the eugene bean

I need to get better at the blogging thing.

I think I can, I think I can, I think I can...

One of my students at work wears a boa. All the time. It's bright purple and just fabulous. I used to think she was crazy or attention seeking. I now know otherwise.

That boa makes Celia feel confident. It gives her strength, makes her feel pretty. Celia has found a way to boost her self esteem, a way to rise above her problems. When people ask Celia why she wears a boa she replies with her head held high, "Because I like it."

You go girl.

Last weekend I wore a tiara for 2 straight days. Wen and I each wore one to celebrate our friendship, our feminity, and our birthdays. When people looked at us funny and asked us why we were wearing crowns, we just smiled and said, "Because we like it."

So next time you feel down, pick up your boa and throw it on. You'll feel better, really.
