Extra! Extra!

February 15, 2020 By Carole

That surprise I told you about yesterday? It’s ready. Or should I say, it’s published . . .

Diet Culture Is Everywhere — Even In The Workplace

That’s right, friends, I’ve been published! The piece I wrote a few months ago about the women’s workshop I went to has been published on the Scary Mommy page! I’d love for you all to go on over there and read it, click on it, share it on Facebook or twitter . . . whatever you can do to help it be read by lots of people would be so awesome.

Thank you for encouraging me to do this and thanks for being loyal readers. Does this make me a real writer now?

    Pretty sure you were considered a real (good) writer before. Congratulations on putting yourself out there and being recognized in a positive way.

    Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have some reading to do.

    Great article, Carole! You were already a writer, you just had not found your audience. I’m glad that you don’t feel very bad, but I am really sorry you have the flu. Bummer, with a capital B!!! Feel better soon.

    Congratulations! You have been a real writer for years now, but it must feel very rewarding to be published and recognized! The subject is one we need to talk about and push forward. Thank you for putting yourself out there and for bringing to light the importance of women communicating professionally.

    What a great article Carole – congratulations on getting published!! of course I already consider you a “real writer”. Interesting topic, too. I’ve had a few conversations about diet culture lately; these two podcast episodes really got me thinking about it (https://www.thelazygeniuscollective.com/lazy/foodrules and https://www.thelazygeniuscollective.com/lazy/noflaws).

    I LOVE LOVE LOVE this. As a mother of a recovered anorexic, I am so tired of hearing women put women down. It is a)superficial, b) judge-y, and c) none of our business. I’m with you; let’s all do better (and can we put away the phrase “…for her age.”?!)

    Excellent! Congratulations on being published although I think you have been a real writer for a good long time.

    Congratulations, Carole!! That is/was a wonderful piece — I remember it well from when you first shared it here.

Today’s @aliedwards Pieces of Us prompt is Face Today’s @aliedwards Pieces of Us prompt is Face Forward. If there’s anything I’ve learned in my 55 years, it’s that facing forward is the best way to live. All the things in life, good or bad, can be resolved this way, our problems only multiple if we try to skirt around them. True satisfaction comes from looking life right in the eye, doing your best, and finding the joy. #aepiecesofus #thisismyface #faceforward
These hands. They are 55 years old and they show t These hands. They are 55 years old and they show the wear and tear of those years. The washing and moisturizing, the attempts to hold the approach of aging at bay. They’ve held and comforted so many loved ones, they’ve changed diapers and checked out books at the library, they’ve typed countless words, they’ve cooked and cleaned and done everything I’ve expected and I appreciate every bump and age spot and ... they are mine. #aepiecesofus #piecesofme #myhandstellmystory
