I'm in the midst of some family health issues right now and dealing with some stress and sleeplessness. Everything seems to be well so far, but when is surgery fun, right? I'm also deep in some artistic deadlines right now--did I mention I quit my job to focus completely on my creativity?
So this week, there's an article from 2007 that I reblogged today on tumblr and it's worth a read. It's by singer-songwriter and female force-to-be-reckoned with Beth Ditto, dealing with how to stop worrying about weight, but the principles about loving yourself and feeling confident are universal.
Here's the link, nothing not safe for work here, but if you go to my main tumblr page, as always there may be some nudity.
And the source, fyeahbodypositive, (also NSFW), is a great tumblr to follow if you want to see pictures of real people sharing their bodies and posting messages to boost self esteem.

All Kinds of Fur - The Tumblr!
I'm excited to announce a new feature to my online presence as "Allerleirah," a companion Tumblr to collect images of bearded ladies, female beauty, quotes about self esteem, and the odd post by others who complain of their hirsutism on their own Tumblr's.
You may well ask, "Al, why not just post what you find here on your blog?" It's a fair question, and an idea I've turned around and around in my mind. My answer is twofold: firstly, it's easier. Tumblr is such an effortless way to collect this kind of thing into one place.
The second reason is the more important concern I had about keeping this blog around PG-13ish. Sure, I discuss ladies' problems, talk about various parts of the body, and post the odd video that deals with such. But there are inspiring things out there that are a little more... Not Safe For Work, that I still feel are worth sharing. Now, I know the reality is that even those of you who are underage have probably seen stuff even more explicit, but I prefer to give the choice. I will leave it to each girl's sensibilities as to what they'd like to see, regardless of age.
So my Tumblr is going to be a place for more mature content, which you can consume or ignore as you will. And keeping in mind those of you who voted for more posts, hopefully this will appease you somewhat. As it's easy to find content, as it's mostly created by others and waiting for me to find, it will likely be updated often, and I may schedule posts so that there's something new as frequently as every day. I hope you enjoy it!
Now, I'm off on a couple of trips so I especially won't be around to approve comments or apply to emails in the next couple of weeks. However, also keeping in mind those votes for more posts, I've got a couple of things lined up to be posted automatically in my absence. I'll see you all soon!
Stay positive!
