No truer words...

Tooting My Own Horn

Toot toot!!!

Ever hear the old saying "If you don't toot your own horn, who will?"  It basically means that when you accomplish something that you're proud of or have something to celebrate, you should share the good news with others.  It feels good to have others recognize and congratulate your hard work and good fortune. (You know you do the same for them, right?)

That said, I'm ready to toot.

I was recently named the 2012/2013 Woman of the Year by the National Association of Professional Women (an awesome organization that supports, promotes and educates women all over the country):  "For excellence in her work as The Bariatric Diva, writing a blog dedicated to supporting people of size, and for being a passionate advocate against bullying."

This is a big deal for me.  I'm not the kind of person to go around searching for reasons to be in the spotlight, but when a respected group of my peers says, "Atta girl," I want to shout it to the rooftops.

I want you to highlight your accomplishments, awards and good fortune as well.  Nobody can toot your horn better than you.

QUESTION:  What kinds of awards and accomplishments (big and small) would you like to share with us?
