JB's Soapbox
Feb 4, 2010
Today is International Very Good Looking, Damn Smart Woman Day, a terrfic motto to live by: Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, wine in the other, totally worn out and screaming ‘WOOO HOOOOO what a ride!’
Take a minute today and enjoy being you.
