Take some time and look at these beautiful, powerful pictures.
Story Time:
It took me 42 years to be able to picture myself on a stool like the ones these people are sitting on. I was enough all along but had no idea. Literally no idea.
No idea that I was seen and heard in my true self, even though I wasn't in my true self until I learned what that was within the last couple of years.
No idea I was worthy of love and kindness and appreciation just as I was.
No idea that I was right where I was supposed to be all along.
No idea that I was born for a time such as this.
No idea that the stories and narratives others had been, and continue to, tell about me were on them... not on me.
No idea that I am brave and beautiful and tired and messy and smart and silly and have an immense capacity for empathy and compassion and yet also had the capacity to show that to myself.
Take a minute today to picture yourself on this stool. Hand those things to God that you cannot carry today. Tell yourself OUT LOUD that you love and accept yourself just as you are. Then go right on and shine like a dang diamond.
