—Today as I was having another fit a pity party about my weight, I stumbled upon this poem: “Homage To My Hips” by Lucille Clifton, which beautifully resonated with me at just the right time.
I get so fucking excited loooooove when words EMPOWER & make me feel Beautiful.
Anyhow, here I am reading it for you, Chickies.
Dear Reader, do you ever have pity parties? xxX
This is Obama. He was a stray in our yard. Animal Allies found him a good home!
Hi Kim! You are awesome! I’m glad you liked the poem – and you ROCK!

Ann,
wanna know something?
You. Rock. 2 !! Xx What are you cooking today?
Nice to end the day on such a reassuring and inspiring note. Thank you!
-Karen,
How are you? How is your life? Love coming your way…. Xx
Love the poem. Thank you. Could have been written about me too.
Of course I paddle in the pity pool from time to time. I am human. However I am a big girl now, I have learned to swim so it is a paddle not a wallow in that pool.
Take care of yourself. Loved little bastard too.

–Hey, E.
I have MANY pity parties. The weight thing is just stupid superfical stuff…
but I have daily pity parties about my sister. I miss her sooooooooooooooo badly it hurts.
Xx
Hey. Stop right there. The rage, the grief the loneliness you feel about losing Kay is NOT A PITY PARTY. Completely justifiable. Pity parties (in my book anyway) are about the things that you could change if only you got off your butt, or that don’t matter anyway. Having Kay ripped out of your lives like that doesn’t fall into either category.
Yes.
So true. Thank you for that, dear. Xxx Many Kisses.
So sweet! Of course I have pity parties! Who doesn’t! And don’t believe anyone who denies it!
I love that you’re reading out the poem for us, Kim, you’re so gorgeous. I want to reach out and hug you!
Are those your feet? what a great idea to put that “You are beautiful” note right there! (you are!) And I love the nail color
This poem reminds me of Julie Andrews’ 60th birthday poem – that was very cute! Shall I mail it to you?
Hugs hugs hugs and love!

Don’t you just love that sassy Lucille?
I love when I find people who get me!!! Xxx Have a nice Saturday, dear.
Nice poem, thank you, but to answer your question, I have never felt self pity. I maybe felt i was misjudged or blamed for things i didn’t do, but not self pity. I guess i get what i deserve.
Nikky,
You are a stooooong woman.
I have a pity party every. single. day. about my sister, Kay.
I sob and sob…I scream. ….
and then I go on w/ my day.
Xx Kisses to you flowing to Lebanon.
AWESOME!!! Love it! Just the poem for me too dear Kim!

OMG The timing is perfect!
I had a pity party last night, not just about my hips, but about my butt and thighs and pretty much everything. I occupied myself this morning by trying to pin pictures of beautiful curvy women.
Seriously perfect timing.
I love that you didn’t just write it down, but made a vlog. Thanks!
Mirjam recently posted..Graceful light
Mirjam,
I love that sassy Lucille resonated w/ you!
She is a poet I understand, babe.
Kim, your vlog got me laughing. Kittie was purrfect! Sitting so still while you read, and then hopping off the couch just as you finished. And then the phone rang. Perfect staging. (And you are so cute).xxxx

Love the poem. I needed that right now. You’re amazing.
Laci,
come over here…
i want to tell you a secret.
move closer…
***You. Are. Amazing. *** Xxx
Oh, my goodness! Now I will hear your voice when I read your posts.
Pity parties: they happen. I’ve learned to allow them for a limited amount of time, then to leave them behind with a solid door slam.
Hips: No matter how much weight I lose, I will likely have sizable hips; “child-rearing” hips, as they used to be called. They help with my hourglass figure.
Poem: Love. Owning what is, and loving it for its abilities and possibilities.
***Love. Owning what is, and loving it for its abilities and possibilities.**
Ellen, I love that. I should have read your poem!! Xxx
*child-bearing, rather.
Love the Minnesota accent Kim!
So my wife always reminds me of a line she remembers from Eat, Pray, Love, where Julia Roberts says something akin to:
“Men don’t care what a woman looks like naked. It’s more about, ‘There’s a naked woman here with me.’ And anyway, that’s what dimmer switches were made for!”
You know something – she’s right. I think you women are your own worst enemy in this regard. So lighten up, and embrace yourselves…
Hugs to all, that is until my wife catches up to me and smacks me upside the head for flirting with all the women here…

Yes! I do often have pity parties! In fact I had one just an hour ago about not having enough time to go to the gym this morning. *sigh. I loved your reading and that poem. Thank you for sharing!

So glad you liked Lucille Clifton’s poem.
I just found out she died in 2010 at 73 years old.
What a loss of a great woman.
Thanks for reading. X
Kim this was worth crawling out of bed for. Even with a bad back, you made me smile for the first time since last Saturday when I felt the “whap”. You are frigging adorable and gorgeous too, plus I love your throaty sexy voice!

Beautiful and original. I so loved that you read it to us. I am a Latina and have hips, thighs, and a bum. Where was this poem years ago. Kim, every one alive, regardless if she is a size 0 or a 24, has issues with her physical form. If they tell you differently they are being frugal with the facts. Try and remember to be present prefect… (it’s hard, btw).

Curves, baby got back, hippy hippy shake, it’s all beautiful. Would we REALLY want to look like adolescent boys, just because some magazines tell us to? Um, noooooooo. You are beautiful. Truly.
And DO NOT get me started about pity parties. I’m the queen of what we call at my house “the ugly mood swing” and it ends in apple fritters and tears.

Kim, I read this post and saw your video soon after you posted it. I couldn’t, however, comment right away because the laptop was snatched from me when I stepped into the kitchen to brew coffee. It’s almost 3am my time and I’m finally able to sit, with little Roxy on my lap, to listen to you read this poem. A blessed silence envelopes me as I listen to you read, earbuds on. And what a wonderful reading it is, my friend! As you know, I’m prone to have pity parties every now and then but at the end of the day, I think we should be grateful for our wide hips cause like Maya Angelou says, they make us “phenomenal women”! Loved the video!
~~~~I agree,
I love Angelou’s Phenomenal Women.
& This particular poem reminded me of it the moment I heard it!
Xx Kisssssssssssssssssssssss.
Adorable poem!
I LOVE when you post videos.
I feel like I´m sitting in your living room with you having a cup of mud.
