Red Lipstick and a Rockin' Dress

I have always been larger than everyone else, taller and wider! As a child I would hide in the background as best I could. I never felt pretty or feminine in my youth. I took on the tom boy role, as that is where I thought I belonged. I never felt attractive to the opposite sex and had boys as friends not as suitors. 

Once I met my husband my role started to change. I slowly started to discover my feminine side. My husband made me feel like a light weight, petite princess, something I had never experienced. I shed my awkward, clumsy wallflower casing and emerged a strong, confident lady.

This has been a slow process filled with unwavering encouragement from my husband and a dear friend. Now, I love nothing more than dressing up in a pretty frock, applying red lippy and strutting my stuff. 

I still have a way to go, but I am stepping in the right direction and my path is filled with sunshine!
