Do you love what you see when you look in the mirror?

Hello Fabulous Leading Ladies,

This morning I was reminded of an up-coming day to celebrate our beautiful, imperfect, diverse, magnificent female bodies and I encourage each of us to find a way to take part in the celebration.

Here's a little clip on it...


Hollywood and the fashion, cosmetics and diet industries work hard to make each of us believe that our bodies are unacceptable and need constant improvement.
Print ads and television commercials reduce us to body parts — lips, legs, breasts — airbrushed and touched up to meet impossible standards. TV shows tell
women and teenage girls that cosmetic surgery is good for self-esteem. Is it any wonder that 80% of U.S. women are dissatisfied with their appearance?

Women and girls spend billions of dollars every year on cosmetics, fashion, magazines and diet aids. These industries can't use negative images to sell
their products without our assistance.

Together, we can fight back.

Love Your Body Day 2007 is October 18

With tons of love,
