I don’t have much to say on this other than

YAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

For it’s Spring 2010 edition, models.com (see more shots on the model.com site) is featuring REAL women with REAL curves and are not photoshopping out the rolls or making them slimmer through computer magic.  Another check in the column of Be Beautiful, Be YOU!!!

It makes me shiver with antici – p – p -p – pation!  Celebrate with me that the fashion industry is getting the message.  And celebrate your beauty along with the beauty of these models.

Hugs!

It was my birthday on the weekend. Thank you, thank you for all your well wishes.

I have a challenge around my birthday. Like those children born right around Christmas who often have no birthday celebration, mine is the day before Valentine’s so I often get one or the other or a combination.

When I was a kid I had hearts and cupids decorations for my birthday. My mom really wanted a Valentine’s baby and just missed, so she made up for it with red decor. When I started dating, I often missed out on having both days honored. Being the day before the “big” one, it was easier to take me out for my birthday as most people would be going out the next day. One gift would do. Flowers were rarely given because they’re so ridiculously expensive.

I met a young woman recently who had the same birthday. I asked her if she had heart decorations for her parties. No, she said, her mom was always very adamant that she understand – and that the men in her life understand – that the two days are totally separate and should be treated as such. Good on ya, mom.

It wasn’t until my 40’s that I found a man who got it. I not only got a birthday and Valentine’s dinner, but I received a beautiful bouquet and handmade chocolates on Valentine’s in addition to the earrings for my birthday! Thank you so much, even though we’re not together anymore, that year was very special.

It’s so easy to take things that have been as the way they are. And, remarkably, when you change your expectations, you find those that will rise to the occasion. It’s called the Law of Attraction or, more recently, The Secret. It’s all about attracting what you want through your thoughts and energy.

I got what I wanted this year. I had a great birthday and a great Valentine’s Day despite being single. The latter didn’t include a romantic dinner and expensive chocolate, and it was great fun.

The same is happening in all areas of my life. The clearer I get on what I want, the faster it comes. I’m amazed almost every day at the things that are coming up. It’s an exciting journey. I hope you’ll continue to let me share it with you.
