February Theme is "ALL OF ME"

How can we love all of ourselves,, flaws and all? Something I definately need to work on! This is normally a picture I would NEVER post let alone have taken.

This picture was taken quite a few years ago now, and I remember thinking at the time (FREAKING OUT) that someone was actually taking a picture of me in a bathing suit! I think now I would actually have dived under the water if someone was taking a picture of me in my bathing suit. How sad is this.. how sad is it we have to analyze all our flaws and why is it not okay to be OKAY with ourselves? I would love to meet a woman that is okay with herself, and I would love for that woman to teach me how to even begin to be okay....

A friend of mine tells me that you need to look at yourself in the mirror everyday (as stupid as it may feel or sound) and tell yourself  "I LOVE YOU".. I have tried this, and struggled with this.. and DO feel so dang stupid.. so far.. it is not working but I guess it takes time. I have looked in the mirror for so long now saying negative things that for the amount of time I have done this (almost all my life) it will at least take 1/2 the time saying positive things...

This months SPT challenge will be good for me.. it will be a time to let go of having to be critical of everything about myself..to accept WHO I AM, with all my flaws!

Self Portrait Tuesday January-Personal History

I have always been one to carry around my paper and pens, and crayons... and of course Mom was always the proud owner of some piece of "art" little Stacie was always creating.

To this day Mom is still grateful for all my art projects and surprises I make for her. I think she probably has them all stashed away somewhere and someday I will meet up with them again to be able to see the progress of a little girl that has never grown up. A little girl who STILL to this day carries pens, pencils, and paper around in her purse in case a creative moment strikes her!

Thanks Mom for cultivating that creativity inside me since I was a little girl. Thanks Mom for the stash you hold somewhere to remind me I am doing the right thing as a grown up little girl!

December is "reflective surfaces"

In this I reflect on things in my life. The person I am, the people around me, and everything I have to be thankful for.
