Am I Beautiful?

I didn’t grew up believing I was beautiful

It wasn’t that anyone ever called me ugly

I just didn’t think of myself as beautiful


Instead I grew up comparing my body 

To what I perceived the ‘perfect’ dancer’s body should look like

I wished that I had the ‘prefect’ dancers feet

That my calf muscles were not so big

And my upper arms a little but more slender


I thought that beauty was what you looked like

And I did not look like the perfect models

And dancers I compared myself too

So I did not see my beauty

For a very long time

Now as I approach forty I see beauty every where and in everything

True beauty resonates at the frequency of LOVE

And because I choose LOVE and I know that I AM LOVE

My life is FULL of beauty

Everywhere I turn


When I look in the mirror

I see beauty shining back at me

From the twinkle in my eyes

To the fresh grey hair sprouting from my head

My beauty shines from the inside out

When you walk through this life seeing through the eyes of the divine. Beauty is in all things and every where at all times. 

You are not just beautiful friend, you ARE BEAUTY!

Rest in that now. Rest in that xo
