This is not fat!


This is not even unhealthy or unattractive. I am taken aback that the media is making comments about Tyra Banks' body. Uh...hello...she's flippin' gorgeous! I was equally appalled at comments made about the Dutchess of York way back when. What's wrong with being a size 14 or 16?

When did "beautiful" become synonimous with "stick?"

Grrrr!

I am sooo with you on this one Dar!
I have two plus size, absolutely beautiful daughters and one daughter(currently 16 who is trying to be a size 2) and also beautiful (I'm predjudiced) but thinks she's ugly because she's not as small as Nicole Richie or the Ashley twins!
I hate what this countries media is doing to our daughters self-esteem!

It's funny in a not very ha-ha way but i was thrilled recently to get down to size 16, yet i can remember when i was a size 1 (no, i do not kid you) and still thought i was fat. I sometimes wonder if i didn't create a weight problem for myself by obssessing about it.

Oh and i guess i should clarify - i wasn't anorexic - it was called "starving artist with no money to buy food" syndrome.

For sh*ts and giggles

I give good readings. Norse Tarot readings. The cards are my own design. I've been doing readings as "party favors" for 35 years. I've been doing readings quite successfully on the Liquid Silver forum for quite awhile, too. When I was 13 years old I could have gone professional, but my mother, in her infinite wisdom, protected me from becoming a local media victim. She is a retired psychic minister. I grew up around this stuff! She taught me to share my gift and never to charge exorbitant amounts. I've been charging $5.00 for twenty years, or just doing that "party favor thing."

I'm going to start offering personal, full readings via email to my blog visitors. Not three-card quickies like I do on the forum.

$5.00 per question (one question per reading, please). No "life and death" questions. Remember, readings are supposed to be fun! You can pay by paypal or you can buy one of my books, forward me the receipt at darragha @ gmail. com (no spaces) and I'll accept that as payment.


If you want a three-card quickie for free, ask at the forum :)

Thank you, and I look forward to tossing the cards for you!
