purchase from her establishment.
    â€œSold,” I said with a smile.
    â€œFantastic. I can’t wait to show you what we have. I’ve been working hard to get more curvy pieces of clothing into my store. I want to be an equal opportunity merchant. When I first opened this place, the only thing I could wear was the jewelry and the shoes.”
    â€œSo you are not only the manager, you are the owner as well?” I asked in amazement.
    â€œYes, I opened this boutique five years ago. I’m happy it’s done as well as it has, especially in this economy.”
    â€œPlease don’t take this the wrong way, but you don’t look old enough to own this store, much less manage it.”
    â€œI’m going to take that as a compliment. Would you believe I’m thirty-seven?”
    â€œNo, I thought you were in your early twenties.”
    â€œThank you. I try very hard to take care of myself.”
    â€œYou’ve done an amazing job.”
    Once we were in the back I saw many pieces in my size that I absolutely loved. When she said she was trying to get more curvy pieces in her boutique, she wasn’t lying. The first thing that caught my eye was this metallic knit sheath dress with a side knot at the waist.
    â€œThis dress is absolutely gorgeous,” I said holding the item up.
    â€œIsn’t it sophisticated? And guess what?”
    â€œWhat?”
    â€œWe have a matching jumpsuit.”
    I loved the jumpsuit more than the dress.
    â€œBoth of these are beautiful. What would make them look even better is a pair of metallic strappy heels.”
    â€œI could tell by what you are wearing today you have a nice sense of style.”
    â€œI love fashion.”
    â€œIt shows. Is that what your career is in?”
    â€œUnfortunately, no. I’m looking for a job right now since I’m new to the area.”
    â€œWhere are you from?”
    â€œI’m from Virginia.”
    â€œWell, welcome to North Carolina.”
    â€œThanks.”
    â€œYou know, I can sweeten this deal even more for you,” Julia said, looking at me sincerely.
    â€œHow?”
    â€œWould you like to work for me?”
    Was this woman serious? I came in here to find something to wear to my dinner with Sheldon tonight only to file a complaint on her uppity aunt no less, and here she was offering me a job. Look at God.
    â€œReally?”
    â€œI’m serious. I can tell you would be a fabulous asset for my business. You dress amazingly. You are curvy just like me, and we need more of that around here. And who knows, maybe you’ll be the one to help me launch my plus-size clothing boutique I’ve been thinking about opening.”
    I looked at her in amazement, not being able to say anything.
    â€œI am not a person who’s at a loss for words often.”
    â€œThink about it. Here’s my card. Call me once you mull it over.”
    I took her card, still speechless at how this all went down. I knew in this moment this was not happenstance. This was God.
    â€œNow that we got that out of the way,” Julia said, “let’s see what else we can find for you to purchase.”

    Jumping to the workout DVD, I came to the conclusion it was kicking my ass. I knew that’s what it was supposed to be doing, but damn . . . I was already sweating like a whore in church, and I had only been working out for ten minutes of this thirty-minute video. My lavender workout top had dark purple circles beneath my armpits. I thought by the fourth day of doing this, it would have gotten a lot easier, but it hadn’t. I was worn out, and I had just got started. I marched in place awaiting the next move from the man on the 52-inch flat panel when my husband walked into the living room.
    â€œHey, baby,” I spoke, panting and reaching to the ceiling. Right then left. Then right, then left, going to the beat of the music they were playing. I noticed Devin never
