How to Speak Confidently {Confident You}
I’ve always liked to be heard. I have an opinion and love to share it. Speaking confidently in public was something that I was okay with. Nervous, but overall fine. You have to be if (like me) you’re prone to standing on your soapbox. I would present, and I could perform, but I often left…

5 Things Happy People Do {Confident You}
I believe that being happy is a practice; a way of living that anyone can do. There are exceptions, of course, there always are, but for the most part, being happy takes practise. I was stalking the web, as I do, and I came across this post from over six months ago, and it made…

Saying No & Feeling Good About It {Confident You}
I’m okay with saying no. If I don’t want to do something or can’t, I’ll say no without a second thought. It’s my right, I think, to do what I want with my time. It seems as though a lot of people don’t feel this way. I get that, it took me some time to…

Suit of Armour.
I was reading a biography years ago about a successful business woman in the late eighties working in the music industry. The name of the woman and the book both elude me now.

Being there for yourself {Confident You}
There is one person that matters. One person who you should work your whole life to get on your side. Only one, the rest can do what they like. That one person is you. They could also be the hardest person to win over. Are you your harshest critic? I know I always have been. Imagining, thinking…

Loving your body is just like any other kind of love.
Relationships take work. The relationship with your body takes work and I don’t necessarily mean at the gym. I post about my clothing choices, my life and my body in a bit of a haphazard way. Sharing and over-sharing when it takes my fancy. People assume my body and I have a rosy romantical love…

None of Your Business.
My general rule is that if someone doesn’t say it to my face, then it’s none of my business. A lot of people, women especially, love to tell a good tale. Dob even, on those talking about others behind their back. It’s a bit of a game. But I don’t want to hear about it.…

Every. Single. Time.
Every time you tell a woman to cover her chunky arms. When you question the health of a slim model or berate a fatter one. Every single time you tell a Mother to be discreet while feeding her baby. When you say those shorts are too short. Every time you decide that she should be…

The Skin I’m In
I asked for ideas last night. Ideas for things to write about and something to get me excited about writing it. I had scrapped a post and had nothing for today. I get a little itchy when things are left unfinished. Blank gaping holes that need to be filled. There were ideas about turtles, horses,…
