  • Thank you for noticing.

    5 years ago I asked you to notice, and you did. You noticed an artist who possessed a lofty idea of spreading the powerful message of a girls worth. The idea to create 50 murals in 50 states in charcoal that would fade off the wall sending the message, if you left a girl unnoticed…

  • Age is an attitude.

    At 51 I’m climbing ladders and still setting impossible goals. Correction… others say they’re impossible, I say what’s the point in having a goal if it doesn’t have a bit of a dream attached to it? Sure SMART goals are practical, but give me a dumb goal any day. It’s way more fun and sexy!…

  • “I Don’t Bake” and other things I decided about myself when I was 8.

    “I Don’t Bake” and other things I decided about myself when I was 8.

    Eight years old. Easy Bake oven. Those two things went hand in hand when I was a little girl. I like most eight year old girls, was very excited to get mine, and on my very first day of having it was ready to bake. I followed all of the instructions. I had my cake…

  • Stop being so fixated on comfort.

    Let’s face it, nothing about being a woman is comfortable. From puberty to menopause and all the pms in between. Uncomfortable. Bras, heels, stockings… Uncomfortable Honestly for most of us being in our own skin… Uncomfortable. It’s no wonder we seek comfort in our lives and daily routines. But does that daily routine make you…

  • Peace

    How can we have it in the world, when we’re constantly at war with ourselves? By the age of 11 or 12, I had had an ample amount of experiences where I felt judged, embarrassed, shamed or less than to figure out I didn’t need other people or outside forces to make me feel less…

  • Believe it

    Sitting drinking my coffee this morning I found myself reflecting on the success of Girl Noticed’s Kickstarter campaign. Just one month ago I was sitting on the same couch, with the same mug, at the same computer questioning  what was to be my first real venture in fundraising. Good idea or not? Would people donate,…
