I celebrate this day of freedom from things that no longer serve me.

With an open and tender heart toward myself I declare…

My Beauty…

IS in my yoga practice when I close my eyes and connect with my beautiful and mysterious breath while moving through Surya Namaskar

IS my curvy hips and small waist I inherited from my birth mother. I love that wearing them permanently connects me to her since we missed out on so much together

IS my smile that is reflected back to me through the eyes and smiles of others

IS in my competitive nature where I can now listen to my own internal tempo and practice victoriously not comparing myself to others

IS the evidence of aging that is on my body which tenderly holds the half of a century old story of my journey

IS that my highest self is self forgiving and self loving

IS my highly sensitive nature that allows me to be deeply grateful to my team of professionals, family and friends who have been helping me heal from an eating disorder

IS the joy in my heart when my oldest son walks through the door visiting from college
and our family is whole again!
