<p>Today’s Topic  Is <strong>“You Are The Shih Tzu”</strong>…</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-512" title="images" src="http://www.slickgurl.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/images.jpg" alt="images" width="104" height="119" /> I chose <em><strong>“You Are The Shih Tzu”</strong></em> for today’s topic because I know the economy is bad but you gotta hold your head up no matter what.  You have got to keep moving forward!!!</p>
<p>Now I know a <strong>Shih Tzu</strong> is a dog, but I don’t really curse! Some of my guest may do so and I allow it to a minimum but as for me cursing, not I said the brown cow. LOL!</p>
<p>I know that’s easier said then done but do it anyway!  <strong>“You Are The Shih Tzu”</strong><br />
I dare you today, go look in the mirror and say with pride: <strong>“I Am The Shih Tzu!”</strong></p>
<p>Life is to short to be holding ya head down lookin foolish.  My motto is Fake the funk until it happens, Never let um see you sweat and hold you head up even when Shih Tzu looks worse then ever!</p>
<p>To find out more, along with updates on Steamy Trails please visit our ning site @ <strong>steamytrails.info</strong>!<br />
You really need to have ppl around you to promote growth and positivity!!!</p>
<p>Life is too short to be all depressed, face all down and feeling sorry for yourself because of failures or shortcomings.<br />
Quick story to share with you about a lesson I learned early on in life by my aunty.  Yep, my aunty Joy is and has always been thee most positive person I have ever known.</p>
<p>One day as I walked home from school, she noticed I had my head down (all in my biz like most aunts are).<br />
I was a very shy girl growing up and I never wanted attention brought to me so I do remember I may have walked with my head down at times.  I mean that’s what happens with some shy ppl, they carry a body language that exuded a lack of confidence.</p>
<p>One thing I do remember is my aunt pulling me aside and telling me like this: She said Page!<br />
(that was my nickname) she said girl I don’t want you be around walking with you head down like that. She said, you are a beautiful black girl and I will not stand for it.</p>
<p>She said, confidence was the most important attire that I could ever adorn myself in and to clothe myself with it every morn!</p>
<p>My aunty made me look at myself in the mirror and speak positive words to my face every morning.<br />
She told me to keep doing that until I received it as a part of me.  She said Heads up Page! Every chance she got like I was in boot camp of confidence!  I listened to her mostly because we had a switch tree in the back yard and I wasn’t getting a spanked for not having self confidence! You can’t even turn that into a funny story.</p>
<p>However, I thank her for that because that is something that I have passed on to my own children. I now tell my kids heads up, chest out and shoulders back!  I do this because I want them to always understand that yes there will be times when we don’t feel our best but darn it! We don’t show it in our appearance and body language! <strong>You Are The Shih Tzu!</strong></p>
<p>Remember what I said, go look I the nearest the mirror and tell yourself daily: <strong>I Am The Shih Tzu!</strong><br />
Now if you curse say it the other way, but if you don’t, try it my way. Either way it works!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>“You Are The Shih Tzu”</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">We had a caller join us&#8230;visit his page for give away cruise information here:</p>
