Resilience

So what was fab about me yesterday? RESILIENCE. I roll with the punches REAL well.
What punches did I have yesterday? Well, returning from Brazil did not quite work out like I wanted but instead of getting pissy about it, I just kept on rolling.

First Post

So I was sitting on a beach chair trying to look out on the ocean of Barra de Tijuca in Rio De Janeiro last Friday... everyone in the beach looked great, amazingly. All the women had bikinis. Even the chubby ones!! Even they looked amazing!

And here I was, sitting with my black old lady style one piece bathing suit. Pale. Alone. And one thought suddenly popped in my head.

INADEQUATE.

And the thought following that was - what the ?? And I remembered. My old 'not good enough' tape must be running in the background.

WHY should I let it keep running? And I had a brainstorm. Why not have a Fabulous Journal? I've heard of "Gratitude journals" where people write daily what they're grateful for. Why not write daily about what's fabulous about ME?

So here I be!

And my first fabulous thing about me is - this post ;)
