Jada Pinkett Smith Inspires Me Too!

Katie Holmes told PEOPLE "Jada is so strong...She is a rare woman – a phenomenal friend, mother, wife. She inspires me." Then adds Tom Cruise: "Jada tells it like it is. She creates art in her life ... She's effortless. She just has such class." Katie summed up not only Jada but also the woman that I continually strive to be everyday.

I am in the middle of my annual period of goals evaluation, goal setting for the upcoming year and examining who I am, where I am and where I want to be. This process lead me to do a brief study of various women who possessed traits and characteristics that I admire and the list began to form. The list includes so far Maya Angelou, Jada Pinkett Smith, and Lisa Ling and continues to grow everyday.

A new silver lining was revealed to me a few weeks ago in the form of the new addition of women that I admire. She is DiAnne Malone, the author of Who's That Lady?. I was so moved by the following passage in her very first blog post that I gasped!

As women of God, we should strive to posses that same glory and let it !bling! within us. People should see women of God and gasp in wonderment, “Oh my goodness! Who’s that lady?” Wouldn’t it be absolutely delicious for God’s glory to have such a profound effect on you and those around you? http://web.me.com/diannemalone/WhosThatLady/Blog/Entries/2008/10/13_In_the_beginning%2C_there_was_a_Who%E2%80%99s_That_Lady.html

I want to be a “Who’s That Lady”, do you?
