Promote your Top Shelf!

It possibly sounds like I spend ages reflecting and pondering.  A bit of January pondering does take place, partly due to timing, but also because usually October, November and December are ponder free zones!!!  I am generally in Nepal, and there is precious little reflecting and pontificating time and lots of frantic doing.  Any reflecting or planning is very Samunnat related and I usually come back feeling like I need to regroup at a personal level.  Hence the preponderance of pondering.Every year, my friend Cath and the Team at UN Headquarters come up with their version of the Declaration of the Year.  Readers may recall 2012 when we were to start where we were, revel in our imperfections and wear undies that made us feel great. Some made underpants earrings inspired by the more profound aspects of this great declaration.This year it's another cracker and spookily synchronous given my amply proportioned iconic goddesses.  (This one pictured even doubles...sorry...as an earring holder!)  This year we are exorted to Do a hobby (old or new), accept yourself as you are right now, yes, now...right now and promote your "top shelf".  The final part of the Declaration began as Stand up Straight but Promote your Top Shelf does it so much better and ever since receiving the word, so to speak, I have been aware of my posture in a way stand up straight would NOT have inspired!!!Anyway, it all tied in very nicely and in the spirit of the Declaration and all my pondering (see, it does all come together in the end) and I have created a class called THE DOUBLE D GODDESS ICON CLASS where you can do all three aspects at once!  You can do a hobby; not even just accept yourself but walk out loving yourself sick because of your gorgeous creation; and we will be so aware of posture and our top shelves in general the whole time.Each creator will make a unique icon that reminds her/ him(?) to be a double D girl, a Dreamer and Doer.  We will also create our icon to express a quality we want to take into the year. So much! Gosh.  All in fabulous polymer. To the right, I've posted some photos of icons made by students in a similar class I ran in 2006!  Read more details of February's class here but those here in the Outback in Australia's stinking hot Summer would be mad not to do it!
