To all the other #Gladiators, what are you guys doing to get yourselves through the SCANDAL winter hiatus? So glad the show will return on February 27, 2014!
TAKE ANOTHER SHOT…
As a manager, I had to mature within my own confidence to allow others to be free to make mistakes. I tell my team to “fail hard.” Who am I to insist on what success looks like or dictate a singular path for arriving there? I learn so much from sharing my own failures and those of others. We’ll get there… as long as the end goal is mutually understood.

HAPPY THURSDAY! The EAGLES rock in any decade…
Merry Christmas!
It’s here! It’s here! All the best to you and yours.
You Better Work!
I love this dress from “Long Tall Sally” and it is on sale! In fact, I recommend the store for tall women who are looking for clothes that make a statement. The fabrics are good quality and current for enhancing your bold fashion sense.

DESCRIPTION""
* Bodycon styling with cleverly cut panelled sides for a flattering fit. The scuba style fabric gently sculpts a sleeker, slimmer silhouette. Complementing curves in all the right places.
*Style note:*
This tall ladies dress is the epitome of understated glamour. From the rich texture of the gold toned hue to the elegant shift shape, this show stopping style is guaranteed to turn heads.
No Fat Talk, Please
HOW MUCH FAT TALK IS GOING ON IN YOUR NETWORK?
Most people fat talk without even realizing they’re doing it. As 2013 ends and the New Year begins, I pledge to limit the “Fat Talk.”
It was about three years ago when I finally recognized that our weight obsessed culture was stressing me out! I love chocolate and I am pretty sure that I need it for survival. I recognized that food and/or chocolate deprivation was servng no positive purpose in my life and possibly contributing to a nasty ass disposition.
My new approach is to love the fun and pleasure that comes with eating my favorite foods, and only giving those treats the power they deserve, rather than allowing them to have me yo-yo dieting throughout the year. Ultimately, the food has become more like extras in my life rather that the star attractions. I do like to incorporate some exercise and other healthy habits, but only because I look foward to activity, not because I fear some repercussion for inactivity.
I’m running this… No more Fat Talk or Fat Doctors, please!

SUNDAY REFLECTIONS
Philippians 4:11-12
11 I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. 12 I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want.

I’m Still Excited! TenaciousM Cannot Be Edited

I am reflecting on the occasions when I have been told to “tone it down” or edit the flash. Why? What is wrong with my big color and glamour? I think that the most important feature in anyone is authenticity. So, why should I dim my candle to make others comfortable with me? If God wanted me to be meek and unimposing, I figure He would have rethought the six foot tall height and instinctive desire to make everything around me bold and beautiful. The holidays give me a great opportunity to decorate my world from hearth to heart! Love, love, love the parties and chances to shower the people I love with gifts and gratitude. I am so very fortunate to belong to the amazing family and friends of mine. As for my gift from them… I am cool with the unconditional love that I receive throughout the year just for being me!
