FFF: The Traveling Red Dress

by bosssanders on February 3, 2012 with no comments

I’ve been drooling over these lovely red dresses over the past week or so — ever since I heard about the “Traveling Red Dress” from the Bloggess.  The idea is that women all over the world circulate these “red dresses” (which, sometimes aren’t dresses at all) to make each other feel beautiful and loved.  Photographers and Hair/Makeup Stylists are giving their talents too – it’s an amazing thing!  And, after each woman has her red-dress-moment, she packs it up and sends it on to make someone else’s day.

I’ve secretly been looking at photographs online of red dresses, wondering which I would choose if I had the chance.  I wonder how much of my story I would share, how much of the pain and raw I would expose just to empower other women…just like me.

I’m not really interested in writing sob stories – because if you look at my face, there’s no sobbing here.  –Not because I haven’t seen my share of pain and tears, but because I refuse to lay down and let it BECOME me.  I refuse to be overtaken.

Maybe I’ll never own a bright red ball gown – it’s something I’d never buy for myself due to the impracticality and price tag of it all – but, that’s not the point.  I adore the spirit of this entire campaign and hope women everywhere will find their own red dress, whatever that dress may be.  I hope they share their story.  I hope they conquer their pain.  I hope they feel beautiful.  I hope they hope.

If you want to search for your own red dress…or, if you’d like to send your own dress or talents to good use for someone else, check out this Facebook page.

And, if you have your own Red Dress Moment you’d like to share, please link up here.  I’d love to see your photos and read your stories!

Welcome back!

Stretching

by bosssanders on June 8, 2011 with 1 comment

I would like everyone to take just a moment to notice the title of this post…  uh huh, right up there.  See that?  It’s not pregnancy-related!  –Which also means I won’t tell you about how sick I may or may not be in this post!  Oh, small joys!

Life is slowly returning back to “normal” – or, at least the new version of what “normal” will be.

I’m going to be honest, this whole “almost-death” (it felt like it) pregnancy thing really messed with my blogging.  And, living.  There’s only so much to blog about when a) typing makes you want to hurl and b) you don’t DO anything but puke and lay on a couch.  But, now I’m slowly stretching out, easing back into the life of the living…where you, you know…DO things.  Go places.  Eat food.

However, as this sickness eases up a bit, I’m also entering into a new “adventure,” if you will.  –A stage in my life that is not only unfamiliar and uncharted territory, but includes things that I want and need to talk about…but can’t.  So, stick with me as I try to figure out how to do this, as I stretch my legs and re-learn how to do all of this.

Skechers – week 3

by bosssanders on November 22, 2010 with no comments

I’m back to wearing my Skechers again!

It only took going back to my “old shoes” to see a difference in how it made my knees and ankles feel.  And, considering I don’t generally have trouble with those areas, that was an interesting find for me.  (I’m wondering what it would do for those who do have those as their problem areas).

After a little bit of research, I realized I was walking in my Skechers wrong.  Well, not wrong, but I wasn’t making the most use out of them.  So, with a little modification of how I stepped forward, I was definitely feeling the burn.  With. Each. Step.

I’m loving the versatility of these shoes.  Depending on how I move my feet, my workout intensity changes and I’m not really doing anything extra!  I really like being able to mix things up!

Also, according to my husband, my calves, thighs and bottom are being toned too.  That’s always a plus, right?  He’s actually SEEING a difference.
