Principle in the type:  "You see, it is not only that they bear us, but they continue bearing with us.  It is not only the prenatal carrying but the lifelong carrying that makes mothering such a staggering feat."    Jeffrey R. Holland

This is nice, right?   Have you seen it?   A big part of life seems to be not giving up.   Myself, I'm really feeling the burn this week.

Model and body-activist Ashley Graham has become the first plus-size Sports Illustrated cover model.  Though "she'd rather we do away with the" plus-size category altogether.  "It's a pretty big deal," that she models on both the cover, and the inside of the magazine spread.  Beauty comes in all sizes.  Or better yet, beauty knows no size.     story          

Principle in the type:  "[We are] becoming so concerned about having perfect figures, or straight A’s, or professional status, or even absolute motherly success that we are being torn from our true selves. We often worry so much about pleasing and performing for others that we lose our own uniqueness, that full and relaxed acceptance of ourselves as a person of worth and individuality.”      Patricia Holland

Not a big fan of the government-run-gambling-thingy-programs that go on.  I know, it can be tempting though.  I didn't cave, did you?   Here's what you were thinking when you threw your hard-earned money at the Powerball, right? 



                                  

Principle in the type:  "May I plead with us not to be hurt--and certainly not to feel envious--when good fortune comes to another person?   We are not diminished when someone else is added upon.  We are not in a race against each other to see who is the wealthiest or the most talented or the most beautiful or even the most blessed."  Jeffrey R.
