It’s a bird. It’s a plane. No. It’s Superwoman, and she is my wife. Everyday for the past twelve years, I’ve looked into the eyes of a heroin. I have seen her drive many days as I lay in my bed. She was up, pacing the floor, making calls, doing paperwork. Many a day, I have passed out onto my bed while my wife, like a super-powered woman from another planet, continually plans and works to better the lives of her family, friends, and fellows. My wife is Superwoman. Her drive and passion for her children and family demonstrates this.
Her Super Powers
Every super-powered heroin has abilities that make them such. My wife is no exception. One of her powers is her resilience. She wasn’t permitted to walk across the floor and graduate with her class. For many people, this would have been the death nail for their economic and academic goals for the rest of their life. But no. Not for my Superwoman. She pressed through the villainous pain of disappointment to seek GED classes on her on accord and with very little support. She completed the courses and earned a GED, and, later, she earned two more college degrees.
Her dad was a DART bus driver. She admired the long buses and had it on her bucket list to earn her CDL (commercial drivers license) in order to drive the buses for DART (Dallas Area Rapid Transit). I recall her failing the CDL test over and over and over. Each time, it would crush something inside of me. I felt like a victim of a random act of violence; however, my wife would try again and again and again. The last time my wife took the test she passed it with flying colors. I remember her taking the test prep booklet and marking it up until almost every line on each page was either annotated or highlighted. I didn’t say it, but I secretly admired her strength, her resilience. Sometimes I hurt more from her setbacks than she apparently did and, perhaps, could have been more supportive and less critical, although I typically called it (constructive criticism). The truth is that I could not have had the amount of setbacks she had at the time, but I didn’t realize where she at come from. Superwoman started from the bottom and grind to get to where she was. She was denied the opportunity to walk across the stage at her high school and enrolled herself with very little support into GED classes. What was something like a CDL test going to do to stop her?
Next, my Superwoman had always wanted to be a realtor. She often mentioned that she would dream about showing houses to people as a little girl but didn’t really know the job title. So, she set her powerful gaze on another goal and went for it. Deja vu. She didn’t pass the first time. She would take the test and retake the test and retake the test, all the while overcoming her fear of tests but not really being conscious that her perception of tests and assessments had changed. After all, it was a test that held her back in highschool. On the day she passed her real estate exam to become a licensed realtor, we partied. I recall telling her that if she passed on her last attempt that I would take her out to some nice place and spend a bunch of money in celebration. I don’t recall where we went, but she did pass, and we did celebrate. I do recall that we had a lot of fun.
Her Passion for Humanity
My wife is a fierce mother. Don’t mess with her children. Many teachers, church members, and strangers have learned this the hard way. But beneath that fierce, lion-like temperament, she has an insatiable desire for improving the well-being of her children. If you’ve followed my posts, you’ll know that my oldest son has Autism. This has created some needs and resources that go beyond those needed for our other children. We want our kids to have a great education and opportunities just like any other parents. My wife is motivated to creating a high quality of life for my children. Several years back she was apprenticed by a multi-millionaire real estate investor after starting investing on her own. We saw many changes in our own lifestyle and developed a plan to be financially independent by 2030. These principles and strategies are within my wife’s’ heart to share. She would often speak to me about the everyday Joe lacking knowledge of fundamental wealth staging principles. It was in her heart and mind to compile a simple, straightforward guide to help anyone wanting to learn the fundamentals to becoming financially independent. So, she wrote a book, “Positioned for Power.” Since she released the book about a week or two ago, she has been receiving texts and messages, meeting with different people about how this book is changing their lives. A woman yesterday informed my wife that she has just realized a dream career after reading her book. She truly wants everyone to know the fundamentals of building credit and finances. This is why she is my Superwoman!
