In Peter Pan, when Peter is teaching Wendy to fly, he tells her to “think lovely thoughts.” Then, guess what? She starts to fly. That’s what you call the power of positive thinking. Positive thinking is such a strong force that it can make real changes. It might not happen overnight, but when you think lovely thoughts, amazing things occur.
Let’s get started with those lovely thoughts right away. Take the negative sentences below and turn them around into positive statements.
I don’t like my body. I love my body. My body is amazing. It gets me around to all my favorite activities and is loyal, hardly ever letting me down by getting sick.
I’m not pretty. I am beautiful. My beauty starts inside me and shines through every day!

Laura Dekker, the 14-year old Dutch solo sailor, has reached Africa.
On a mission to be the youngest sailor to sail the world, last week Dekker wrote on her weblog, “After seeing only water for four days I spotted land this morning. Unfortunately, I could see the land earlier on my radar but not by looking out because of poor visibility.”
Reaching the Canary Islands, Dekker will rest and wait out the Atlantic storm season. While doing so, she plans to catch up on school work and get visits from her family.
Her website says, “Born aboard of a boat off the coast of New Zealand, from a young age Laura Dekker has dreamt about sailing. But Laura is more a do-er than a dreamer. When she was six she sailed her Optimist dinghy across the lake where she lived. As she gets older, she wants to go further. – too far for some. She has already sailed her boat Guppy twice to Friesland, where she had a six week vacation, and now she intends to pursue her dreams far beyond local mudflats and waters. She wants to circumnavigate the globe – a massive aspiration for a young girl.”
Once the storm season passes, Dekker will head to the Cape Verde Islands and then the Caribbean.
Sailing alone is not a new idea. Abby Sutherland, 16, and Jessica Watson have also made solo sailing trips. Sutherland needed to be rescued earlier this year after suffering boat trouble.
Tell us what you think! How old is too young to sail the world alone?!

So you want to be a model? One of the best things to do is to prepare yourself! Here are three tips to put yourself in the right place!
1. Get Involved!
The best way to get into modeling or acting without paying an extreme amount of money is by getting involved in performing arts in your school and community. Join the drama, glee or even dance teams and practice using your talent. Also you can approach retail stores in your area about fashion shows or advertisements that they may have that you can be involved in.
2. Know Your Market!
When looking to get your pictures done, remember that photographers’ styles differ by region. How a photographer shoots in LA may be different than one in New York. If you’re going to interview with an agency in New York, don’t get your pictures taken in Minneapolis. You should take a look at the different styles of photographers and agencies and target yourself according to their needs and wants. Some like it flashy and some like it nice & clean. Knowing the difference will help you out on your search!
3. Keep Your Grades in Check
Although it may be fun to have a career at a young age, it’s important to keep your grades up. Being a model is more than just taking pictures, it’s a lot of hard work and dedication. Because of that, you want to make sure you’re putting the same effort in your schoolwork. A lot of kid models are at the top of their class and that also helps them to be able to participate in modeling. If your parents think you can’t handle your schoolwork, it may be difficult to handle your modeling career also!
