You are miraculous!!
Wow, does anyone ever remember hearing someone they love telling them it was okay to love their body? I myself can’t think of a time, and it certainly isn’t a message that ANY of us are getting from magazines, commercials or social media.
So where do we even begin to tackle a project like learning to love the bodies we’ve been given?
Well, I think Cleo Wade makes a good start with this poem of hers. And none of the things she wrote about start with our outer appearance. She begins with the simple things we probably take for granted every single day of our lives: a heart that keeps beating, intuition in our gut, continuing to perform miracles like recovering from injury and for waking up each and every day.
Maybe loving our bodies begins with kindness — just saying “thank you” or “I’ll trying again tomorrow” or “I love you.”
As we’re known for saying around here at The Quiet Whisper: we can change the world one random act of kindness at a time. So, let’s start with the MOST important person in each of our lives: ourself.
