[What did I learn today? Lessons on the Journey to Unconditional Self Love] Baby we can do it

You know you ought to slow down. You been working too hard and that's a fact Sit back and relax a while Take some time to laugh and smile

Lay your heavy load down So we can stop and kick back It seems we never take the time to do All the things we want to, yeah

Now, baby we can do it Take the time, do it right We can do it, baby (Take your time SOS Band)

My cousin and I loved this song! We would hear my aunt playing it when we
were younger and she would be doing all the disco moves. We would peep into
the room and see her boogie-ing away. After we would sing it with the brush
as a microphone and try to do the disco moves, from back then I knew
dancing and signing were two gifts that were not under my tree but I
persevered! As we got older the song took on a different meaning to us when we sang it,
we can do it baby was our rallying cry to do what we needed to do, to be
large and in charge, to do it right, to take our time and get it! I heard the song last night and it brought back the memory of our eagerness
to do it and do it right! No matter what happened we we would take our time
and do it right.We would be at the top of our game, we would make our
family proud. I stopped when I heard it and started signing it like when I was a little
girl back at my grandma's place with my cousin and it reminded me that I
really ought to take the time to do all the things I want to, to laugh and
smile because I took my time and did it right. This one is for you Sana- we did it sis and we did it right! Peace!
