Rainy Wednesday at Bodacious

[bodalorna]

Barb's taking this week off so I'm minding the store on my own. It's a great opportunity to clear up some clutter (Barb started it before she left with a good overhaul of the back room) but it's hard to be inspired sometimes when what you really want to be doing is chatting with customers (which of course is a priority!). We've had so many great and inspiring women come through those doors and have been lucky enough to get to know so many of them over the five years that we've been in business. We've seen women grow their self-confidence through trying on clothing that maybe they were too afraid to try before - be that going sleeveless or showing a bit of leg. We've seen others quit their jobs and start their own businesses or go back to school. Yay!!! We've seen lots of women packing their bags and checking out foreign destinations. We've also seen a phenomenal amount of women bringing new babies into this world - especially this year (now THAT's an important job!) Some of the most inspirational women that we get to meet are the younger girls that are growing up with a confidence that I'd never even dreamed of at that age. These girls haven't bought into that acceptable pattern of hating their hips or thighs or breasts. They're loving what they got and knowing how to work it. How exciting is that???
We're so lucky to have a place to meet all of you! I just re-discovered hot chocolate this past weekend. Hope you're having a warm and chocolate-y day!
bodaciously yours,
Lorna
