julie, love this post.

i might add the “un-suck” for your consideration. this is good suck on steriods. it happens when you totally let go of the yearning, the wanting, and discover that suck in more than you ever dreamt possible.

So true. I do weak suck a lot when I’m not feeling self confident (ie I don’t deserve what I want). Sometimes I think I just need to stand up for myself better!

I believe in the suck, the good suck. It is all about sending positive messages out there in the universe and sucking in the good stuff. I have been fortunate to be blessed with an inordinate amount of good things in my life and I think it is all in the attitude.

Nice suck! Now beware, you might become as addicted to boots as I am. I look forward to fall every year just so I can pull out my hot red (more of a cranberry than a fuck me red) double zipper tall boots. No Keds and denim capris for me on the playground, baby.

That was an awesome read. I may seem a bit crazy the next few days walking around muttering “good suck good suck” under my breath… but it’s definitely worth remembering!

Congrats on the boots! I love my boots in the winter… throw on a pair of knee-high socks underneath, and you’re toasty warm AND fashionista-ish.

Todd – definitely! That’s the self-feeding momentum I was discussing before. Good suck breeds good suck…

My suck is random and uncontrolled for the most part. On the other hand, I have days when things just flow. I’m sure it helps that once I’m on a roll my attitude is high and of course the world seems to give me the good suck. Ha.
