She’s Got Legs & She Knows How to Use Them

March Six Word Photo Story Challenge: “Movement” — Got legs? Use them — for life. Loved that ZZ Top song when I was a teenager. I danced in my bedroom in front of the mirror with my hairbrush microphone and swayed to the music. I pretended I was the sexiest girl alive with my big stiff permed Ice Misted hair. In my fantasy — I…

Why Ignorance Is Bliss When You’re the Underdog

How underdogs chase progress not perfection — “Are you just learning to swim?” That’s what a stranger asked me while I was joyfully swimming in the Pacific Ocean. I laughed and replied. “Oh — am I that bad?” I told him I’d been practicing open water swimming regularly for the past two years and I was surprised…

How to Tame the Envy Dragon: What Worked for Me

The power of grit vs. the poison of envy — She’s ripped, strong, and gorgeous — and I was raging with envy. “Wow — she looks amazing for her age. There’s no way we could look like that.” My friend, “The Doubter,” said this to me a few years ago at Christmastime in response to a photo I’d shown her…

Stretching My Legs Over My Head!

March Six Word Photo Story Challenge: “Movement” — Practice. One day at a time. I could lift my legs over my head easily when I was a kid. Although in the 70s and 80s, I didn’t know it was a yoga pose — I just thought it was a fun way to stretch my body! I struggled with this position during adulthood. I attempted…

Are You a Swinger Too?

March Six Word Photo Story Challenge: “Movement” — I swing to make a splash! Whenever I see this photo, I can imagine working up the guts to swing myself into the lake.
