This is so wonderful, dear Heidi, so so wonderful.... I printed a copy and will carry with me everywhere, for inspiration, as a reminder that I can always up the badassness :)

I love that it moved you, Tatty! And that it's inspiring you to badassery. By the way, I'm doing a Tribal belly dance class taught by my friend Cecile Carr (http://ombellyco.com). She's one of my FB friends, by the way. I wish the two of you to meet! Belly dancing is one of my little badasseries. It might not be to everyone, but it is from whence I come ;)
