What Causes Breasts To Sag or Droop

Sagging or dropping of the breasts is a natural, inevitable process that happens to most all women at some point. The most notable sagging happens through normal life experiences. Webster's dictionary defines sag as: to sink downward by, or as if by weight or pressure.

Women of Excellence on Reflection!

Yesterday on our blog, I started a conversation based on the question asked of me by Emily Roach during a radio interview last week. I touched on her intrigue with "discovery" as the most important aspect of the 2nd half of the journey. However, "discovery" doesn"t come without its partner - reflection. That"s where I"m headed today with our conversation. I don"t think I need to go to Webster"s to define reflection for any of us. Basically, it means to "look back" or "into". Metaphorically, it"s staring into the "pool" and what I see is "me". But I do feel a need to make a distinction I think is important. What I"m talking about here is "self-reflection" versus event reflection or experience reflection.
