celebrating the larger lady.

I know so many women who struggle with their weight, me included. Age doesn'thelp, if anything the pounds creep on more easily. But larger women are still beautiful. a woman said to me today - we should be grateful we got to this age at all - and - I wear my weight with pride, it took a long time to get to this weight. It takes all sorts big and small, fat and lean - all are beautiful and so, to celebrate the larger lady here are three ATCs dedicated to all we larger women.

Starting on the Road - first foot.

Just retired from work offically, still do a bit to keep my mind alive (and bring in some money, he,he). this is the time in life I wanted to do the things I have looked forward to doing at leisure, but, can I get the time NO!
So tomorrow I start on the road to my new life - what is it?
well, art and crafts of course - developing my artistist side ( a bit more) and the spiritual - especially mindfulness meditation. 
So to get started, here's something I did recently - a pencil drawing of my daughter when she was a child.

this weekend I was in Londonderry for the opening of the Peace bridge, bringing communities together, hope it lives up to its name. Maybe I should get involved in community work now I have time - but I guess that's how I end up never having time to do the things I love to do - vicious circle (lol).

Will keep you informed.
