Day 367

My year of buying-no-clothes is over. And it really wasn't that bad.

I do need shoes & have already brought home 3 pairs, for testing. (bad feet) 2 really cute pairs--that were actually made for women--have failed & my feet are killing me as I'm walking around the house in man-boot pair 3. I really may live the rest of my life in New Balance sneakers.

I have a plan to try these with Dr. Scholl's orthotics. Stay posted.

Oh--that was all about me. Now, about you: I HIGHLY recommend the shop-free year. The most important thing it did for me was to break the addiction of looking for the next great thing.

If you try it, email & let me know so I can cheer you on. : )

Christmas in September!

Don't get your hopes up, readers. It's not the kind of Christmas where God takes on human flesh to demonstrate his love for the world. Although that's nice, too.

This is the kind of Christmas where greedy people GET STUFF!

Yesterday my editor at IVP confirmed that the title for my new book on body image is.....

UNSQUEEZED: Springing Free From Skinny Jeans, Nose Jobs, Highlights, and Stilettos

So how fun is that?!?

Show Off

I'm showing off the beautiful skirt my daughter Zoe made. Isn't she lovely?
