Focused
Determined
Inspired
Empowered
Whatever your life path, whatever your dreams, whatever your goals:
focusing,
practicing,
failing,
repeating
seems to be the only way to achieve them.
So whatever your size,
whatever your shape,
your age, your income, or your position in life:
Defy all stereotypes and remain focused.
You just might become the woman of your dreams!
This illustration is for my upcoming book on the topic of living a big, full happy life, no matter what size you are. It also happens that this week’s topic for Illustration Friday , a weekly online illustration challenge, is “Focus”.

Perfection
The Curve of my hip is just right
for resting a child in my arms.

We have the bodies of women, whether we give birth or not.
And isn’t that a wonderful thing?

Silly Question
Should I really hate myself
because of the size of my jeans?
© excerpt from “More to Love“
Many deep questions may haunt you in the middle of the night:
What is the meaning of life?
Who is my soul mate?
What happens when I die?
Then there is the endless stream of day-to-day concerns:
What’s for dinner?
Did I remember to pay the phone

I believe that you can be happy and healthy at every size.
It may take some practice convincing yourself this, especially if you’ve ever suffered an eating disorder or been on the roller-coaster of yo-yo dieting.
But I also believe that you can do everything at every size.
I am working on a new book with the theme:
Go out into the world and do all those things

This new illustration is for my next book. She represents the concept of being "athletic" at any size or level of fitness.
The idea of an exercise program seems so intimidating.
I drag myself to the gym a few times every year, and then inevitably quit.
Even though I always feel better once I get into a routine of working out, I just hate the pounding noise, bright lights,

We really enjoyed the big family meals
with home-cooked roasts and all the trimmings this holiday season.
We loved the pies, cookies, stuffing, gingerbread and latkes while we ate them.
Loved the eggnog, champagne, mulled cider and punch while we drank them.
Loved the fancy Hors D’Oeuvres while we nibbled on them.
Had a great time eating and drinking at all the parties too.
However…
I bet I’m not

2010…
Where did the year go?
Where did the DECADE go?
What exactly were my resolutions for the year 2000? …or even 2009?
Honestly, I don’t remember the resolutions I made for for the new millennium… But I can count all the changes in my life, changes that I couldn’t have predicted, planned or prevented from happening.
Life unfolded whether I kept my annual promises to myself or not!

By elizabeth patch, on December 2nd, 2009 My husband came home from work the other day,
wearing a beautiful sage green shirt, very soft & silky, and a nice change from his usual tan-white-navy-gray “business casual” attire.
I complimented him, and asked when he had time to shop for it,since he never likes to go shopping.
“Oh, I’ve had this for years, it’s my favorite shirt”.
If that was so, why had I never seen it before?
“I never wear my

I always donate 10% of sales to food banks
in gratitude for the food I received for my family during the time in my life when I was a single mom and had very little income.
During the month of December,
I will donate 100% of all sales from More to Love to local food banks.
For the cost of a cute t-shirt,
you’ll get a cute book AND help feed a hungry family.
So make
