Dreaming Big with Barbie
My Trip Down Memory Lane
Some of the best memories I have as a kid is when I would play with Barbie dolls. I played for hours and hours. I played with my sister, with friends and I happily played by myself.
I recently watched my 2 amazing nieces while my sister and her husband took a vacation. My younger niece Sydney is 11 and plays with her Barbies so we played together.
Yep, I am 48 years old, but had a great time playing with my niece.
What was amazing to me is all the different varieties of Barbie nowadays. There’s a Yoga Barbie, a Barbie with a prosthetic leg, a variety of skin tones and ethnicities, wheel chair Barbie, fuller figure Barbies (normal figure in my opinion) and lots of younger versions called Chelsea’s. I am sure I forgot many other options that are available but I think you get the drift. I was very impressed with how this brand has evolved.
What I remember most though about playing with Barbie was day dreaming.
And dreaming big! Barbie had a life of abundance. She was fun, likable and successful. She didn’t have a care in the world.
And I didn’t pay attention to her body size. It meant nothing to me until it was called out by adults. My brain was just having fun and allowing anything I imagined to happen.
