What would your Title Nine caption be?

Perhaps you think the real women on our pages are super women. Perhaps you think their lives are unattainable.

Perhaps you think the whole thing is just a made-up, marketing mirage. But take a minute to think about what your own caption might look like, a caption that gives voice only to the good, a caption that does not allow negativity or self-censorship.

Could you even see yourself in your own caption? Post your caption below and see if you recognize the woman in the words.

If you don’t, I hope you’ll start to. She’s pretty amazing. Or post a friend’s…will she recognize herself?

I’ll finish with this caption, does it sound like someone you might know?

Occupation:

Congratulations to our winner Laurie! Check out her story below!

“I went back to the grocery store five times in a row to get $10 off my next purchase coupons. I was buying cereal that gave me $X off my purchase if I bought 5 or more boxes, plus they counted towards the $10 off my next purchase coupon. The cashiers were laughing at me on trip five, but I ended up with 50 boxes of free cereal. I kept half and donated half to the Alameda County food bank. Laugh away, cashiers.”
-Laurie

The sight, the feel, the strength of a muscle where you never knew one existed.

The confidence born of physical competence.

The camaraderie that comes form working, winning, and losing together as a team.

The courage to put it all on the line, and then do it again.

The experience of surviving and thriving after a failure…even a very public one.

The unmatched joy of a race well-run, a game well-played or a victory hard-fought.

So this summer, get your daily dose of vitamin S followed by a chocolate chaser.
