“For every hero in this world, there’s at least one shero.”

This is the quote on my flier today from one of my favorite online stores, the Hippy Chix Shop. www.hippychixshop.com

In honor of my Sex and The City/The Movie countdown, I feel I need to turn you on to this site, just in case you’ve not stumbled on it yourself. After all,

what is more fun than wearing some “where did you get that?”, funky, unique top? And there are dresses, too. I love the line “Funky People” I’m definitely one of those.

You are going to be blown away by the selection. The Skinny Minnies/Libertalias (new name for S.M.) are to die for. I have a few Skinny Minnies and they fit great. All kinds of sizes. And while you’re browsing the site, check out the owner, Jeannette’s skinny. My kind of girl.

It’s all at Hippy Chix, it’s all in, baby and you will be, too if you don one of these hot numbers.

25 days, not counting today…see you at the movies. 

“50 is the new 25” got a big laugh (and a round of applause from me) when the Sex and the City girls visited Oprah for some promo on their new movie.
(Cynthia Nixon/Miranda made this comment for the record)
Wait a minute, I don’t feel my age…I still feel 25. But the great advantage I have is that I know so much more than I did then.
When you’re in your twenties, you think that whatever you decide to do is it.
Everything is so serious, the decisions made seem to be etched in stone.
A time to feel carefree and a time to improvise, but I feel more comfortable in my skin for that kind of activity now. And I’m a lot older than 25….
I remember waking up on my 40th birthday and thinking, you know what, I don’t give a crap, this is me, love me or leave me and I love who I am and I’m ok with that. I liked the feeling of finally settling in, losing the fear, taking chances and not worrying about what anyone thought about my choices and dreams.
I’ve decided for the rest of this year, I’m going to be bold, even bolder in my choices than I usually am. More spontaneous than feels comfortable. Dreaming bigger and better than ever, not taking no from myself as an answer.
And while I’m doing all that, I’m counting down to the opening of “Sex and The City/The Movie”. Those are the kind of girlfriends who would encourage me to go for it.
26 days to go and counting.
