My big sis has been a major inspiration to me! I have always looked up to Theresa and let me tell you why. This woman has style; she can dance like nobody’s business and was always doing something awesome to that naturally
curly hair of hers.
Of all my sisters, she was the one I’d always tried to emulate.
Ok, so I spent many hours in the mirror watching her transform; she’d put on her makeup, comb her gorgeous mane and come out looking even more beautiful then she entered. I’ll never forget watching her burn eyeliners (yes, I was paying attention… don’t do it thoughJ), mix grease and water to make her hair shine (I think I messed my hair up one day trying to do that :-) ) and if I was ever jealous of anything, it would be that of all the girls in this family, Theresa is the one who came out with daddy’s HAZEL eyes (you know those should have been mine. LOL). Ok, enough about that, let’s have some REAL TALK.
Can anybody remember those high school fancy dancers??? Well, Ms. Tee was one of them and she’d come home doing splits and kicks; practicing those new routines, she knew every popular dance their was and she OWNED them; if that wasn’t enough, she also danced with our brother’s group; popping and locking… you guessed it, SHOW STOPPING! This girl is BADDDD!!!! She used to create dances for us to perform for our parents… we had a singing/dance group and it consisted of her, my lil sis, and myself; we always had a blast.
I remember when I first began to feel the tug of my entrepreneur’s spirit; I use to tell T., I’m going to open a hair salon – fitness studio combo and we’re going to offer dance. YOU (her) are going to be the choreographer! Talent like hers just can’t be wasted. Theresa is also one of the first members in our family to work in management and guess who followed in her footsteps, yeah, that would be me!!!
Tee, I love you and I never realized until I began doing these blogs how much I have gleaned from y’all over the years. You have been an inspiration and apparently a tremendous influence in my life. Watching you achieve so much helped me to garner a determination to do the same. I now possess an “I can do all things, achieve anything, and have the very best of anything” kind of attitude and though I give all credit for that to God and HIS
Word, I smile knowing that I first SAW it manifested in you.
I love you so much and pray that this day, for you, has been one of the HAPPIEST BIRTHDAYS EVER!!! Your little sister is proud of you and is always in your corner routing you on.
God Bless and MULITIPLY YOU!!!!
This is dedicated to the one I Love and LIKE! Today’s Recipient and Birthday Girl is: Theresa Poole, my big sis.
