Everything about you is amazing.

self-esteem

What if there was nothing wrong with you? This idea has been sitting with me frequently. How much could we accomplish in the world if we took everything we are trying to “fix” about ourselves, everything we beat ourselves up over, everything we hate and accepted it? Let’s take it a step further: What if we celebrated everything about ourselves? Let’s take me: I have a big butt and big thighs. My skin isn’t perfect and my 34 years are {Read More}

Living Without Compromise

Journey

Please welcome little blog’s newest contributor, Lisa Zahiya!   Last month I randomly found myself alone with a day to myself in Atlanta, GA. I felt grateful, in the midst of a busy spring, I was able to do a favorite activity – walking a big city, earbuds in, with some dedicated thinking and dreaming time. I set my mind to what I wanted this year and moving forward in my life. I was thinking about all the things I am {Read More}

Our married life has been happy.  Though some could never fathom it, we spend nearly every {Read More}

“Designer Valentine” Giveaway

Betsey_Johnson_bracelet

I am not particularly interested in designers or their labels.  I am certain they are even less interested in outfitting my plus size body.  This works out well for all concerned, as my purchases have always been based on the way an item looks, fits and feels rather than who made it. Because there are so few designers making anything larger than a 12 or 14, and because I’m never actively seeking out specific lines, they rarely find their way {Read More}
