Lynnie 's journey
 I watched a new film in Netflix last night – “I am a woman”- about when a stranger comes into our life. I was captivated from the moment it started. For me, it was full of meaning, and the story was delivered so well. Life can start badly, and be a series of ups and downs, and then we can meet a stranger who may make us happy, but you have to be careful who you trust – the road of life is not easy to travel, and the world is not fair. Helen Reddy was successful in her singing career, and though her husband had his own problem (he was a drug addict). In the early years of their marriage, he helped her – he was in the recording agency business, but as he got worse, she supported him financially through his problems. Eventually she split with her husband. You have to give up when you have had enough. She had to move on and take care of herself and her children. I identified with her character – women are strong and not afraid to speak the truth and give their opinions. We will listen to others, but we won’t allow other people’s problems to bring us down. When we are filled with kindness, generosity, compassion and integrity, we are vulnerable and can be taken advantage of, but we will always come through if we are true to ourself. Lyrics " I am Woman" - became a feminist anthem of its time I Am Woman By Helen Reddy I am woman, hear me roar In numbers too big to ignore And I know too much to go back an' pretend 'Cause I've heard it all before And I've been down there on the floor No one's ever gonna keep me down again Oh yes I am wise But it's wisdom born of pain Yes, I've paid the price But look how much I gained If I have to, I can do anything I am strong (strong) I am invincible (invincible) I am woman You can bend but never break me 'Cause it only serves to make me More determined to achieve my final goal And I come back even stronger Not a novice any longer 'Cause you've deepened the conviction in my soul Oh yes I am wise But it's wisdom born of pain Yes, I've paid the price But look how much I gained If I have to, I can do anything I am strong (strong) I am invincible… Shot in the singer's native Australia but set in the US, the film features a winning performance from Tilda Cobham-Hervey as Reddy, with Evan Peters as her bull-in-a-china-shop husband/manager Jeff Wald. Chelsea Cullen, meanwhile, sings new versions of Reddy's hits, and just to keep things in the family, there's a new tune sung by Reddy's granddaughter, Lily Donat. For those who don't know much more about Reddy than the lyrics to "I Am Woman," and perhaps "Delta Dawn" and "Ain't No Way to Treat a Lady," her story is actually pretty inspiring, at least in the early stages. Arriving in New York as a single mom in 1966, she crooned in lounges and scrounged to get by, striking up a friendship with music journalist Lilian Roxon ("Patti Cake$'s" Danielle Macdonald) before meeting Wald, who promised "I'll make you a star" and pushed for their move to L.A.
