be-YOU-tiful

DateTuesday, November 1, 2011 by AuthorKristin Zecchinelli

Well ladies what a month it has been. A month all about YOU. Celebrating YOU, challenging YOU, and our greatest hope, inspiring YOU.

You were brave, silly, tired, adorable, relaxed, authentic, grounded, vulnerable, inspiring, thoughtful, determined, hilarious, happy, and oh so real.  (just to name a few)

You inspire us with your courage and willingness to turn your cameras around and shine the light on yourselves. Perhaps for some of you it was the very first time. That is a powerful, beautiful thing. Do not forget that you deserve that light.

Thank YOU.

So let's celebrate ourselves one more time today and give this past month its proper send off.  If you have not yet felt brave enough to try a self portrait, today may be your day! Go ahead,  show us YOU.

To honor all that you are, and all that you bravely shared with us in October, we happily announce the three winners of our Moo and You drawing. (photos below)  Congratulations ladies!

 1st place. at heart,                   2nd place. ever so slightly off center,       3rd place. moi says HI!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We will be announcing our brand new One Word for November tomorrow.  See you then!

Totally spaced on getting this into the YOU pool but I took this one last week in San Francisco, one of many self portraits I took on my California vacation. http://www.flickr.com/photos/manifeisty/6285296276/in/photostream

The greatest gifts in life are not purchased, but acquired through hard work and determination. Find the star that twinkles in your heart?for you alone are capable of making your brightest dreams come true. Give your hopes everything you've got and you will catch the star that holds your destiny.

Take pride in your accomplishments, as they are stepping stones to your dreams. Understand that you may make mistakes, but don't let them discourage you. Value your capabilities and talents for they are what make you truly unique.

who, for the sake of pleasing the king, had been obliged to assume an amiable mien towards this whole rustic rabble of Flemish burgomasters, and to regale them at his H?tel de Bourbon, with a very "pretty morality, allegorical satire, and farce," while a driving rain drenched the magnificent tapestries at his door. http://www.digbbc.com

But the team acknowledge that further research, involving a larger number of people, is needed to ascertain how effective the therapy is, particularly in the long term.
