I guess we're always our own worst critics. <BR/><BR/>Maria - appreciate you sharing your post! thx for the chin up!<BR/><BR/>mrs. g. - you know I'm off to google this Ryan grrrl now. <BR/><BR/>beverly - thx!

I happen to think you're intelligent and right purty too! <BR/><BR/>debra - I do forget to breathe. I needed that reminder today!<BR/><BR/>whimsigal - thx grrrl. <BR/><BR/>linda - where are you speaking? Do tell! and thx for the compliments, but you haven't seen me with bedhead.

Yeah, I am speaking at a conference coming up too, and although I am not panicked yet I am pretty sure it will set in about an hour before I'm supposed to speak. It'll go something like this: "Who am I to think that anybody should be interested in what I have to say? Who am I to think that what I have to say is interesting? Who am I to think anyone will care about my stories? I should have done more research. What if I forget to say all the important things I want to say? What if I start babbling? What if my voice starts shaking?" Etc. <BR/><BR/>Anyway, I know we all have our hangups about our physical selves and I don't want to be dismissive of your feelings and I really don't like to make comparisons (which complimenting someone always implies) BUT I am going to anyway because really you just have to stop this nonsense about your looks. Even with the quadruple chin and wrinkles you are uncommonly beautiful, and you rock the grey hair. You are the type who other people are jealous of even when you have bedhead. So really, there are probably things much more deserving of your being stressed out about them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27398888.post-37139253253011236502008-05-18T09:00:00.000-06:002008-05-18T09:00:00.000-06:00First of all, you do NOT have extra chins, for goo...First of all, you do NOT have extra chins, for goodness sake. Sheesh. You're gorgeous.<BR/><BR/>Second, you'll be fabulous both at the speaking event and doing your organic food video. We are all our own worst critics!

But I am getting ahead of myself. I think you look GREAT altho, personally, I think I'd not go the "beer" route if you're talking about organics. I, for one, and incredibly jealous you have what it takes (chutzpah) to speak about unschooling at a conference, write and article, be photographed and interviewed (even if you are hyperventilating) and speak about ORGANIC FOOD. INCREDIBLE. oh, and the writing of a book, even if you haven't touched it in awhile. Do you think authors just sit down and write a book in a year??!! Oh.Wait. Don't answer that. Not authors who are as busy and multi talented as you anyway...so there is my "Laura you can SO do this..." Organic, crunchy, whole foodie, granola types are supposed to eschew corporeal things like how they look anyway...and I am in collusion with the whole idea of playing it BIG. <BR/><BR/>You know, not to hi jack but your post reminded me of one of my own...pardon the HUGE link...<BR/><BR/>http://eclecticallyyours.typepad.com/eclectically_yours/2008/05/would-the-real.htmlMariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06803076690568937515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27398888.post-16589975714244463512008-05-16T08:42:00.000-06:002008-05-16T08:42:00.000-06:00What a great topic.

That is great you get to chat about that. <BR/><BR/>We have been in the paper here a few times over the past year (for a local mom website I run, and then for my blog) and each time they send out a staff photographer I about pass out. With my own photos I can photoshop them to feel 'ok' with them, but the staff photo people just take the picture and that is that! I always think, ok, if I hide behind the kid here, not be the focus, remember it will be small, no biggie. The second time, I opened the paper and the photo of us was literally almost 1/2 the page - HUGE! squeak. The good thing about newspaper, is that it is low resolution, it is on newsprint, and it is not the best quality overall, so it doesn't look so bad. <BR/><BR/>Now, the video interview????...Here is a paper bag...<BR/><BR/>And I'm sure you will be awesome for the conference AND the interview.denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07063730445661683331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27398888.post-53046675168943233012008-05-16T02:43:00.000-06:002008-05-16T02:43:00.000-06:00Oh stop it, you gorgeous and clever thing, you.
