You know what I hate about apple pie? The first piece that is dished out is always, ALWAYS, just a messy glob of apple pie filling (as opposed to a respectable piece of pie). It’s the piece that no body really cares if they get or not, but they’d rather not. So I always volunteer to take it. I mean, it all comes out the same, right?
But, quite frankly?
I AM SICK AND TIRED OF RELEGATING MYSELF TO THAT FIRST PIECE OF PIE!
Because that glob of apple pie that I accept for myself? but would dare not dish out to someone else? is a metaphor (however poor it may be) for every thing that I do in my life. Playing the good hostess, I always dish myself the messy glob, saving the perfectly slivered triangles for others.
But the time has come for me to get a perfectly slivered triangle of apple pie. Because I am worth it.
I realize that it’s a little early to start talking new year’s resolutions, but hey. I’m a pioneer in that way. [insert cheesy grin here]
. . . which brings me to the Nike Women Make Yourself Movement. I’ve always loved the Nike ad campaigns. They’re always so clever, inspirational – even tear jerky. But this new campaign really resonates with me. It really just knocked me upside the head. And everything just sort of clicked.
2011 is going to be my year. The year that I make myself into the woman I want to be. that I am.
. . . the year that I evolve into something fierce.
And I’m inviting you to join me. That’s right.
There are a lot of changes in the works for flutie * mcd. I’m hoping to be able to share them with you real soon. In fact I’ll continue to write posts about how I’m making myself all kinds of fierce throughout the year.
My next “make yourself” post will be in a week and will highlight my plans for this so-called evolution. Unless I decide otherwise, at the last minute as I am oft wont to do.
In the meantime, have you started to think about what you’d like to do for yourself in the coming new year? I’d love to hear about them!
Disclosure: No. Nike did not ask me to do this. But next year they will. [wink]
