Excitment and curves..

I have drooled over blogs on several occasions..wishing I could have a place to save my thoughts, theories and life experiences. Now look who's blogging for the first time. So here's my thought for my first post:

When I woke up this morning I walked by our bar in the kitchen and on the bar lay a Cosmopolitan magazine. I must confess before going further that I don't actually read this magazine. Somehow I was trying to win a million dollars at one point in my life and ended up accidentally ordering a years subscription of Cosmo (I might add that I didn't realize this until I didn't win a million dollars but started receiving this magazine in the mail along with a bill.) Now they won't stop coming..I no longer pay but continue to get them. Usually I just toss the magazine underneath the decent ones in my magazine rack; but today I stopped as I realized Adele was on the front cover. Who doesn't love Adele?!

As I looked at the cover of the magazine a thought crossed my mind. Thank you Cosmo for finally putting someone like her on the front of your magazine. In a world where skinny is vital to good looks we have a curvy woman on the front of a sexy magazine. And let me add..she looked stunning. As I drove to work I began to think about the years in which I have struggled to accept my not so perfectly skinny frame and felt relieved at the beauty of a curvy woman on the front of a magazine who is talented and respectable.

So here's my thought for the day: God loves me (and everyone else) just the way I am. He created me to have hips... and today I feel beyond blessed for them. My prayer is that Adele's cover shoot will inspire girls all over the world as well.

I think I'll open my Cosmo to read Adele's article this evening because she has inspired me to love my curves. :)   Adele's Cover December Issue
