I think the design you've got now is lovely. But if your heart prefers the polka dots, then I say polka dot it up! I really love the 3rd banner, for the record. And, to be blunt, I really don't like the first. Happy redesigning!

Re: To Me, From Me (37/40)

I buy magazines and I put my feet up and leaf through them all at once. Fasion magazines, shelter magazines, and Psychology Today. They make me feel luxurious and saturated with beauty. I'm easy!

I'm so happy you're back, and I hope you're feeling great (if not yet, then very very soon)! I think it's a delicate thing to learn how to tell your instinct (busy=best) to shut up so you can hear your intuition (hmmm...something's not quite right). I struggle with it constantly.

Re: 40 Days of My Body: Day 33, Slow Down!

Looks like we've all slowed down a little.
Hope all's well in Dyana Land!

Re: 40 Days of My Body: Day 26, Feeling Blue

Perhaps it is in the air...I was feeling this way too yesterday. I don't know how to fix it, but I can tell you that you ARE seeing results (at least I am...you actually looked different in your HulaHoop video), you are mind-blowingly inspiring, and your readers will be here if you need a little push after your 40 days are up. We lean on you all the time...why not lean back once in a while? You could always do a weekly (heck, monthly even) check-in here if you think you need it. I'll be here. And I'm sure others will, too.

Look at you!!!

Dyana, what's your favorite pre-workout meal? Or are you a get up and go/I'll eat later sort of girl?

P.S. I dig my Champion sports bra, which I got on the cheap at Target. And if I'm doing something REALLY bouncy, I have a very light regular cotton bra that I wear underneath.

Dyana, this is so inspiring. Know that you're totally rocking it, even if it feels like you're not.

When I work out and hate it (and I pretty much always hate it), I have a mantra that helps me keep going. I stole it from somewhere, but maybe it will help you too... Pain is weakness leaving the body. (Maybe you could substitute "nausea" for pain sometimes...)

For me today: Swimming in the waters of Ivy & Ash in prep for our phone call.

Re: Taking Risks When It Comes To Love; Is It Always Worth It?

Traci — Tue, 27 Jan 2009 10:03:47 -0000

First of all, YES! Always, yes! Secondly, I don't think we have a choice. Love is inherently a risk. It is impossible to love without becoming vulnerable.

Re: The Single Girl’s 4 Universal Truths of Online Dating

Traci — Tue, 20 Jan 2009 11:40:43 -0000

One more truth: there is hope. My husband and I met online. I was crazy about him before I met him and when I saw him in person, I knew there was no turning back.

This is great stuff, Lauren. Thanks!

Re: What Activity Sets You Free?

Traci — Mon, 19 Jan 2009 17:20:06 -0000

Swinging on a playground swingset. The kind that's constructed of huge, thick pipe shoved deep in the earth so I can go as high as possible and still feel grounded. I feel here and out there and grounded and free and perfect.

I Wanna Be Sedated - The Ramones.

Re: Waiting for the Ring: Romantic or Anti-Feminist?

Traci — Fri, 09 Jan 2009 18:11:00 -0000

My husband proposed to me without a ring, and I wouldn't have had it any other way. Even if he were loaded and could afford 10 carats for each finger, I'd have still preferred a ringless proposal. I don't know...something about sticking a shiny expensive thing under someone's nose when asking him/her to marry you stinks a bit of bartering.

That said, we did choose a ring together later. And oh, how I love the ring. I have no idea what that says about me.

Re: How Will You Stretch Your Mind This Year?

Traci — Fri, 09 Jan 2009 11:29:15 -0000

Write, write, write, and write. And when I think I'm ridiculous, keep writing. And when I have nothing to write, write some more.

Re: What Does Your Little Voice Say?

Traci — Thu, 08 Jan 2009 09:46:21 -0000

I'd like to kill my little voice. Invariably, she says, "You're ridiculous."

Re: How Would You Like to be Cared For?

Traci — Wed, 07 Jan 2009 10:14:23 -0000

If I'm being truly honest, I just want to be cared for intuitively. I want my husband to know what I want and need before I do and to just do it. I also know this is not something I can expect. But, oh, wouldn't it be nice?

Sister, you speak the truth! :o)

Thanks, everyone! Glad you enjoyed it!

Re: What is a Completely Outrageous Thing You Want to do This Year?

Traci — Tue, 06 Jan 2009 10:40:41 -0000

Embrace the crazy, the desire. I've quit my stable job--smack dab in the middle of a recession--to strike out on my own and take control of my time. I'm also planning to write a book...never mind the dismal publishing climate. I don't care what convention says, and I couldn't be happier.

Re: If you could write one book, what would it be about?

Traci — Mon, 05 Jan 2009 09:50:40 -0000

A teenage love story about girls who love themselves first.

Beautiful. Thank you, Carolyn!

MoJo, you're in my head again. I second both your sentiments. (And my added apologies to you, Jessica!)
