And yes, I'd like to lose some weight, simply because diabetes runs in my family. But I've come to realize so many of these magazines foment deep dissatisfaction because they are looking to MAKE SOME MONEY off people. If they can make you feel like crap, then their efforts to sell you Self-Esteem in a Bottle are more likely to pay off. It's poison, and I'm learning not to drink it.Soozcathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12549632685008663664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21719159.post-20033528273450754482008-05-29T15:39:00.000-07:002008-05-29T15:39:00.000-07:00MAcy has a bright future.

I totally agree, I am so tired of tuning in to Oprah or other forms of media telling me one day to invest my money more efficiently and the next day to go out and buy the latest cool $700 pair of jeans. <BR/><BR/>Anyway (after this little shout-out in agreement from a stranger, lol), I am Emily, mom to Macy (almost 1 year old) who has DS and 2 wonderful older brothers. I found the link to your blog on the UDSF site and have enjoyed reading a bit. Macy also had open heart surgery at PCMC (when she was 5 months old) for an AV canal defect, she also had a mitral cleft. <BR/><BR/>I must say your DD is incredibely adorable! Seeing her makes me look forward to the future with Macy!Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07926915232445773060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21719159.post-34048492215376497002008-05-28T19:07:00.000-07:002008-05-28T19:07:00.000-07:00I agree it can be exhausting and frustrating and m...I agree it can be exhausting and frustrating and make it really difficult to be happy with what you have...I've been trying to be more happy in the moment lately.

And I reminded her that I'd leaned over and said, "just what I need. Something else to be inadequate at." And we laughed again.<BR/><BR/>That said, I've recently read a self-help book that DID make a difference to me: <A HREF="http://http://www.womansfieldguide.com" REL="nofollow"> Woman's Field Guide to Exceptional Living.</A> You'd get inspiration from it, as would the woman down the street, the nurse (or pediatrician) you see, all women hungry for "a little bit, or SOMETHING, more." Corrie Woods has a really engaging style and I just have to believe you'll take something away from the quotes, the artwork, the practical advice, the wisdom.<BR/><BR/>In the meantime, maybe stay away from women's magazines!Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12553309379795237911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21719159.post-46867200235898681232008-05-28T13:07:00.000-07:002008-05-28T13:07:00.000-07:00I agree with Country mouse.

You know what I listed you as Super Mom. You seem so amazing and put together. I was only save October 2006 after my husband almost died in Iraq. Since then I have been working on making life the best it can be with less. Because in the end what you have dosn't matter. I glad you agree.

It's necessary for them to erode your sense of yourself until you want everything they have to offer. Preferably several of each.<BR/><BR/>I'm not immune, but I try to be mindful.The Country Mousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09479189803192938572noreply@blogger.com
