  • Girls, why posting sexy pics online is actually a bad idea

    A few days ago I posted this status: “When you continually flaunt photos of yourself half-naked (or always in revealing fitness gear/skimpy bikinis) you reinforce the message a woman’s best asset is her body, her beauty or her sexuality. There is nothing wrong with being healthy, fit and attractive, but surely women need to be encouraged […]

  • How to love the skin you’re in

    YOU CAN’T CHANGE THE SKIN YOU’RE IN SO YOU MAY AS WELL GET COMFORTABLE GIRLFRIEND! Regardless of your size, shape or colour you are beautiful according to the One who made you!

  • Dear Girl, You Are Loved

    Dear girl, You are so loved. Regardless of the names people have called you, where you come from or what you’ve been through. You are accepted, adored and valued beyond compare.  Stop wishing you were someone else, stop thinking you’re not good enough, pretty enough, popular enough. Listen to me – You are enough!

  • How you can stop wanting to be ‘her’

    Almost from birth, I think little girls are prone to competing and comparing with one another; they battle to be the prettiest, the smartest, the sweetest, the fastest.

  • Dressed in…….

    My usual attire is jeans and t-shirt or sweater. I am a simple gal. I wear no make up (because when I do I look just like me, except with makeup, and after all the fuss and bother of putting it on, I want more or different). My greying hair is going to continue on that route. […]

  • Be yourself… everyone else is taken!

    Be Who You Is – If You Ain’t Who You Is – You Is Who You Ain’t.  Or, Be yourself; everyone else is taken. There’s lots of cute ways to say it, but the message is… be yourself…the challenging part is to figure out who that is. Even at age 53 ¾ I drift on […]

  • Just a little something…

    You’ve heard the phrase or maybe used the phrase yourself, “Oh, It’s just a little something I threw together”!   Have you ever been complimented on something you cooked or a craft you made or even an outfit that you put together and been told you look great in it?  How did you respond?  Have […]
