Amazing this is the topic to start the week because I have dealt with the body shaming all my life, all of it self inflected. Couple that with turning 65 in exactly a month, anxiety, fear and a dash depression permeate my thoughts. Watched the trailer for Embrace ... plan to view as well as the Oprah interviews on aging. Ugh ... all of this so hard, but thanks to you Marcie for making the journey a little less lonely :) so love to start the week with BES ... it's relevant, heartfelt and hits home in a good way
I am filing this away so that I can luxuriate in this curated goodness later.
I have been dealing with the absurdity of loathing my body (whew! The panic attack I had over simply putting in a swim suit yesterday!) while she quietly carried me through over a week of treks and sightseeing and new foods. She’s so sturdy and steady and surprising and I choose to reduce and objectify her. And yet my heart still beats.
I can’t wait to recalibrate with the videos you curated. Thank you so so much for your candor. This is right on time.
thank you♥️

I’m copying and saving this comment. The way you spoke of your body… yes! Your heart still beats and she carried you!!!
