The Big and Bold decision

Adele won six Grammys at the just concluded event.

The beauty of that win is for everyone, especially plus-sized women.

There’s a reason why I started this blog. If you look at my pay-off it says: “the life and ambition of a plus-sized sweetheart.”

I am here to celebrate the plus-sized woman because I am one. So when I see a plus-sized sister succeed in a tough environment - an environment that clearly makes her feel uncomfortable because of its frequent request for her to lose weight, to stay a certain size, to find ‘beauty’ - it makes me glad.

Adele has suffered bad relationships, and only God knows what else especially in the skinny-obsessed America. But she triumphs eventually. And not just a drop of success but a sweeping achievement that would be hard to beat!

It brought tears to her eyes. My heart leapt for her!

What that tells you, my dear fellow plus-sized sweethearts is: nothing, and I repeat, nothing is beyond your reach. People may try to define what they think is good for you, but it is only you (and the God that you worship) that can truly position and make you shine beyond anyone’s imagination.

The world is a tough place to be; but we are all in it, and we must trudge on to find definition for ourselves.

That is the challenge.

And not matter what others are going through. It seems the plus-sized people have a harder chance at making it work.

Sigh!

But Adele success is a good booster for our ego.

No matter your sex – man or woman. Create the world you want for yourselves, because at the end of it, the laws of nature does not care what size you are.

And who says you are not beautiful? Stand in front of your mirror in all your glory and declare the beauty that you are. God does not create ugly. Appreciate who you are!

The weekend is here already. Celebrate your life.

Yay!
