My husband coined that term on New Year’s Eve…and I thought it sounded a little selfish…until he explained: this is the year for all of us to own who we are and make no excuses.
For example, I LOVE to shop! That is who I am, what I love to do, and one of the things I am passionate about. I have built a business on that passion and am proud of myself for being able to help others feel good by encouraging them to find their style and dress accordingly. A lot of people ask me if I ski or snowboard all the time since I live so close to the mountains and I used to make excuses or play it down. Now, however, I tell them- I don’t really like to ski, I like to shop. So, my hubby and I go to the mountains- he snowboards and I shop. We both get to do what we love to do.
I highly recommend doing this: make a list of who you are and what’s important to you. Own it- it is YOU…no apologies.
This is so freeing! I We owe it to ourselves as women, as people, as the human race to BE who we ARE!! Sometimes it takes time to figure out what we ‘own’ but once we do, hot damn! We need to embrace it and live life, with what we own, to the fullest!!!! Thanks for reminding me of this, Tina! Now, about that list…
teen, i know i don’t need to apologize for being me! but my question is, “do i have to apologize to my husband for spending the money?”
