I just felt like reposting today:Say Yeah… say yeah
By Jacquelyn Hughes Mooney©11
Say yeah...
Say yeah...
I say yeah.
Go down Moses…
Tell Pharaoh that I'm in an Effie mode today...
This is a hand on the hip, gutbucket groan….
That can only come from someone who knows...
Who’s been there more then on time?
In a scene where she be on familiar terms with stuff…
And stuffed people who distinguish themselves with nothing other then
Bits & pieces
(It is not yet their time yet)…
But knows experiences trumps assumptions
And one does not know
But knows...
When it is time to say yeah...
Say yeah
Say yeah.
To do what is necessary
To see what's possible
And then pull off the impossible
When one must say yeah...
Say yeah...
Say yeah...

I am taking a break this minute from doing & pushing, knocking on doors literally & figuratively.
And for whatever reason why, the song from the Broadway and the movie rendition of Dreamgirls popped in my head.
That determination, angst, anger clear, single-minded ferociousness so wonderfully done by both Jennifer Holiday (the original Effie) and Jennifer Hudson (movie version of Effie) said it all for me.
There's a point when you simply have to have that gut bucket hand on the hip un-huh yeah girl soulfull-ness with no shame or concern for how anyone or anything view it. Or what they are doing. It just need to be said or done.
"Say whatcha wanna, I'm not gonna leave ya..."
"I just wanna be free.."
Singer India Arie
Step up or step back, or get otta my way...Say yeah... Say yeah"...
For the record we can apply that to what each and every one of us are doing here, or any "here" that you are working on.
"Start by doing what is necessary, then by what's possible, & suddenly you are doing the impossible"
"Say yeah... say yeah"...
