At the time I obsessed about heir size (even though they were rather small but had a natural curve). My nickname for him was birdface because he had a rather prominent nose. I am finding after years of being somewhat comfortable in my thunder thighs, they are shrinking due to my foray into running. Now I notice the wrinkles and loose skin---so as you so wisely said, there are always image "police" out there (and often in here) distracting us from the truth about our value and worth. And as you said it's not just body image---maybe we laugh too loud or talk too much (yes, I hail from a long line of both of these!) or maybe we are quick to anger but quick to forgive, impatient, stubborn, competitive, as well as friendly, open to change, accepting. Weird, straightforward, blunt, honest, changeable.... You get the idea. Human perfection lives in a very small world of experience, because it isnt real. We are all imperfectly practicing life, and learning to accept that and love it too is a worthy use of our time. Love you Heather!Debra Woodwardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02077444565166369804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8743103832186134524.post-4197880290802360612010-11-13T10:16:05.089-08:002010-11-13T10:16:05.089-08:00Thank you Pulling Weeds!

But Thunder Thighs to me is the willingness to stand with power and grace in the body in which one is living, regardless of its mass, density, volume, dress size, height, skin type, hair color, etc. Thank you for your wise advice to our young women especially to not "be duped." The Clan's state of mind is all about thinking for oneself and knowing one's own heart - and having THESE be what informs us in how we carry ourselves in this world.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649906975241015239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8743103832186134524.post-73452353911326112862010-11-13T08:07:56.771-08:002010-11-13T08:07:56.771-08:00As a former thunder thigh clan member (although I ...As a former thunder thigh clan member (although I know they are latently still there) ... I always found a sense of being well grounded and able in that I had strong legs. At my age my legs are still full of thunder although they have changed in their appearance over the years. I was at my best right after I had my son. I have pictures of me that are just astounding. Where it all went it a mystery but I don't think of them any differently than before. Skinny legs and all ... not really attractive. I am more in favor of women of the ages who carried their loads on big strong legs. There is beauty in and thunder in the thighs. Carry on girls. You are all beautiful. Don't be duped by the fashion industry. They haven't a clue what makes a woman beautiful.pulling weedshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03970009217674886622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8743103832186134524.post-30068928908967569192010-11-11T11:52:16.213-08:002010-11-11T11:52:16.213-08:00Thank you Ladies for taking the time to leave such...Thank you Ladies for taking the time to leave such insightful and heartfelt comments. This is what it's all about: the transmutation and redemption of shame around any of our self-conceived flaws. For me, it has been in the form of thighs. But it presents itself to us in so many different manifestations. Whether in lack, or excess, fear of unworthiness or shame in ANY form is but an ego distraction tactic keeping us from the freedom that is our divine right! Thanks for being part of the Clan!Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649906975241015239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8743103832186134524.post-26387506481704606932010-11-09T16:22:50.368-08:002010-11-09T16:22:50.368-08:00Beautiful words and thoughts as usual.
