A Re-Gift For You

Season’s Greetings from Pemberton, BC, where I am spending the holidays with my boys, big and small, dogs, and skis. For all this and more, I am truly grateful.

For my last post of 2011, I offer a re-gift of the work of Jean Kilbourne, to whom I attribute, in part, my recovery. In 1979, Jean presented her first film on the portrayal of women in advertising, “Killing Us Softly.”  Here is the third update of this very, very important piece of work:

I’m sending the link for part one; there is a second part as well – don’t miss it!

Parents, watch this with your children, especially your daughters, and talk to them about how they feel about what they see all around them, and how they feel about themselves. No one is immune from the effects of advertising.

Thank you, Readers, for your emails and stories that have inspired the blog posts of 2011. You inspire me!

Wishing you a positively memorable holiday season, and hoping that you treat yourselves with the compassion and kindness you most definitely deserve.

With Love,

Ellen
