Burn those jeans

July 1, 2007 in Uncategorized

In the July issue of the fantastic Skirt! magazine, you’ll find a 37days essay, urging us all to renounce unreasonable goals by burning those jeans.

It was originally posted here. I hope you’ll enjoy it (again?).

Ah, to burn those “jeans” and allow for reincarnation into something that not only fits but is also comfortable. No wasted life when we accomodate to our actual waist! Thanks Patti.

Great article in Skirt – I love Skirt & had to share the article w/fellow coaches b/c of the fact that many of our clients come to us feeling that they have to obtain a specific goal that is virtually impossible, in order to be happy. When in actuality it is what the goal represents that we often yearn for – and those things we can consciously learn to incorporate more of into our lives – example…more freedom, joy, strength etc.

Keep up the great work & I look forward to reading more here on your blog :)
