When are we going to be Okay?

 There was this mirror in the place my  husband Bill and I were staying. Honestly, it made me look at least an inch bigger on both sides of me. That may be no big deal to some, but it was too me. I was discouraged every time I passed by. It drove Bill nuts! He got tired of hearing about it.

"Dove" keeps doing these campaigns helping especially women figure out that there is no perfect shape or even size. Maybe you believe that in your head, but do you believe it in your heart? There can be alot of distance between the two!

it is a challenge when in North America being size two or size 8 is seen as the "right" size to be. Are they more loved because they are? No! 

I think we need to be kinder to ourselves. Eat healthy, exercise for sure, but give yourself a break. Say nice things when you look in the mirror!! 

We are loved because of who we are. The kindness we show, the love we share. The laughter we inspire in others. The way you make people feel like they matter. These are the kind of things that truly count.

Your clothing size, how big your nose is...seriously,it is not the deal you think it is. You are special. There is no one like you. God made you ..you. No one else can bring to this world exactly what you do.

Today, love yourself and love others! That is what really matters!
