I M Perfect lady

Perfectly You!

February is the month of love. And, we typically think of love as being romantic and with another person.

This month to me is about self love; for without it you truly cannot love.

We are with ourselves 24/7 and there is no where we can go, that we are not there.

So, it is best to come to peace with ourselves, OR change the things that bring us pain.

It is easy to love the things that are easy to love; like great hair or pretty eyes.

What is much harder are the things we think are 'wrong' with us.

I have found, that the things that were the hardest to love, were the exact things that were unique to me, or the ones who shaped me to be strong, brave and to live authentically.

Perhaps we need to re-define and look closer at the things we believe we don't like.

"Self-Love begins with loving your flaws" is what I put on a mug. However, what we define as our imperfections, are perfect when we go back to the source.

Some may say that my sexual abuse is a flaw.

Or, that my size is a flaw.

Or, that my nose is too big and a flaw.

My belly a belly flop and too big.

You get the idea.

However, I see myself as being me in this moment in time.

My body is the least interesting thing about me.

And, more what happened to me.

What is more interesting is the person who lives as Me.

Who is she?

You can focus on what you believe are flaws OR you can go deeper and find out who you truly are.

Love the 'flaws' and you will find out the imperfections are what make you perfectly you!

I look forward to every new post, Beth. Today was an uplifting one for everyone. Your February pin-up is bold, happy and confident in the joy and celebration of what is happening in the moment the women are experiencing together. Today I will respect my flaws and tell my inner critic to be silent; after all that critic runs its mouth on what advertising, desire for something someone else says is better for me and the condemnation of someone else to build my “self” up. Fake news for sure. Great start for the month and look to acknowledge and accept more of myself and others. This will require being present and release me from the pressures of the past and the future. Joanie

Thank you ladies, we do have to leave the opinion of others behind, and hear the wonderful things that make each of us unique.

For months now, my yoga teacher has been exhorting us to send “ridiculous amounts of love and understanding to our most vulnerable parts: body, mind or spirit, and any parts we may think need changing —-but, in fact do not need changing.” It is an interesting request. Ridiculous amounts of love and understanding. In other words, those parts of each of us could use a little more than “regular love and understanding.” I have so enjoyed being part of this thought process. Connie got this quote from another yoga teacher and I do not remember their name but I will never forget this concept.
