So long, farewell, au revoir...

...I need a singing nun and seven adorable children to do this properly

Ah, that’s better. Now I can say a proper goodbye.

I’m heading back to college to start my senior year tomorrow, so my summer is officially over. I want to thank everyone so much for reading my blog over the past few months. It’s been such a pleasure to spend my summer doing what I love, and it’s an even greater pleasure to know that I’m writing for such a wonderful audience. I’ll still be blogging here as often as I can, but I’ll have a lot on my plate as a senior. Thanks so much for reading this summer, and for responding with such insight and wisdom. I’m honoured to be a part of this remarkable community.

I wanted to leave you with this wonderful poster, which won the 2008 Love Your Body Day poster contest. I think it’s wonderfully inspiring - a visual reminder of the things that really matter, and what it is that makes a woman truly beautiful.

Love Your Body is a part of the NOW Foundation, and their site has great suggestions on how to raise media-literate kids and well as ways college and high school women can raise awareness of body image issues on their campuses. They also have a page of offensive ads and a page of positive ads (guess which page is bigger).

You can see the runner-up posters and send them to your friends as e-cards here. This is another favourite:
