Once upon a time, there was a girl who loved to write. She started a blog, and much to her surprise and gratitude, people started reading it.
Then one day she realized what she wanted to be when she grew up, helping women love themselves, but needed the people's help to get it right.
Obviously, that girl is yours truly. Very soon I will be moving this little blog over to a website and starting my coaching business. But, before I do that, I need to hear from YOU, my readers, or anyone you might know that can help me.
I'm looking for women 30-50 years old who might have issues with their self esteem and/or body image. Perfectionism is a biggie too. I'm doing some market research and that's it. Just a short little survey. I'm not trying to sell you anything, I promise! Except my husband's mountain bike, but that's another story for another time. So, if you think you can help, please either leave a comment here with your contact info, or email me at andreafry75 [at] hotmail [dot] com. I'd be eternally grateful.
ALSO!!
I'd like to know what you want me to write about. What do you like, what makes you read a particular post? I love writing and love feedback as well. So, let me hear your beautiful voices!
Oh, and thanks.

My sincerest of thank yous...
It's been a little over a year and a half since I started this blog. When I sat down to write my first post I had no idea where it would take me. I knew it would involve my coaching career, and I knew I had something to say about things I felt strongly about, but I never envisioned it to become what it's become. I know I don't have a ton of readers like other bloggers out there, and I'm okay with that. In fact, it still humbles me when I get an email from someone in another country or even where I live, saying they found my blog and something I wrote touched them in some way. It makes me still want to call my mom and tell her. And sometimes I do.
So, I'd like to say thank you. Thank you to all who read, even if you've just read one post. The fact that you took time to read my words, thoughts, ideas and sometimes rants means everything to me. When I was a little girl, scribbling poetry or short stories I would dream of this day; when what I wrote was important to someone, anyone. It's such an amazing gift to me. I've kept writing because of the emails, the comments, the love. My goal is to help others and as a side effect I've grown tremendously writing about my struggles and sharing with you my life lessons. I hope I've inspired you, my readers, to embrace life with all your might. So, thank you, thank you, thank you.

I am so honored to have been giving the "Beautiful Blogger Award" by none other than Julie Parker, author of one of my favorite blogs: Beautiful You by Julie. Thanks, Julie!! To claim this award I have to regift it to 15 blogs I love and read and so the awards go to: To claim my prestigious award I also have to tell you seven things about me, so I'll try to tell you seven things that may surprise you. Or maybe not? Drumroll please.....
- I was a painfully shy child. The kind that hid behind my mothers leg if someone said hello to me. Quite the opposite now.
- Having children deeply changed who I am. I was a conservative republican (okay, I just heard some jaws hit the table) and some of my views still stay there. But, as a feminist, well, you can figure out the rest.
- I hate 2 things that are very "American". Snickers bars and Barbeque sauce. Both disgust me.
- I have a phobia of drains. A serious one. Sink drains, shower drains and especially pool drains. I have near panic attacks when swimming near the huge deep-end pool drains. Even just typing this makes me uneasy.
- I can do a beer bong. I haven't done it in a few years, but I've won a few contests. I'll sign autographs later.
- I am a whiz at remembering people's names, but not at remembering faces. So, it rarely comes in handy. But, I am notorious for thinking I know someone and I'm wrong.
- The worst physical injury I've ever had was knocking out 3 teeth when I was 7 years old. No broken bones ever!
I hope all the blogs I have given this award to enjoy it. To claim your award you need to:
1. Thank the person that nominated you and link to them.
2. Pass the award on to 15 bloggers you’ve discovered and think are fantastic.
3. Contact said Blogs and let them know they've won!
4. State 7 things about yourself.
Happy blogging all!
I don't have any money either, so let's donate our shoes to Haiti
While on Twitter the other day something caught my eye. It was "Soles4Souls" and organization that is gathering shoes to send to the needy people of Haiti who have been victimized by such a catastrophic earthquake. Watch the short video on the home page and your heart will tell you it's time to help.
I don't have a lot of money, so I donate my time to things I am passionate about. This organization is collecting shoes, used or new, to send to the people of Haiti that don't have the luxury of owning shoes. These people are walking through all the rubble and debris barefoot. I'll provide the link again,to find a drop off location click here.
Many of you are in the San Diego area and a central location is Shoe Metro, located at 8960 Carroll Way, 92121. There are also 2 locations in Pacific Beach and one downtown. I spoke with a customer service representative and she told me there is a bin for drop offs. It's that easy. Really, I know you have decent shoes laying around that you don't wear. Get them out, clean them off and drop them off. And then tell someone about this or other charities.
Don't forget kids shoes. Our kids grow out of their shoes so fast and the children of Haiti are in need too!
