Women buy the majority of magazines and are the gender most affected by the prevailing trends. High fashon models are so waif thin that recently two models died from anoxeria during fashion shows. They existed on soft drinks and lettuce. Libby interviews Cynthia about her days as a model to find out how the perception of the ideal body has changed. The important message of this interview is that it’s important to be a role model to your children by loving your body. Understand that photos are retouched and air-brushed. There is no such thing as perfection. In fact, the average American woman wears a size 12 and weighs around 146 pounds. Get medical advice, take care of your health, and don’t look at the celebrities as mentors. The best thing to happen at the Oscar’s this year was that Jennifer Hudson won and is considered sexy. You go girl!
In T42 the Stella Donne Goddess Gals talk about the power of sanctuary and being yourself. We have all been taught the Golden Rule-”Do unto others as you would do unto yourself.” Most of us treat others with respect, care, dignity, and love. However, have you ever stopped to analyze how you treat YOURSELF? When Cynthia speaks at seminars, she always asks her audience, “Who is the most important person in this room? Inevitably, they point at her and reply “YOU”. “Yes,” she responds, “I AM the most important person in the room to ME, however YOU are the most important person in the room to YOU.” Why is it that we don’t give ourselves the time and power of being alone? A lively discussion that will have you creating space for yourself to enjoy just being in the moment with YOU.
