The older I become the more I realize life is cyclical. When I was younger I EXPECTED my body to perform on command—and usually it did. These days when my bod complies I stop, take note and appreciate. I *long* to pass this body confidence on to the Tornado and yet—while it’s a huge priority—I [...]
Im a tremendous fan of Mara‘s. She’s wise beyond her years. She lives her life OUT LOUD and entirely authentically. She’s one of those rare women you meet OFFLINE and discover she’s even more amazing in person. This post is at my demand by request. I think we all need more Medicinal Marzipan in our lives. [...]
Hi Carla, I was going to post this as a comment, but it seemed too embarrassing (I guess I’m not flying my freak flag yet) to be over 40 and still looking for approval/wanting to please others. “Love this message, but somewhat stuck on the implementation. How do I quit looking for external validation when [...]
We like Shrek the movie(s). We LOVE Shrek the Musical. It’s cute, filled with catchy tunes & it’s a show all of us adore which isnt always the case. The Tornado & I, however, share the same favorite song. The first time we saw the musical she immediately leaped to her feet & sang [...]
Yesterday I brought the Tornado to see Shrek the Musical. Again. (she requested the harry potter specs. she knows not who h.p. is.) You cant see but Im wearing these shoes. again. So glad I listened to all of you (especially Charlotte) and didnt return them. I love. I feel fancy. I look on the [...]
(That’s not me hooping in the pic above. This is a guest post. Sorry for confusion.) I picked up my first hula hoop in March of 2008. It was a kid’s hoop, pink and filled with water. I picked it up, and it fell to the floor, again and again and again. I wasn’t really [...]
Ahhhh. If you live in the USA you may still be feeling the, uh, repercussions of the great Thanksgiving Stress-out. Family, food, schedules thrown for a loop, routine being replaced by mayhem— all that. No matter where you reside we’re pretty much all thisclose to being knee-deep in holiday frenzy. A few weeks ago I [...]
Thanks Miz for sharing the purple spotlight today. It’s my color, it brings out the green in my eyes. I’m Rita. I parent a delightful young lady. I am in mad crazy love with a police officer who saves the world from evil every day. I am in college to get my degree and become [...]
Yes we wear these constantly. Yes you may join us. Today, People, is National Love Your Body Day (or, if you live in our domicile, it’s simply Wednesday. We behave as though every day is NLYBD up in herre). And yes. Im here to shout from the proverbial rafters that I DO. I love my [...]
It has been about eleven months since I wrote my initial EXPOSED post and a year since Mishe started the Exposed movement. When she emailed & asked if Id blog about my thoughts/experiences since I first being EXPOSED I knew immediately what I’d write. *immediately* It’s amazing to me what a difference eleven months can [...]
