As always, lovely to hear from you Sue. Your piece is as inspiring as ever.
I found myself with a weekend to myself this weekend, so Friday evening I attacked my wardrobe, putting anything I didn't like any more or didn't fit into a bag for charity. Then Saturday I went shopping, only to come back with next to nothing!! All I found were cheep, poorly made, clothing. I wanted a jacket and knew I didn't want fussy and wanted something to throw on over anything, that would look casually me. Everything I found was cropped and showed my menopause tummy off to a tee!! No thanks! Ah well back to the drawing board, I'm not settling for anything that doesn't bring me me joy. A very wise woman taught me that 😊💕
Loved reading this and particularly what inspired you to write it. Clothes do reflect our state of mind and what we feel about ourselves. I know that comfort is key as is fit. As a recovering anorexic, I don’t want to try and change my body to fit in with a supposed cultural norm. I tried to disappear instead of owning my body shape and feeling grateful. Now I wear clothes that I like and which reflect who I am. Before, I used to dream of being thin and saw it as a way of feeling more confident and more accepted. How wrong I was. They only saw the anorexic and she wasn’t me! Now I work at being me and that puts me in a much healthier place.
I really resonate with your comments here. They only saw the anorexic - not the real me. I hadn’t thought of that but, looking back, it’s exactly what people saw when I was in the room. How wise of you to put this into context. I am really glad that both of us can put this behind us and celebrate fully who we are.
Sue, brilliant as usual. The formula is great and works every time. Thank you for all you've taught me in training and application. I truly feel comfortable in my own skin and my clothing reflects it.

‘What do you want the world to know about you right now’. What a wise teacher indeed
Exactly. Wish I’d thought of it!

That is so good to hear Clarisse and I know it’s true because each time I see you, you radiate
