"I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best." - Marilyn Monroe
I want to send a Happy 4th of July to all of my Fab Gals in the US (and everyone else, too!). What a great day! In honor of this totally Fab country, I want to talk to you about what you do that makes you independent.
No matter where you live, you should value the opportunities that women have been gaining over the past years. There are women breaking ground in every field - politics, science, fashion, entertainment, you name it. I hate to sound like a mom, but seriously! You have no idea what amazing things you can do now. For the first time ever, a woman was able to be a real contender in the race for president. No matter what party your from, that is an astounding accomplishment.
It's also important to remember, as an independant woman, that it's okay to do what you want to do. Sometimes even the people that want the best for you don't know what's best for you. Value your own independence, and follow your pursuit of happiness. I mean, the Declaration said so, right?
Anyways, where I was going is this - it's a marvelous time to be a Fab Gal, no matter where you live. So celebrate that today. I hope you have a totally Fab holiday, my little firecrackers!
