Whooo Hoo! Time for Mama Kat’s Writing Workshop…
This week’s prompt? What is one of your life’s mottos?
For me, this is easy. I’ve named my blog my motto: I’m still fabulous!
Why? There are a lot of reasons but for me, in particular, I want to maintain a sense of self even if my “self” is shared with a husband, a daughter and a job.
I see it so often. Women, mothers, wives… they get caught up in the lives of everyone around them, but they neglect themselves. I’m not saying you need to stop everything, ignore all everything around you and focus on you, but I think it’s important to take some time for yourself to remind yourself of who you were before you were a mom, a homemaker, a maid, a cook… you know, all that jazz.
For me, it is when I exercise or run. It’s the time when I am all alone. I can think about everything… I can think about nothing. And running gives me something to be proud of. I get giddy with excitement when I run a little farther… a little longer. I smile when I think about how I completed my first half marathon, and I am reminded of how fabulous I really am.
So I encourage you to do it with me. Do something that makes you feel fabulous, even if it is only for a minute. Buy and wear a new, expensive lipstick. Get dressed up for no reason at all. Look in the mirror and smile knowing that despite all the personas you wear every day, You Are Still Fabulous.
You are indeed fabulous. 2010 is going to mark the return of me time…I’m committed to the cause.
I think you are correct. There is something about everyone that makes them unique and fabulous! Thanks for reminding us!
Was there ever any doubt? Everyone is fabulous. You just have to recognize the fab and celebrate it.
I love this! It’s so important to keep a piece of yourself. I love working out too when I can stick to a routine. It’s a great way to exert your energy, negative AND positive.
