Live Life Out Loud

A wonderful Facebook friend and photographer, Robbie Kaye, who has published a fantastic book ‘Beauty and Wisdom’, made that lovely comment above. This was in respect of the death of the inspiring American comedienne, Joan Rivers.

I’m using it because for me, although it is really sad news that Joan is dead, she was a Role Model. She was talented, funny, honest, courage and didn’t give a damn. She said it how it was in her opinion. And yet, underneath all that, she was a caring woman and supported many charities we didn’t hear about.

Joan did LIVE LIFE OUT LOUD whilst also not allowing her kindness to be exploited – she simply did it.

So, here we are again. What about you? Do you Live Life out Loud? Or do you keep yourself tight and contained – only expressing what you consider is okay for the world to see?

And once again, my challenge to all you women who do this shrinking, now is the time for you to start showing yourself.

How about casting off all those garments you clothe yourself with (perhaps not literally!) and allow yourself to be seen in all your glory – the good, bad and indifferent.

Have some fun, shock some people and yourself by speaking out, dressing outrageously, owning up to your greatness – not your littleness!

Be confident and stop messing about with all your excuses of why you can’t Life Life Out Loud – just get on and do it!!!

The world is waiting and so is the You who is screaming to get out of the tight constraints you have put on her.

Let’s shake out the old mould of how women should be and bring in the new.

Coming with me?

PS. Joan Rivers was an inspiration (whether you liked her or not) as she stepped up and was visible. That is to be applauded in itself. She used her sharp humour to say what most of us would have liked to have said if we had the courage to do so.
