There was a time when you were five years old,
and you woke up full of awesome.
You knew you were awesome.
You loved yourself.

What is going on? Yesterday, I wrote about the mother who gave her 8-year-old daughter Botox. And now, I just read an article about how Skechers is marketing their supposedly butt-toning and leg-beautifying Shape-ups shoes to 7-year-old girls, and I burst into tears.
What is happening to our society that makes us put so much pressure on women -- even young girls -- to be beautiful? No wonder we wind up so f-cked up with regard to our bodies!

The Owning Pink Community seems to be showered with new and lovely Pinkies on a daily basis. One of our newest members is Goddess Oceana. If you are looking for a fresh, revitilizing spirit, she is it. (Plus, I can't help but be in love with her pink, glowing feathers.) Enjoy this magnificent thought from our lovely new community member. -- Megan Monique
Magazine covers would have us believe that beauty is an outside job, and yet our spiritual leaders tell us it all comes from within. I don’t know about you, but it
leaves my head in a tizzy! I’ve tried every hair color, every type of makeup, dressed myself in every fashion to hit the runways…and unlike the majority, I’ve also studied spirituality from Christianity to paganism and everything in between.

Pinkies, pleases welcome to the Posse Heather Sobieralski, a life coach for moms and founder of the site mymamamojo.com. Sister is positively exploding with mojo, insight, and wisdom, and we're so thrilled to introduce her to you. Here she is with some thoughts on owning our bodies and looking at our "flaws" in a different light. Take it away, Heather!
Happy New Year! hope the first day of the new decade finds you energized, inspired, and more in love with yourself and the world than ever.
