Own Your Beauty at BlogHer is dedicated to changing the way women see themselves, talk about themselves, feel about themselves. After reading their mission statement below, I knew I had to be a part of the movement happening there. I've taken the pledge to change how we think about ourselves, as women.

I am proud that a post I submitted to Own Your Beauty at BlogHer is syndicated there today.


As BlogHer states it, so well:


Let’s take all the energy we've spent on endless loops of negative feedback about everything from the way we live our lives to our butts, our hips, our boobs and, for pete's sake, even our ankles - and use it instead to power something positive and meaningful.

Let's celebrate the beauty of authenticity and share it with everyone we know.

  1. Oh man. Women, as a whole, need to do this. That said: I'm skeered.

  5. It comes as no surprise that you're involved with this. How do you do it all, Empress? And yes, I'm back. :) For the moment.

  6. Thank you so much for re-iterating this on Blogher.

    Since I have become "just past 40", I have come to realize that the superficial goals for my body, don't do justice for what is on the inside.

    Oh, I do want to present myself well. However, I no longer dream of being Barbie. And that, is the best gift I have been able to give myself.
