Start to love and accept yourself!


Why is it that one day you’re feeling fine and loving the skin you’re in and the next day you’re nit picking and seeing ALL your faults? 😩

Why are we so hard on ourselves? Why do we nit pick our entire bodies? Why, when we see a picture of ourselves, do we point out all the negative things we see? “My stomach is sticking out”, “oh my gosh, my cheeks are so chubby and my double chin looks awful”, and “goodness did anyone wanna tell me how white my legs were?” And on and on we go.. I am always left feeling so discouraged and down in the dumps when I nit pick my body. 😣 

Then the next couple days, I am critiquing everything I eat, what I’m doing and not doing, and honestly I’m miserable. ☹️ Why do we put ourselves through this toxic pattern and use such toxic language? Why do we compare ourselves to everyone else, when we really should be grateful for our own bodies? When we really should practice more positive self talk and be kind. 🥺

Friends, join me in trying to be better at this! Let’s try to be kinder to ourselves. Let’s celebrate the little successes, others successes, and the good things we’re doing! Let’s STOP being so hard on ourselves and try harder to just LOVE ourselves! Let’s uplift each other and spread self love and kindness! The world is a dark place at times, so let’s be the bright lights amidst the chaos and come together, celebrating our beautiful bodies and becoming more body positive! I am so blessed with such amazing family and friends - thank you for always loving me and accepting all of me! 👊🏻🥰♥️ #bodypositivity #positiveselftalk #loveyourself #bekind

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
