I have confidence in me!


 “With each step I am more certain

Everything will turn out fine

I have confidence

The world can all be mine

They'll have to agree

I have confidence in me”🎵

This song 👆🏻 has been in my head a lot the last couple weeks, and when I stopped to think about it, I asked myself if I really did have confidence in myself... I talk a lot about body positivity and self confidence- it’s something I’m passionate about! And I would also consider myself a pretty confident person. I love talking about and inspiring others to have that same confidence. 👏🏻 Being comfortable in your OWN skin is what it’s all about right? 🥰 

In a world telling you to be something else, to look a certain way, to wear certain things, and do or don’t do certain things, being yourself is ALL that matters! 🤩

But sometimes I don’t feel confident. 😕When I look at pictures of myself, UGLY words come to my mind and I start to feel down. 😔 I know I shouldn’t say those things to myself, but sometimes I do. 

But it got me thinking: 🤔 

Would we say those awful things to our friends? To our children? To our loved ones? 

Ummmm definitely not! Then why would we say those things to ourself?

Why can’t we just love our bodies, no matter what? The end. No questions asked. 👊🏻 Why can’t we love them and for once when we look in the mirror, have absolutely nothing bad to say? I love you, thank you, you’re enough, the end. 

I’m trying to retrain my brain to treat my body and myself with more love. 🖤I’m trying to accept my body wholly, at every stage of my life. I’m trying to be ME, no questions asked. I’m trying to be more confident. ♥️

Isn’t that what we all are “trying” to do? 

Our bodies change! The key is to loving your body and accepting it in whatever stage you’re in. 

So, my friends! Join me in trying to be kinder to our bodies and loving where we are all are at physically! And always remember to LOVE yourself completely, accept yourself completely, and be 100% you! 🥰👏🏻 #bodypositivity #beyourself #loveyourself #youareloved #soundofmusic

My body: ❤️

  New post: My body: Warning ⚠️ vulnerable post ahead!  I’ve always been more on the plus size side and have really tried hard to work on myself to become more confident with my body. I’ve tried to feel comfortable in my own skin and to love and accept my body in every stage, because EVERY stage is beautiful! But I’m not perfect at it and some days are hard. I’ve recently gained some weight that has come with the stresses of life (uggg it’s the worst) life changes, etc. and have found myself absolutely CONSUMED with my body and how “awful” I think I look. 😓 I’m the girl in a room thinking of my weight and if I’m the heaviest. Constantly comparing my body to everyone else’s. I always thought that I had to have this “perfect” body to feel accepted and that if I didn’t fit this standard of beauty that I would have no value.  I find myself comparing my body to everyBODY that comes along. I remember for almost every birthday growing up, secretly wishing to be “skinny” and thinking that if

God is love ❤️

 I recently attended the funeral services of Cason’s uncle that unexpectedly passed away. Even though I didn’t know him super well, he was such a kind man! Tears fell as the talks, memories, and testimonies of his family, grandchildren, and friends were shared. I walked away feeling so uplifted ❤️🙏🏻 it was such a spiritual funeral. I think that’s the point, when loved ones pass, is to get you to reflect on your own life and the people around you. I felt so much love that day-So much care and concern that God is aware, He is in control, and He knows what we are all going through! I know God has a plan for each of His beloved children. I know He loves each and every single one of YOU! Yes, YOU. I know that not a tear falls that He doesn’t know about or of a hurtful thought that was said to you. He celebrates the good times and is there for us in the bitter times. He finds joy in the things that make us laugh and in the people we help along the way. He truly is our biggest fan and cheer

LIVE ☀️

  New post: I’ve been doing a lot of reflecting recently and realized that it’s been a while since I’ve felt inspired to write a new post.  Hardships and loss, like most thought provoking experiences we are all going to get to go through, bring lots of reflection. Loss of a loved one, compassion for those experiencing the loss, and the sorrow and grief that come along, that you don’t quite understand and realize, until you go through it yourself.  Death and change, ironically, make you think and reflect on your own life. The impact you make, the example you set, the kindness you show, the love you give freely, and the acts of service you show to others.  It (hopefully) makes you want you try harder. To be a little better. To love more. To give more. To serve more. To LIVE more. To not let the opportunities pass you by. To spend more time with the ones you love. To do the things you’ve dreamed of doing. To not sweat the small stuff and to actually LIVE. ☀️ So here’s to the new version o
