I spent most of my life being a pleaser….wanting to make others happy, avoiding confrontation, going with the flow, over-nurturing men in relationships, putting myself last, etc. Then this wonderful thing happened: I turned 40 years old.

I looked at the picture my teacher was showing and thought, “I can’t really relate to any of these old white haired men”.

I can’t remember the last time I bought a women’s magazine. I love fashion but I don’t like the fake ideology many magazine covers represent. When the world’s most beautiful supermodels, actresses, and entertainers are airbrushed and photoshopped what message does that send to women???

We are all familiar with Hans Christian Andersen’s worldwide tale of The Ugly Duckling…a homely barnyard bird lives a life of ridicule and hardship then matures and blossoms into a beautiful swan. This fairytale ending comes to fruition for many young girls who went through that awkward stage of acne, braces, glasses, bad bangs, perms gone(…)
