can.  Point of fact, anyone who is truly comfortable with themselves and their power has no need to conduct themselves that way. 

Aside from women in the public eye that I greatly admire, like Pink, Meryl, etc, I am also blessed with a number of wonderful examples of strong women in my life, including a few that I only know on-line.  As I struggle now to try and pull myself out of some dark days, I am going to try and keep asking myself "What would these women do?  Do they know how to say NO when needed, loudly and clearly?  Would they bother themselves with trying to keep others happy, despite their own desires?"  After all, you're never too old (or perfect) to have role models in your life.
