WOW! Thank you Angie for this wonderful birthday card. And Scarlet, thank you also for your kind words. I am not surprised that you are a Cancer too. I really enjoy your contributions too! Always so smart too. Congratulations on future little one. Looking forward to your WIWs. Happy birthday to you! Isn't it great to be born in the middle of summer? We can wear something light and breezy and nice shoes in the evening... Hope you are having a wonderful time, surrounded by the ones you love.
It's only 7 am here as I am writing, and all this has already happened.
Angie, your good words are going straight to my heart. This forum is a wonderful and unique place, full of empowerment and knowledge. It has allowed me to dare experiment and frankly, has completely changed how I dress, and how I shop (in a positive, more mature way). Everybody here is kind and helpful. And you are the best teacher ever. I am always looking forward to your blog posts and am never let down. I have witnessed with amazement and delight so many members' transformations, like flowers blooming. It is such a happy moment when a member has a style epiphany or shares a new style direction. Posting our outfits demands courage at first, but is most instructive once you do it. I have never had a sister with whom to share about dressing, fashion and style... now I feel I have a whole army of members with me!
And Goldenpig, another mom, another Cancer, I LOVE your style. You have inspired me so many times with your sense of detail and cute items. You go from working clothes to funky fun mom-on-the-go so easily.
ManidipaM, you are right, I have not posted lately, much to my regret because I continue to evolve with YLF. My photographer (son) has been away for his annual visit to his father in the States. But I just got myself a new phone, with a better camera, and hope to discover how to take good shots of myself so I can keep posting.
The year that just passed turned out to be a bit rougher than expected for me, with personal, family issues demanding my attention away from here. I did not post as much as I would have wanted to. But I trust that this year will be much different. It has already started to change for the best.
I am turning 44 today. You know what? I am finding with every year that I am happier and happier!
Thank you everybody for your kind wishes!
PS: Scarlet tell me if you did swim in the end I myself am ready to go swim this morning
