Plus Size Diva

I was doing some work the other day for a client of mine and one of the articles was talking about positive self talk, and the words we use on ourselves and how destructive those words can be. I didn’t really think a whole lot about it at the time.

It has crossed my mind a few times since though. What really made me think was how when I get a compliment from someone I usually follow it up with a ‘whatever’ or ‘you’re lying’ or even worse something negative about myself that I don’t like; instead of simply saying thank you and taking it as a compliment.

It’s hard to remember sometimes that our situations aren’t as bad as they may seem at the time.

I may not be super model material. I may never be a size 5. I may be big my entire life. I may always have people that insult me instead of seeing the beauty that I know I have.

But…It could be worse. I think that sometimes we draw inspiration from people that have circumstances far beyond what our minds could imagine.

I have seen this video several times and have posted it to my Facebook account on several occasions. But I wanted to share it here to, just in case one of you haven’t seen it.

Remember ladies…You are beautiful – Just the way you are!

I love this time of year. Spring is my absolute favorite time of year although my allergies don’t really like it much…lol

We start planning our summer vacations around this time. Yeah I know we should plan them sooner…but I’m so not a planner so this is as far out as I can go…lol

Every year I take my two little girls on a girls trip. We usually spend a week at the beach. This year we decided to head north a bit and go to VA. We are going to Williamsburg, VA. The resort has several pools and we are within an hour from the beach if we decide to go for the day.

Going on vacation means having a swimsuit for pool or beach time..blah! I dread shopping for swimsuits. (more…)
