What I Miss

Image hosted by Webshots.com by © aksinovits

I just recently came back from Idaho ("home") where I spent time with family and participated in a bridal show. For me, to walk down the cat-walk, trying to do "real" runway style, is completely out of my comfort zone. But you know what, I had so much fun doing it and hanging out with a great group of women. It surprises me how much of "myself" returns when I go home. I feel renewed, strong, confident... When I return to VA, I feel as if parts of me disappear. Why? I haven't figured it out.

we miss you and you did rock that runway if I do say so myself. I understand the dilemma of not knowing who you are in certain places. it eventually all comes together though. Sometimes we ARE just more one way than another in different enviroments.

okay so no one sent me the memo that you are officially blogging now! I had to go to that "sparky" blog to see that you left her a comment--welcome! how awesome is this? we loved having you here. i also was surprised at how much of a good time i had last weekend too. the girls were the best part. nothing catty or competitive--how rare? isn't life such a puzzle? i've been where you are. when I moved to idaho from the east coast it took years before i felt i was inspired to be myself and not hide behind my husband--who he knew and what he did. it will happen for you too--us strong ones always have to make our entrance eventually. i think the key is making your location-- "yours". i had to change the rules alittle by making things work for me and i had to let my voice be heard. if i couldn't campaign for myself effectively then how could i expect anyone else?
