Musings...

I hope it is not telling that in searching for a photo of myself for this blog post, I could not find one of me alone!  That's ok, this blog is about my grandchildren anyway, so of course they will be the focus!  I like this photo of me in pink, even though I don't wear much pink!
I am reading a book called Inspired Style by a variety of top image experts.
I made a slow start on the book, but am now savoring each chapter.
Here are a few thoughts from the book I would like to share with YOU.

Love your body, love your life.  If you want to enhance your look and be able to project your best image, you need to choose to love your body.  You must accept your body the way it is right now, and go out of your way to give it love and tender care.  Looking good and feeling good about your body has nothing to do with your shape or size.  It is all about developing a positive body image and knowing how to love your body.  Once you learn to love your body, your self-confidence will soar, you will feel energetic and happy and you will be able to live your best life.

Reinvent yourself.  (I didn't realize it, but the author says this happens to most people at some point in their lives.)  I know the signs and symptoms, because it happened to me.  I had a continual women's intuition kind of feeling every day as I walked down the long hallway to my office that I was on the wrong path.  Like something was just not right and if I didn't make a big change, I would most likely lose my mind and waste the rest of my life!  It was the perfect time to reinvent myself.  The reason for me standing at that fork in the road was caused by my desire for something better - something more meaningful in my life.  I truly believe that I am adding each day to the GNP in my own way, by taking care of these precious little grandchildren.  I sure didn't feel like I was contributing to anything IMPORTANT when I was working at my old job.
