Good Afternoon, As I mentioned on earlier posts, I am kind of random. I may sometimes write about anything that first comes to my mind. Sometimes, it may take me days to ponder on some of things I want to get out of my system.  Well, today I am just random... meaning I am going to let the Spirit lead me. Today was a rather nice day. I went to church and received a good message that I want to parlay on to my followers out there. However, I want to share with you an experience I had at lunch today. After church, the family and I went to a restaurant called Coopers Hawk. They are known in the Chicagoland area for their great wine. I love their wine so much that I joined their wine club. Being a part of the wine club entitles you to a free entree for your birthday. My husband and I each received a mailer for an entree.

One thing that I do enjoy is helping others be the best possible self they possibly can be. I have been pondering why women buy clothes too big here in America?   Working in the industry and helping women find clothing for their lives; they often buy clothes two sizes too big.   Some are afraid to show off or accentuate the body that they have and others are trying to hide the lumps (so humorously called by one of my clients). I was reading an article about how Europeans like closer fitting or tailored clothes.   Europeans don’t anticipate on gaining any weight.   Gaining weigh...
