Fabulous@50 Blog

By Dianna Bowes on 2/17/2011 12:00 AM
When was the last time you did something for someone else totally unexpected,with absolutely no expectations in return? It is so wonderful to have it done for you, but doing something for others is so much better. I tend to be one that sees what can be done and in the past have done it, to the point that is started to be expected of me. What I was missing was boundaries and the realization of why I was doing so much. Here it is, I am a recovering people pleaser, I still love to help others, but I have to resist doing too much.

Re: Are you an original? Break Free From the Mold.
Thank you for speaking into my heart this morning. I have always been "the original" one - the one that never stayed with the status quo. Visionaries are like that. It is only recently that I can truly say that I am gifted and talented and YES Different than the woman who must please each person and put herself last. I still do please people and still do put myself last, but I do it because I want to- not because it is expected of me.
How do I become a part of the tribe you are running with?
Re: Are you an original? Break Free From the Mold.
Hi Diana. Belated congratulations on being awarded the WMCA Women of Distinction award! I just want to say hello and let you know I am thinking happy thoughts for you. I traveled in from Cold Lake for your first Fabulous @ 50 at the Lions Centre with my hand painted silk scarves. All the best!
Re: Are you an original? Break Free From the Mold.
My grandmother used to say "If you never looked in a mirror you would never know you were getting older". I have now lived long enough to know she was right. In her honor I am going out today to buy a perfectly fitted red bra, and I'm going to live, every day, at the age I feel when I don't look in the mirror.
Love your blog, thought provoking as always.
Cheers,
Lorraine
