Well I was in the bathroom looking in the mirror today, trying to be thankful for the woman I saw there.
But instead, all I saw was a woman having a bad hair day. A woman looking for her creative edge. And a woman whose face is being overtaken by her freckles and moles.
That’s what I saw.
So I moved in closer and looked deep into my eyes, because they say you should look yourself in the eye and claim your reality. Which means to claim your worth, your beauty, your talent, your strength, etc. So I did. I claimed those things and more.
And when I was done, I stood with my head high, shoulders squared, chin up, and a renewed sense of confidence. And in that moment, my nine-year old son walks in, turns up his nose, and says, “Eeeww, what’s that smell—Mom, did you let one go?”

And of course there was nothing else for me to do but laugh, even though laughing only made me look guilty. But the reason I laughed was because the self-image I’d just built up was sucker punched by a nine-year old. And I swear the smell was already in the room before I got there. It’s one of those situations where you get on an elevator that has a foul odor, and at the next stop someone else gets on and gives you “the look” like you stunk up the place. Yeah, that.
So now I’m back at square one, and all I see again is a bad hair day (though I had great hair days last week), a loss of creative edge, and more moles taking over my face. And on those days when you’re not looking or feeling your best, this blog photo (which is so hilarious to me) sums it up in a nutshell. Because on our blah days, we should step boldly in our unattractiveness, look people straight in the eye and dare say…
“What? Is there a problem?”
That’s what it looks like the cow is saying in this photo, and saying it with boldness and
self-assurance; even though he looks crazy as hell.
What about you, are you able to be bold in your blah-ness?

No! I am not bold in my blah-ness. I tend to just hide during that time.
Even though when I am out at the store and feeling bold in my blah-ness. That is when everyone speaks to me. And I think I look like crap.
BTW, your son knew you let one go:) LOL!
Just for the record my moles are growing all over my neck and shoulder:) But I love them!!!!
Sharon, I hide too when I’m blah. More so for the fact I don’t want to be bothered with people than because of feeling unattractively blah. Cute just takes too much work some times.
Also, they say black women tend to get more moles and freckles as they age. The old wife’s tale is the moles represent wisdom. If that’s the case than you and I are frickin’ wise beyond belief.
You two are a hoot!! On those blah days, I just do what I gotta do with very little eye contact with strangers.
My moles are growing moles. I don’t love the moles but I accept them. But I gotta tell ya, if I get one of those view-obstructing fellas between the crook of my face and nose, it’s gots to go!!
Starla, just chuck it all up to wisdom. If you get a view-obstructing mole, think how EXTREMELY wise you’ll be. Ha ha Also, I do that no eye contact thing, too. It’s works like a charm when you don’t feel like chit-chatting.
LOL! When we were moving, I came by the office. I had slept on the floor on our area rug the night before because my hubby could not find his CPap machine and there is no way I was sleeping with him snoring like that! I think I had worn the same clothes for a couple of days in a row. Barely combed my hair… dark circles under my eyes… My guy friend here at work looked at me, kinda scared…”I never seen you before without your makeup on…” Hilarious!
Okay, Susan, you win. What you did was serious blah boldness. Going to work with hair unkempt, two-day old clothes, and no makeup around coworkers you see on a regular basis takes guts.
I was referring to going out and about amongst strangers, but you took it to the “people we know” level. You my friend, are definitely BOLD in your blah!!!!
