Size acceptance (fighting all this anti fat hysteria). Don't believe all the media scare studies. They are sponsored by Pharma to sell more pills! Which do far more harm than good. That is marketing, NOT science. Health and beauty comes in all shapes and sizes!!!
Music
"New Age"and spiritual. Carlos Nakai, Loreena McKennit, Enya, Clanad, Liam Lawton as well as traditional Irish stuff. John Lennon! I love many Broadway tunes, the one thing I miss about being a married suburbanite is season tickets to the theatre! Evita is one of my favorites because she broke all the rules and took life on her own terms. Wicked is awesome, but those who buck the system don't always get a happy ending!
Movies
Robinhood! Chocolate! Lassie! Benji! The Incredible Journey!(The original. Not the Disney remake with the snarky fat joke at the end!) Braveheart! Rob Roy! Baghdad Cafe! Hairspray! Real Women Have Curves (although "real women" don't necessarily HAVE to have pronounced curves either, all women are "real women." Reds! My favorite movie line of all times is from Reds. Jack Reed asks Diane Keaton (his love interest in movie) if she wanted to come with him to Russia. With typical female angst, she said "As what Jack? Your lover, wife, comrade, friend, peer??? What Jack??" He looked at her calmly and said "Thanksgiving is coming up! Why don't you come as a turkey?" If only women would learn, men are what they are!
Television
I like mostly PBS. (Although it is increasingly coming under corporate control!) Ugly Betty! I don't really watch all that much t.v., I find myself feeling so much worse the wear when I do. Really is it about encouraging consumerism at the expense of our mental, physical and spiritual health!
Books
The Thorn Birds Women Who Run With Wolves (Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estes) Big Fat Lies(Glen Gaesser) The Nature of Prejudice(Gordon Allport) A Course in Miracles. The Celestine Prophecies. The Tibetan Book of the Dead. Fat?So!(Marilyn Wann) The Diet Myth!(Paul Campos) Love!(Leo Buscaglia) Hoopa Shoopa Donna (By Suzanne Stempek Shea - The Polish American "Amy Tan.") Circle of Friends.(Maeve Bichey) The Sociological Imagination(C.Wright Mills) You Just Don't Understand (How socialization causes women and men to miscommunicate- Deborah Tannen) Skinny Women Are Evil (Monique - of course "skinny" women are NOT evil, evil is the system that provides people privilege on body type alone) The one I haven't written yet.
Heroes
Anyone who stands up for their beliefs against the odds. Those who don't go along with the crowd. Those who have the courage to heal. Those who have the courage to LOVE!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND ESPECIALLY THOSE WHO TALK TO ANGELS!!!

About me: If I told you, you would NOT believe me! Really! Ya just wouldn't believe it. Too bad I'll be dead before it all comes out!!!(And if they ever do tell my story, I'll probably be played by some emaciated Hollywood actress only too happy to make a Faustian bargain!) Let us just say I am a person who refused to sell my soul. You can take that literally or figuratively depending on how well you know how the world works! But we are all selling our souls aren't we? We are letting a corrupt power-elite ruin everything for the sake of their own greed! Fight back! The time is now!!!

Who I'd like to meet: Are we in danger of slipping in fascism? Naomi Wolf thinks so. Watch the video here:

Interesting that Naomi Wolf, who wrote The Beauty Myth, is one of the first to sound the alarm about what is happening in our country. The average American women feels powerless. She is so distracted by her flaws, feels so much guilt over breaking her diet, is so tunnel visioned over the numbers on her scale, she doesn't have what it takes anymore to stand up and fight. There are those of us who having been saying for years this is exactly how the powers that be want us! Only a woman who has freed herself from appearance obsession and has freed herself of its blinders is free to see what is really going on around her. No longer distracted by her own "inadequacies," she sees clearly the agenda ofd our enemies! It was Wolf herself who said a guilty population is an easily manipulated one!

Hi FatnSassy! :) :) I absolutely love your page and it's calming music. Thanks for the add and all you do to make the world a more harmonious and loving place. Peace, love and happiness. Have a wonderful weekend. Sincerely, Luc
Hello my friend, Hope all is well in your world. The girls have a 4 day weekend so I guess that'll keep me busy :) Relax, have fun and enjoy your weekend. Lots of love
Just wanted to tell YOU that I am so grateful to have you in my life. I pray you have a blessed day. It was difficult for me to decide who I thought would do this because many people claim to pray, but not everyone does. I hope I chose the right twelve. Please send this back to me (You'll see why). May everyone who received this message be blessed. There are 12 months/ 12 disciples/ 12 tribes of Israel / Jesus ' birth celebrated in the 12th month. There is nothing attached. Just send this to twelve others. Prayer is one of the best free gifts we receive. There is no cost, just a lot of reward. Make sure you pray, and pray believing God will answer. May today be all you need it to be. May the peace of God and the freshness of the Holy Spirit rest in your thoughts, rule in your dreams tonight, and conquer all your fears. May God manifest himself today in ways you have never experienced. May your joys be fulfilled, your dreams be closer, and your prayers be answered. I pray that faith enters a new height for you; I pray that your territory is enlarged. I pray for peace, healing, health, happiness, prosperity, joy, true and undying love for God. Now send this to 12 people within 5 minutes and remember to send this back.... I count as 2, you'll see why. Suggestion: copy and paste rather than forward... IT IS I WHO HATE CHAIN LETTERS I TRULY HATE MAIL THAT GIVES ME ORDERS TO IRRITATE OTHER PEOPLE... BUT... THIS LIKE THE 12 NUMBERS ON THE CLOCK AND MY LOVE FOR YOU MAY THE CIRCLE BE UNBROKEN.
