Walking a Mile in New Boots

Hi all!
Yep, this post is all about the boots…

Well, not really. I’m finding myself wanting to tell everyone what is happening in my life right now, but it is a personal journey not yet ready to be revealed. I can say, that I have lost over 10 lbs, which I am happy about. I spent the greater part of last year trying to find plus sized clothing that either didn’t look like a giant tent or cost a gazillion bucks for a single tee. Pouting though thrift shops while loading up on scarves. Meanwhile, my boobs grew into giant melons that were really heavy. I embraced the new challenge, as I think all bodies are beautiful, but the clothing choices really suck around here. Now, I am fitting back into some of my favorite clothes, and I gotta admit, I’m glad. I will post on how and why it happened some other day…..

Back to the real message:
It’s so much more than that. More than body-image. Much more than size issues, but about self discovery – self love, and giving myself permission to explore more non-conventional ways of bringing my mind and thoughts into harmony. To not allow others to dictate how I feel about myself. I am learning how to bring my desires to fruition. I can say it involves meditation. It involves reprogramming the lies I allowed myself to believe. The patterns that were imprinted onto us even in the womb. I am learning what real beauty involves. It is very exciting and scary at the same time. You see, we as women have been given limitations since early childhood.

So, here at 48, I am finally discovering how to really enjoy the life I am currently living. I am pretty sure it involves giving rather than receiving…
