You ARE Beautiful

My friend Leigh and I are meeting on Monday to design a class. It came about from a FB post I shared about loving yourself and Leigh's quote from Jonathon Livingston Seagull in the comments. Loving yourself and how you perceive yourself is certainly being talked about a lot these days.
Have you seen this EXCELLENT "commercial" Dove created?
It was all over FB last week and one of my friends was kind enough to put it right on my wall.
Check it out:

One of the books I am currently reading is Brené Brown's book, Daring Greatly. I read this paragraph and thought, "A-ha!"

"...in practicing self-love over the past couple of years, I can say that it has immeasurably deepened my relationships with the people I love. It's given me the courage to show up and be vulnerable in new ways, and that's what love is all about."

If you aren't familiar with Brené Brown, I highly suggest her TED talk. I have listened to it at least four times. You will love her. It will be entirely worth your 20 minutes. I promise.
Here's the link: http://bit.ly/15VzWux

When I think about the words that go through my head, far less now than before, thank you very much, it's understandable why I sometimes fall apart. I am not worthy. I am unlovable. I'm not good enough. I am in far too deep than what I can handle. I don't like my fill in the blank.

LOTS of inner work, lots of journaling, lots of spiritual work, the faith of many, and finally, FINALLY, loving myself has gotten me to the place of loving myself. Some days it isn't terribly easy. I mean, come on, walking into the gym and crying is a state of unlovableness. Not terribly enjoyable at all.

SO. RIGHT NOW. KNOW you are beautiful. KNOW you are worthy. KNOW you are loved. KNOW you are enough. For the record, this applies to the men who read this. I know you're out there. 
You had to know this song would eventually make it's way here...

Amy & Jeff
AMY UPDATE:
Yesterday Amy walked around the hospital and made her way to the gift shop where she promptly broke the bank by spending $1.99.

HUGE, huge, GIANT news:
She's being sprung TODAY!

PLEASE, keep all those good thoughts headed her way.  xo

I am finally starting to get the hang of Twitter - so, if you're on Twitter, I would love it if you follow me. I'll follow you back. Thanks.
