Page 8B The Castlegar Sun Wednesday, September 30, 1992 Without mistakes there would be no success Fairy Godmothers! Do you ever wish one would just “pop” into your life before your very eyes and make all your wishes come true? I believe we've all had that dream at one time or another, even if it is buried back possible. They were “just dreams". Strange even with per- ceived futility I did keep these dreams alive, never quite letting go. As a youngster, I carried some pretty wild fantasies, let me tell you. They tell me it's healthy in . I still have a lot of dreams in which I like to lose myself now and again. Dreams are amazing creations for sure, I'm not referring to the “sleeping” kind although they also leave much room to wonder. No, I'm referring to the ones that come straight from the heart, the yearning and passions. Some of mine are now realized. Years ago, I would not have believed it ROBSON MECHANICAL HEAVY DUTY AUTOMOTIVE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION ° GENE WADDINGTON 7 imagination. However, as one grows older they can become “pipe dreams” Reality! What an annoying concept. The little bugger slides into your dreams at the_most inopportune times, for sure. This intruder even has the nerve to insist on STAYING. Well, I for one take issue with this and declare war now and again. After all, reality is a perception, and we all know how reliable percep- tions can be.

You'll never cheat on your take that self- defense course? You'll never cheat on your crossword puzzles again, you promise! Gulp! They're alongside you now, good-bye world ... “Excuse me, could you direct me to the nearest hospital please, my wife is in labour and we are just passing through town?” Your legs buckle in relief and you begin to breathe once more. You collapse on the sidewalk as you watch them drive away, swearing never to go out along at night again. (They were nice people though.) Consider the times when “flying”. To some it means trav- elling in an airplane, to others it's speeding in a vehicle. I can fly in my dreams and never get so much as a broken bone. Our cre- ative juices are at work during n is an insecticide our “dreams”, We sion the most perfect of scenarios in which we would like to exist. The perfect job, home, family, etc. The only thing that stops us from achieving our desired goals in many cases is a “limiting belief” that it is “only a dream”. Well, I actually dared to fol- low a dream or two after I was positively influenced by some incredible individuals who had done the same. And I did jump off that cliff, I did fly, however I was terrified the entire time. I've taken a few leaps over the edge you've talking ... “Would you roll up your skirt please?” was just a tad bit of a variation of “Would you roll up your shirt sleeve?” (My doctor almost died laughing over that one). But how many times do we alter our perceptions based on misunderstandings that are never Clarified. My doctor is actually a very nice guy, not a sex maniac at all, and I not been naive enough to begin what I thought he requested, I would never have been enlightened. I have learned a lot about i and their h only to di that if I work hard enough at something I truly desire, and it's for the right rea- sons, I'll almost always succeed. I've also had to learn to accept “setbacks” along the way, (some people call them failures”. And isn’t it a fact, if we made no mis- takes along the way, success would fot be a reality? Keep your dreams, for they harbour the magic of the creative soul. Brenda Hogstead is a Castle- gar resident who boasts no for- outcome. So just maybe we can create our very own reality. There is a limit, of course. Chances are jumping off a cliff in an attempt to fly will always cre- ate the same results. Possibly this is because of our perception of mal lifeskills training other than having survived "so far.” Her background drove her to explore the area of lifeskills and soul searching and in this she has found peace.

Almost none of these chemicals have ever been banned by the government. We need to be diligent in searching for options to chemi- cals, and we need to be just as diligent in using them.

Such as the width of your hips? The length of your legs? The size of your waist? The size of your breasts? The colour of your hair? Your eyes? The list goes on and on and on. Each and everyone of us has one time or change at least one part of our body. Some people will choose cosmetic surgery to fix what they consider imperfections. This can cost anywhere from $1,500 up. Or, some people try and mask these imperfections in a cheaper, quicker way—by choosing cer- tain clothes that will accent the good and hide the not-so-good. Some people, mostly women, feel that their hips should be smaller. This could be achieved by wearing dark-coloured skirts and pants, such as black, navy blue or charcoal. Darker colours tend to create a slimming affect another wished that we could, Using clothes to brin Couple this with a long blazer (which can also cover problem areas) and you can create a longer-look. Try to Slay away from big floral prints or big bold A Touch oF shin Joan Andrade prints in general. These create an affect which makes one look big- ger than you really are Do you have a tummy you'd really like to get rid of and no amount of sit-ups can help? When dressing, try wearing loose-fitting shirts or blouses, Sweaters or sweat-shirts. Avoid tucking your top into your pants or skirt because this tends to magnify the size of your tummy. Blazers also work very well in this situation to conceal unwant- ed bulges. Would you like to have a smaller looking waist? To achieve this, wear dresses or pants with a V-waist. How many women out there would like to have larger breasts? This can be achieved by doing one“of two things: One, wear a push-up style brazier or a brazier that is a size too small Two. Try dabbing a little founda- tion or blush between your breasts which is a shade darker than your own skin. This creates th illusion of cleavage. V-neck and low cut tops can help as well On the other hand, there are probably as many women who would like the appearance of smaller breasts. These women should wear loose, dark tops. V- necks and low cut tops are a no- no in this instance. Are your shoulders slight? Do you have a pear shaped body? Anything with shoulder pads will work well for women with small g out the best shoulders, It gives the illusion of 4 more proportioned body. If you have large shoulders. and fear looking like a football player, don't wear anything that has them—unless they are very thin and give shape to the blouse or shirt you are wearing. A lot of money isn't needed to improve your looks. What is needed however, is the knowl- edge, imagination and time. With that in hand, you can work won- ders.
