Happy Music Monday! 
Today’s song is from a few years back, but it’s a great one! I have to say, I LOVE Martina McBride. There are only a few other singers out there that even come close to embodying ‘Girl Power’ the was Martina does. As a woman, it would be impossible to listen to Martina’s music and not feel the love, passion and power that pours out of it. In her song, ‘This One’s For The Girls’, she touches on the challenging stages every woman goes through in her life.
One of my favorite lines in the song is, “Every laugh line on your face….made you who you are today.” This line impacts me deeply, especially being a mother. One of the biggest struggles every mother faces is the way her body changes after having children. The stretch marks, scars, extra cushion and wider hips. We look at this marks and changes as diminishing and embarrassing.
We don’t see these marks for what they are…pieces of our soul and physical representations of what we have accomplished and endured throughout our life. Those stretch marks, saggy boobs and wider hips are just a testament to what we are made of…. They show that we have the strength, courage and stamina to bring new beings into this world and nurture them with all that we are. Every single ‘mark’ made you exactly who you are today.
The other line I love is, “Yeah we’re all the same inside, from one to ninety nine”. This is one of the biggest pieces of the puzzle that so many women either completely miss, or take a while to discover. We all are the same inside. No question about it! So why do young girls -and even older women- get caught up in caddy girl vs. girl fights?
We have the capacity to form amazingly close bonds with other women, or the capacity to rip other women to shreds. When we loose sight of the fact that every girl on the planet endures the same frustrations and struggles, that’s when we turn against one another. Being a Momma of two girls, I never want them to loose sight! We are so powerful when we come together!
As you watch the video, really let the words and the energy permeate your core. I promise you won’t be the same afterward….
Let us know what your favorite line of Martina’s song is and how it touched you! 
This One’s For The Girls!! Remember to cherish all of the women in your life. INCLUDING YOU!!
Love & Hugs,
