It's Me!

My other get up this New Year weekend. Having fun with taking pictures with my new remote control on my camera. It is kind of hard that I have to take photo of myself and run after to set the mode of the camera. Hubby gifted me with the remote control and now I have the enjoyment to take a photo of myself alone lol! Glamamom says, she is not size 2 or 6 neither do I. But when I accepted the fact that I can't and will never get my high school size, lol, that's when the transformation set in. I become confidence of myself and happy of my body. I am in my mid 40's but never think as old. Rather I think of myself as confident, smart, gorgeous woman. And I think as the dresses, pants, jewelries, bags embellish me and that add to the confidence. I am thrifty and it doesn't mean you can't dress well by not wearing a brand label dresses. It's how you carry yourself that we look good inside and out.

Patron Saint of Paris

When Genevieve was a little girl in the the village of Nanterre, only four miles from Parish, France, a holy visitor predicted that the child would one day serve God.

"Are you willing to serve God and never marry?" he asked the seven-year-old girl. "Yes, " she replied. So the man took her and her parents to a nearby church where she made her vow before God.

At age 15, Genevieve began a life of prayer, fasting and almsgiving. After her parent's death, Genevieve left Nanterre and move to Paris, where her holiness and generosity soon became well known.

In 451, when Attila the Hun was advancing on the city of Paris, Genevieve is said to have convinced the people to pray and fast for deliverance, rather than flee their homes. When Attila and his troops decided to make a last-minute change of course and bypass Paris. Genevieve was called the savior of the city. She also became a friend and advisor to King Clovis, the first Christian king of the Franks.

She died about 512, at age 89.
Today is the feast of St. Genevieve, the patron of Paris.
