It's Gossip Time!

Today I want to tell you all about an organisation called 'Body Gossip' which is all about getting people of all ages, gender, shape, size and race to love their bodies and to think positively. It was first founded in the UK in 2006 by two women named Ruth Rodgers and Natasha Devon. They created the organisation in order to help people who didn’t think positively about themselves and their image, and that’s when the whole thing started.

Over the years they have progressed to do amazing and inspiring things, such as holding educational sessions throughout the UK in different schools and social clubs. They have also produced a book holding many people’s stories about their body issues, which have then been produced into performances for stage and short films – with a few celebrity cast members helping to tell the tales.

Today ‘Body Gossip’ has grown strong in number, gathering people from all over the UK and have now begun to spread across the globe, spreading the gossip about the importance of positive thinking and a good attitude towards your body image. The organisation has held lots of events, one involving a school performing their body stories to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge!

There are lots of ways to find out more about the ‘Body Gossip’ organisation, and a great place to start would be their main website: http://www.bodygossip.org/home Take a look at their history, their latest news, and their lovely collection of merchandise (I highly recommend the t-shirts!) You can also get the book, which contains so many stories of people who have struggled with their image, as well as a forward by Gok Wan himself.

Other places of action are on their social networking pages on Youtube, Facebook and Twitter, Pinterest and Instagram: https://www.facebook.com/bodygossip , https://twitter.com/_bodygossip , http://www.pinterest.com/bodygossip/ , http://instagram.com/_bodygossip , https://www.youtube.com/user/BodyGossip

Don’t forget to pass on the gossip to your friends and family, and get the positive vibe out there. I’m off to organise my #BodyGossip Flashmob which you can do also!
