Ok, I admit it. My last post was hardly uplifting. Frightening? Sure. Honest and to the point? Definitely. Necessary? Absolutely! It's my hope that it gave those of you who needed it a giant kick in the butt; that it helped you to recognize your own risk, by looking at Andrea's story. That perhaps it got you thinking about increasing your accountability and moving toward better self-care.
Please take the time to view them and share them with everyone you know. The first is of Eve Ensler, of Vagina Monologue fame, entitled Love Your Tree.
I simply loved this perspective on viewing your body.
It's powerful in both its content and its delivery. I love the messages.
Share these messages with your friends, your daughters, and most importantly, make them your own and take them to heart. And let me know what you think!
Thank you for sharing the videos. Be it the desire to be pretty, or worthy, there is a poignancy to it... in the need, that is, to love your body, yourself, to find your own self worthy! Not through superficial means... but by cultivating self-love, self-respect, self-worth.. To know that beauty is an inside job, not an outside job. Not something we just tell others, but something we really need to believe ourselves!
ReplyDeleteWell said! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteBoth videos were unbelievably powerful. What a way to start the day!!!
ReplyDeleteThis blog is exceptional - I wish I could get every girl and woman here to read.
ReplyDeleteFor the last two posts in particular, thank you so much.
Speechless! Just speechless
ReplyDeleteAnd you know that doesn't happen often...
So glad you are all finding it as powerful as I did! I only wish there were hundreds of responses like yours! Let's make it happen and spread the word, as Ophelia says, so every girl and woman will read it. And I might add, the men, too! I had my three males view it too; their attitudes ultimately impact the impact of the females in our society.
