::Not the Average Girl from Your Video::

My momma said a lady ain’t what she wears but what she knows…

But I’ve drawn the conclusion, it’s all an illusion

Confusion’s the name of the game

A misconception, a vast deception,

Something got to change

Now don’t be offended this is all my opinion

Ain’t nothing that I’m saying law

This is a true confession 

Of a life learned lesson 

I was sent here to share with y'all

So get in when you fit in

Go on and shine

Clear your mind 

Now’s the time

Put your salt on the shelf

Go on and love yourself

‘Cause everything’s gonna be alright

::LAZY THOUGHTS OF A LAZY GIRL::

::LAZY THOUGHTS OF A LAZY GIRL::

(clicking link above will take you to the html version of the book, this link will take you to other available formats )

12 humorous essays presented by pseudonymous, Jenny Wren. A response to the famous print of Jerome K Jerome, Idle Thoughts, of an Idle Fellow.

• On Love
• On Bills
• On Politics
• On Afternoon Tea
• On Dress
• On Christmas
• On the Country
• On Town
• On Children and Dogs
• On Concerts
• On Dancing
• On Watering Places

But, though slight, this is a refreshingly cynical and independent-minded account of Victorian society, written with a charm, wit and lightness of touch to rival Jerome himself.

::Global Woman Discussion::

Saw this in a my blog feed, thought I share this opportunity for the readers of CHICAS::IN::POWER;

Call for Bloggers: www.TheConversation.tv is  launching January 15^th 2012

The Conversation  Is a TV series premiering on Lifetime in Jan 2012  , a web site and  online platform that addresses the universal language of women and invites a global discussion about what it means to be a woman in today’s world.

And…here’s where you come in…We’re looking for bloggers — any interested writers — who want to be a part of the project. 

A glimpse of the editorial vision:

If writing about being a girl or being a woman in any form appeals to you, we’d love for you to become a regular blogger. You will get a terrific platform and an opportunity to help shape the site. There really is no limit to what you can blog about, as long as it relates in some way to things that ladies care about .

We are looking for honest, authentic voices to write about sex, wisdom, friendship, parenting , beauty and fashion , body image ( all sides of the story ) health ( mental and physical ) any anything I am missing that you think matters.

 Whatever it is please share from the heart as we are only interested in the real deal!!

If you, or someone you know, is interested in becoming a blogger at The Conversation please contributions@theconversation.tv with a pitch. Please include what your particular slant is, what you want to write about, and how you expect to do it. Some sense of your writing (and life) experience would help too along with your social media platform, if you have one. But there are no particular requirements other than a good idea and brutal honesty and, hopefully, a sense of humor.

Answers to FAQs: a) unpaid b) 1-2x per month minimum commitment c) you can always link back to your own blog d) does not need to be unique content e) we will have final editorial say.

Thanks,

Amanda de Cadenet
