This was a pet peeve of both of my mothers'. When I was at the awkward teenage years,when the 'rosebuds' where starting to bud I would curl my shoulders forward to hide the upcoming flowering.
My mom- whichever one was handy- would push me against the wall, push my shoulders back and press in on my stomach-" stand tall- shoulders back- tummy in!"
It certainly annoyed me at the time, but I see so many folks young and old who do not walk with a presence, confidence. Often I see well dressed, groomed people who schuffle, slouch and generally do not give off the impression they are happy, confident and enjoying life.
It is easy to every day stand tall, walk with presence and pride. As one of my grandmothers' used to say- "You are not dressed if you have not put on your smile" the same goes for good posture, a smile and standing tall are the two least expensive- actually free- items that you can put on everyday!

About Me
- Chanel
- Mid 40's energetic fun loving woman wishing to encourage other women (and men depending on the site your are on)over 40 to enjoy and enrich their lives! Why I want to do these blogs? Gosh darn, I have had both stilleto clad feet firmly in my mouth at the same time landing on my rear in piles of horse manure enough times. Faux pax? Yes, done those too--- Crow Pie- I have made it fresh and eaten it too many times as well. Figured with all this experience I maybe- could help a few other souls avoid some of the mud puddles that I have found myself drowning in.... and have some fun at the same time. Life is so short, and we all have enough tough rows to hoe- sometimes laughing at ourselves and trying to figure outo this crazy life is all that we need. Feel free to share- even vent, rant and rave-- that is what this is for! Have a happy day- and try to eat only the best chocolate you can find!
