HUMP DAY! Let's Celebrate

Yes ladies,

It's that time of week again, where the gleam of the weekend is just within arms reach. Yet, its still not close enough. Well, I thought I'd start the day off with some inspiring words:

"Itchy Gitchy Ya Ya Da Da, Mocha Choca Latta Ya Ya; Creole Lady Marmalade. "

I hope that helped! I love that song, and when it comes on, I don't care how my hair looks, what's jiggling or how I'm feeling, I break out into a dance and work it like Pattie and the Labelles (sans the space fits) ! AND, if it's the 2001 version with Lil' Kim ( of whose verse I know all the words) I get my little sway and just work it in the room (sans the lingerie) --" Uhn Uhn Uhn Uhn!!!"

There is nothing like finding the Sassy factor. That song that makes you feel like you are working it out! You either know all the words ( like me on Kim's verse) or you know the dance moves to a tee (read-Beat It choreography, Thriller moves, or House Party Kid 'N' Play Scene) . Perhaps you have a dress that no matter what, is still killer on you, or shoes that make your calves look juuust right. These are the moments that we truly celebrate ourselves. It happens to be far an in between sometimes when we just aren't feeling like ourselves! We see pictures of us from High School or College and then say " I used to look like this or that" or we see photos of others and say " I need to look like this."

We all have goals, but here's the thing. Celebrating who we are today helps us reach them! It gives us so much joy that we are happy with taking care of what we have! We will see the transformation in our physical and emotional health; no doubt. However, it won't be over night. It will over time.

So go ahead---- And do a dance, shake your booty, clap your hands, strut your stuff, and do something for you that celebrates who you are!!!

Ex. Yesterday, I bought some really cute Juicy C. earrings. I can't fit their clothes, and perhaps I should boycott instead of giving them free pub, but the earrings were SO cute and they were fun! So when I got back to my office, I put them on and just celebrated me!!!

WEDNESDAY CHALLENGE!!!

What do you do to truly celebrate yourself?? Do you dance, do you look at you in the mirror nude? Do you sing your favorite song (loud) and even mess up some words because you can't hear (you're singing so loudly)??? Tell us what you do. And some ways we can celebrate ourselves. I challenge you to celebrate yourself today! ( and everyday!)
