Why Do You Want To Look Younger?

June 27, 2008

Mary wrote a great comment at the end of the article This Month in Vogue : Sex in Magazines . She questioned why young girls today try so hard to be seen as sex objects. I define a sex object as someone whose only feature or purpose of interest is sex. Any other aspect of their being is expendable.
This same question applies at the other end of the age spectrum as well, doesn’t it? Women have themselves carved up and injected … for what? What is looking younger going to get us?

IS “FEEL THE FEAR, DO IT ANYWAY” WRONG?

March 8, 2008

Feel The Fear, Do It Anyway is the title of a great book by Susan Jeffers. For a long time, I used that phrase to guide my actions. I figured “You stay outside your comfort zone, you continue to beat down your demons.”
Then the Law of Attraction, or LoA, came along in the form of Esther and Jerry Hicks. You can read my article on their book, The Amazing Power of Deliberate Intent. That book did more to change my life than any other “self-help” book has
