Please mark your calendars for the November workshop if you live in the Bay Area and cannot make the one tomorrow.

That date is Saturday November 14th from 1-3pm. Please mark your calendars and come play Pinky with us please.

Another letter to share from Glamour. Someone asked me if they can still send them and the answer is yes, yes please! (you can even mail two! or more)

This issue is not going away unless we voice our opinions about it.

Women of the world need to hear about the work of Body Image Mastery and Glamour would be a great venue to learn about this work…So hopefully they will show up at OnePinky’s door soon and want to learn more about the issues that must be cleared from our tissues so that we can live whole, healthy lives without the burden of our pain bodies leading the way.

OnePinky Julie wrote this gorgeous letter and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for it.

Those of you still willing, please mail letters to: Glamour_Letters@condenast.com

Hooray to Glamour for taking a leadership role in addressing the issue of body esteem head on! I for one (as a size 12 woman) appreciate that a publication with your following and influence among young girls and women (I started reading when I was a young teenager) understand the critical importance of a healthy body image which is determine from the inside out!!  Our society talks about “self-esteem” all the time but we cover up (no pun intended) and avoid the subject when it comes to our bodies.  I must then, tell you about Laura Fenamore an extraordinary woman and true pioneer in the field of body esteem and she has been leading a charge for a “Body Image Revolution” at www.onepinky.com and is creating change for myself and many other women every day.  As you continue your focus and commitment to this topic I encourage you to reach out to her to support your efforts.  You will find her to be incredibly smart but more importantly amazingly generous — she is here to help us all become the women we can be and not be bogged down by WHAT we see in the mirror but instead by focusing on WHO we see in the mirror.  The power that comes from learning that the weight will come off when you change your heart and mind about how you feel about yourself is so true.  I was sure it was true for everyone else but me and now I am on my way!  I am making healthy positive choices for my mind, my spirit and my body and a better me is “showing up” every day!  I love where I am headed and am honored and thrilled to be a part of the One Pinky Body Image Revolution.  Congratulations again for doing what others haven’t dared to do in such a bold way.

P.S. Those photos of those amazing women are incredible.

Leah, I hope your weekend is going really well and I am sooo happy for you both that Leigh has it off.

I am so proud of you Leah for your willingness to cry and try things you were unable and unwilling to do before. You are amazing…

And how wonderful is it that you and I both share our periods at the same time of the month?…We really are bonded despite distance. Well, we knew that!!!!

You go and enjoy your weekend with your darling husband and I will be playing with some Pinky’s tomorrow and we will be including you in our circle and we will be thinking of you…

Continue to Love, Learn and Let Go!

I love you, XO

Laura
