I've Always Been Attracted To Guys With Big Brains.

I'm Not Incredibly Self-conscious. I Don't Really Feel Like I Walk Around Making Fashion Or My Appearance The Most Important Thing In The World. It's Certainly Not The Way That I Live My Life. I'm Not Really Sure How The Magazines Perceive Me Because I Don't Read Them.

In Eastern Culture, People See Ghosts, People Talk About Ghosts... It's Just Accepted. And In Western Culture It's Just Not.

Western Culture

I Was A Lot More Critical Of My Body When It Was Probably Pretty Awesome. Why Did I Not Ever Wear Jean Shorts? That's So Crazy. I Was So Skinny. I Didn't Have Any Cellulite What Was I Thinking? I Was More Willing To Wear Short Skirts After I Had My Kids. I Never Wore Them Before. Ever. I Was So Self-conscious. Now I'm A Lot More Confident In My Skin - Because Who Cares? At The End Of The Day, It's So Much Time Spent On Something That Really Doesn't Matter That Much.

I Guess For Me, Balance Isn't About Treating Your Time Like A Pie Chart And Dividing It Into Equally Sized Slices For You, The Kids, Work, And So On. It's About The Quality Of How You Spend Your Time, Not The Quantity--are You Being Present And Focused On Whatever You're Doing While You're Doing It? I Truly Believe That's How You Can Be The Best Version Of Yourself, Whether You're In Work Mode, Mom Mode, Or Wife Mode. When I Know I'm Giving My Undivided Attention In Each Of These Areas, I Don't Feel So Guilty About The Time Spent Away From Them.
