Letter from the Founder, Publisher, and Editor in Chief

Now...That's Fabulous!
“That’s fabulous,” says your best friend enthusiastically
about your new and inventive idea while sipping on her cappuccino. “Those shoes
would look just fabulous on you,” says the savvy sales clerk in expectation of
a pricey sale.
Today the word ‘fabulous’ is one of the hottest and most
fabricated words being used all over the world. Somehow, the very use of this
exhilarating yet casual slang seems to direct a positive and wholehearted
response to its thrilled and honored recipient.
Fabulous is most commonly defined as ‘incredible’ or
‘marvelous. The rest of the definition gives a clue as to why most women don’t
feel fabulous and thousands have totally given up. One dictionary further
defines fabulous as resembling a fairy tale or fable. It paints a picture that
the word “fabulous” is based on fiction! It is based on an unachievable dream.
It is legendary . . . unachievable…. No
wonder most think the word is reserved for women in the 90210 zip code! So, the
average woman gives up. No more attempts at dieting. No new memberships at
health clubs. We end up buying magazines to read about those who we believe
really are fabulous, while we just sit back and dream.
It's Time For A Change! We, the staff at The Fabulous Woman, say that it's
time for a new definition of “fabulous” that doesn’t require tens of thousands
of dollars and a plastic surgeon. It doesn’t mean size 0 jeans and junior tops.
It is time to once again pick up your dreams, rip them out of the fairy tale
coloring book where they are 2-D, and make them real! It is time to color your
dreams. It is time to stop looking at your life as an outline of what you hoped
for and instead start putting the color back into your life, with the unique
brush strokes that are uniquely yours, and be who you were born to be -- a truly
fabulous woman!
Any woman who drowns out the voices which attempt to
control her dreams and ambitions and instead becomes the person she always
hoped she could be is fabulous. A single mother who struggles to make ends meet
yet never ceases caring for her children is fabulous. A woman who overcomes a
past life of crime and drugs to become a loving wife and caring mother is
fabulous. We've become accustomed to living the labels slapped upon us by
others and even ourselves. Therefore, a fabulous woman is one who lives life
outside the box and reaches for possibilities instead of listing her
limitations.
And it is to every woman who yearns to be free that we
dedicate this “on-line” magazine.
How Will We Fulfill Our Dream? Through positive and
uplifting articles, interviews with women who are coloring their dreams,
motivating forums for discussion, and much more. We also anticipate including
tools to help you as you color your own dreams.

the dream as we put fabulous in the reach of every woman who dares to
dream.
