Popeye Was a Wise Man

I'm not gonna lie and say I am not tired of working, or tired of being in pain, or tired of sitting at a desk when I'd rather be outside playing, but, part of life is having challenges, and not always doing exactly what you want to do. My life is blessed in so many ways, one of which is that I can look in the mirror each morning, or each time I wash my hands, or walk by a window and catch my reflection, or pose in the full length mirrors at the gym and say to myself and unashamedly out loud "Dang, I am one sexy beast!" Sexy is a state of mind. No matter what anyone says, I am what I am, because I believe that I am, and that's ALL that I am. Like what Popeye says, but different. Happy Stay Sexy Thursday!

A Moment of Catharsis

Happy Stay Sexy Thursday. I had a moment of catharsis recently. Though, I've had the same moment, but different, over the years and at different phases in my life; this one was different. I'm older now. I'm wiser now. I'm willing to share it now. In my kinder year of school, I learned a song I have never forgotten. I shared the song a few weeks ago during a family night activity with my single's group. Here are the lyrics [reader's digest version] but keep in mind the importance of how we can keep sexy always in our minds, and how important it is to share that confidence with others, as well, and always striving to uplift each other.

"love is something if you give it away...
you end up having more.
It's just like, a magic penny,
hold it tight and you won't have any.
Lend it, spend it, you'll have so many
They'll roll all over the floor."

Sexy starts first in the head, then with the heart.

Catching My Reflection in the Mirror

Stay Sexy Thursday - Sometimes, I get so caught up in work that I forget what day it is. Not this week! I was working out at the gym yesterday morning with my friend Krush. I was doing rows and of course, looking at myself...err...watching my form in the mirror and thought/said out loud "Dang, I'm cute!" Maybe it was the colour blue I was wearing, but I was particularly pleased with my reflection despite being in my workout clothes. May we all appreciate ourselves a little more today, no matter what we're doing, wearing, or experiencing. Sexy starts first in the head, then with the heart.
