Getting Comfortable in Your Own Skin
What does it mean to be comfortable in your own skin? It's about expressing yourself in a way they feels the most appropriate. When we think about expressing ourselves, we automatically think of the superficial ways. How we dress. The way we wear our hair. The car we drive.
If you wear jeans and a T-shirt one day and a business suit the next, what is it expressing about you? Is it that you are sophisticated one day and unsophisticated the next? Actually, your outer appearance expresses very little about who you truly are. Instead, when we talk about expression, we should look at what's harder to change about ourselves. Our habits. The words we use. How we treat people.
And, most importantly, how we express our spiritual gifts.Ah, spiritual gifts. That elusive term. It's also known as your calling. But how do you express those properly? We could each have similar gifts, but decide to express them differently. For example, let's say that 3 women are trying to figure out the...

How to Avoid Weight Gain During Chemotherapy
For Patsy M., the cancer was bad enough.Then came the chemo and her energy level took a dramatic tumble while her once trim figure ballooned. She tried watching what she ate. Cut down on portions. Nothing helped. The weight kept climbing.
When she asked her doctor she was told to exercise. It was the best answer to chemo weight-gain. This wasn't what she wanted to hear. She didn't feel like exercising. Some days it was all she could do to move from bed to couch.Then a friend told her about a neighbor who was going through chemo as if it was a Sunday school picnic.
She continued shopping, visiting friends AND EXERCISING. Claimed it had to do with taking some simple sugars called glyconutritionals. "Sounds like one of those whiz-bang miracle things, if you ask me," Patsy replied. "You see them advertised all the time and most of them don't have a stitch of healing in them." Her friend nodded, "I agree, except glyconutritional is a scientific name not a brand name. And my...

The Dress Code, Handled with Emotional Intelligence
It strikes terror in the heart of some of us, while others ignore it completely. Some of us are relieved there is one; others of us resent it. The Dress Code: Does it affect your career, affect whether you're hired or not, affect how you're treated on the job? Definitely. How do you ?manage' this particular area of your life? It requires emotional intelligence ? some awareness, creativity, flexibility and intuition, and a whole lot of common sense. For instance, in former years I applied for a job at a major international law firm.
At the interview, we were handed one sheet of instructions. The second item they chose to put on this piece of paper was, "Since you have chosen to work in a conservative work environment..."It went on to outline their strict dress code. Two of us were hired. The other one later complained to me about the dress code there. I maintain - she knew when she signed up, she agreed to it, she had no leg to stand on.
If you like to work out certain...

Sell Your Bu** Off
Sell Your Butt Off================================================ On a recent television show "Girls Behaving Badly" a bewildered
public was caught on tape staring at the backsides of 4 women who were "fighting back" at those men who allow their pants to fall below their butt and show the famous "dent".
These 4 women paraded their behinds (their end results) around the streets of New York City. These ladies bent over provacatively to pick up imaginary dimes from the sidewalk.
The ladies did a slow roll downward to get a newspaper from a machine.
Exposing their butt thonged cheeks was the main goal of the exercise.
The reaction from onlookers ranged from outrage( mostly ladies)to sly smiles of amusement, smirks, and quick furtive glances from the men.
Ninety-eight percent of the people who glanced, snickered, or made comments about these ladies' exposed butts lookedfor 20 seconds or more. Commercials on TV don't get this...
Fisherman Sweater History

At sea, and in town, it is a symbol of simpler times when you could look good in something that was designed just to be practical and keep you warm, not to show off a label in order to be some kind of status symbol like many garments manufactured today.The fisherman sweater has its origins in Brittany. Surprisingly it was not the fishermen that started to wear them, but merchants who during the 18th century travelled to England to sell onions, these merchants wore an item of knitted wool clothing that made them recognizable from a distance, the garments...
