life-is bases knows
Life is full of change and uncertainty. We know this. We experience it on a daily basis.
mean long different
Just because you're a different size doesn't mean you're sitting on the couch eating bonbons all day long watching TV.
healing long path
My own path towards wellness has been a long and dynamic one. It's taught me that healing from the inside out takes time and there can be great value in various sources of guidance.
yoga realizing posture
When I consider the deeper meaning of yoga, I realize it's about a lot more than simply performing a variety of postures on a mat.
beautiful karma curves
But life inevitably throws us curve balls, unexpected circumstances that remind us to expect the unexpected. I've come to understand these curve balls are the beautiful unfolding of both karma and current.
thinking two size
I think that we can't deny the public's want for balancing out the images that are out there depicting women. Not all of us are 17 and a size two.
fall school making-money
I had dropped out of school and was a runaway, so I didn't have family to fall back on if I didn't work. I didn't have a lot of other options of making money other than modeling.
alcohol drug eating-disorder
Part of treatment for drugs and alcohol is you abstain from these, but with eating disorders you can't abstain from food so the treatment is longer than drugs and alcohol.
doctors years modeling
My doctor felt that the main contributing factor was so many years of malnutrition, especially during my formative years, even before I got into modeling.
taken diversity childhood
Being born and raised as a Californian, I somewhat ignorantly had taken for granted the diversity and liberal mindset that shaped my childhood and adult life.
stupid parent dyslexia
Though my parents assured me over and over again that I wasn't stupid or slow, I sensed that my dyslexia was now a stigma on all of us.
father school law
My parents were both from the East and had moved to San Francisco only so my father could go to law school there.
people eating-disorder body
Eating disorders, body dysmorphia and a general dissatisfaction with one's life and body seems to ail too many young people.
years focus proud
I'm proud that today, at 43 years old, I've come to value the aging process and focus on inner rather than outer beauty.
