My imaginary coup stick gets a new notch every time I:
Get my rear to the gym no matter how long I stay!
Manage to brush my teeth before I fall asleep
Take those vitamins!
Say ‘no’ whenever my heart desires!
Stick my tongue out at those 16 year old models in Vogue
Smile at the lady who looks back at me in the mirror
Count my blessings instead of my losses
Let’s face it ladies if we’ve made it this far we have a lot of coup to count!
OK out there – share your favorite ‘strikes’! What do ya say, ladies? Let’s hear from you!

Thankis to all of you for sharing your coups! You guys are inspiring - and that's what it's all about, right?
ReplyDeleteMy best coup is each time I tell that mean, critical bully voice in my head - to back off!
ReplyDeleteI like this one. Hope you don't mind if I share your coup!! Other coups: Not being the nice person if I don't feel nice, walking 5 days a week, Washing my face and moisturizing before I go to bed, and being true to myself.
DeleteI've been reading what you all have written each nite before going to bed - it's like one of those incantations (?) no, no...rats I can't remember what they call them... But thanks!
