Enjoy Your Freedom

There are conferences, and then there are conferences that really care about the real you. Femininity and faith is a delicate balance. As I am writing this article, a picture comes to mind of a solar eclipse, where even though the sun is covered the light still finds a way to shine through. It throws off a halo effect. So it is with Christian women. For all of my life I have seen Christian women struggle with the concept of “cover up.” But how do you cover up all of this beauty? No matter what we do it is still not enough. It just keeps popping out. It is also akin to trying to hide a light under a bushel basket. It simply can not be done. The rays just seem to shoot out of every crack.

On a prophetic note; while the vision of this picture is before me and I am asking God for the words to explain what I see, my husband who has no idea what I am writing, starts to casually read me an article from Yahoo news:

the human body literally glows, emitting a visible light in extremely small quantities at levels that rise and fall with the day, scientist now reveal.

The freedom to enjoy your glow as a woman is a powerful gift. You just need encouragement, empowerment and inspiration. These two conferences will free us…See you there!

12 Things that are wrong with “Fashion’s Night Out”

Every now and then I like to pop over to Shine and read up on what’s new. While doing some research on the Anna Wintour spearheaded “Fashion’s Night Out,” I came across this article. I don’t see the point in trying to fix something that’s already perfect so, why not give this article from Staff Writer Joanna Douglas a read. It’s a complete list, 12 things that seem wrong about Fashion’s Night Out.

However, I can’t turn you away without giving you  my thoughts. I would never do anything so cruel. So, what do I think about this Thursday night’s fashion extravaganza? I am all about doing charitable things. Donating money to a good cause like the National September 11 Memorial & Museum…kudos. Other than that one high note, this event seems like a bit of a hot mess. I love shopping and designers, fashion, and a good bargain as much as the next gal, but spending money I don’t have just because Anna Wintour and Sarah Jessica Parker told me I should? Umm…no thank you. Anyway, judge for yourself, if you’re in New York. At the very least, you’ll have some great celeb sightings.

Enjoy!
