It's All About YOU!

Kim Sisto Robinson

Looking back at my blogs I noticed they are all about ME, which is getting a bit boring…so today my blog will be about “You”.   The following will be my perception about what I think I know or have learned about the “Skirt Girls” on this site, you.  If you are not here, it is only because I do not feel as if I know you well enough to write about you yet. Please let me into your world.

This page is dedicated to all of “YOU!”

~Jodine—Professor Jodine is a scholar, whom can let her hair down and have a good time.  She has several manuscripts she wants to complete, and she will eventually do this when time allows.  She is a busy mama, and rather than watch grown up movies such as Juno, she is watching those superb Disney movies we all watch or have watched with our own children.  Her blogs are well thought out, interesting, and mean something.  I would have liked Jodine as my professor at the College of Saint Scholastica; she would have taught me a thing or two! 

~Renee—I was immediatly drawn to Renee from her photo on Skirt. I like how she looks, that’s all there is to it.  Renee is a tough cookie, and I swear, I’d want this girl as my advocate, on my team, or as an activist (for any cause) on my side of the issue. Her passion rises off of the page-directly into your face, and her words will make a difference for individuals and families suffering with autism.  She is a spit-fire. (Check Renee’s blog to find out where to buy her new book, “The One.”

~Sarah—Is a survivor.  She is the “Muse of the Month” because she is worthy of the title.  Sarah is an inspiration for every woman on the Skirt site.  She is happy and savors life even while she was in the midst of her battle with cancer.  I have told Sarah that her blogs are like warm, fuzzy pajamas one wants to slide on, and I look forward to reading each one to get my smile on for that particular day.  Oh, and she is zealous promoter of the Target Chains….this is where one may find her strolling around all googley eyed with her cart!

~Charlene—Knows exactly where the reader’s funny bone is located.  She will find it, and make you laugh even if you’re in a bad mood.  The reader will exclaim, “Oh, yeah, I’ve been there.  I’ve done that!”  She is the Ellen Degeneres of blogs, and I assume the funniest person in the special Ed department at her school.  I refer to Charlene as the hot mama, because she will be hit on by every waiter in the restaurant, even though she’s a wife, mother, and forty-something!

~Cheryl—I feel as if I’ve known Cheryl my entire life, and perhaps I have.  She is the cheerleader for every blog on this great site.  If you look at any post, you will see Cheryl’s encouraging words spurring the writers on, and giving all of them little hugs and kisses. Here’s how she writes:  She takes out her heart while it’s still beating and utilizes it instead of her fingers. I am continually moved.

~Amy—Amy was the first photo I noticed on Skirt four months ago, and I was like, “What the hell, do they have super models writing blogs now?”  But after I read her work, I realized my first impression was dead wrong.  Not only did this girl look like a star, but she wrote like one, too.  Her words are like a river flowing, music rushing, and poetry wrapping around one’s mind.   

~Tara—Is so beautifully honest.  She talks about God, church, integrity, Father Blue Eyes, and her struggles with everyday life.  Oh, I love the idea that I’m not alone in the world.  I appreciate when Tara writes about issues that we can all identify with.  I want to shout,” That’s me, too! I know what you’re talkin’ about!” Tara is a girl after my own heart. I only wish she would display her own face instead of Grace Kelly, because she is much more gorgeous than Grace!

~Elizabeth—She is the flower child of Skirt!  I imagine her at Woodstock chillin’ with Hendrix and Joplin and Santana.  I imagine that as a “life coach,” Elizabeth would be insightful, kind, generous, and bring any individual to the place they were intended to be.  Even if one believes differently about her political beliefs, they will still want to read what she has to say because of her great enthusiasm and knowledge.

~Tina—I am just getting to know her, but I know this:  she lifts up her friends and gives them wings. And this sort of friend, everybody desires!  Tina’s writing is witty and crisp, and like Charlene, she will have the reader laughing in spite of themselves. She is the eye-rolling-mom, whom I assume reveals that extreme “Mom Look when she needs to!

~Vanessa—Another writer (yes, you are a writer) whom I am just getting acquainted with. One thing that I always appreciate is a girl with humor. Vanessa is another Skirt girl, whom acquires this gift. Vanessa has told me she hasn’t written since high school, and I find this hard to believe.  It’s a little annoying if you want the truth, since I write everyday!  And here she comes on Skirt with that something special, regardless.

I wanted all of you to know that I am changed because of your stories, words, humor, stimulation, knowledge, struggles, adventures, and lives. I am better.  I am blooming. I am smiling. I am laughing.  I am moved beyond words.   This song will express what I am trying to say……Thank you. Thank you.  Thank you.
