Ok, I admit it. My last post was hardly uplifting. Frightening? Sure. Honest and to the point? Definitely. Necessary? Absolutely! It's my hope that it gave those of you who needed it a giant kick in the butt; that it helped you to recognize your own risk, by looking at Andrea's story. That perhaps it got you thinking about increasing your accountability and moving toward better self-care.
But it certainly didn’t leave you empowered to think more positively about your self, I suspect. So I'll try to remedy that with a couple of fabulous videos brought to my attention by the very same Doris Smeltzer, MA from Andrea's Voice http://www.andreasvoice.org. She brought me to tears (in her presentation about her daughter's life, and then death, from bulimia), but left me smiling in the end, empowered by these two awesome clips.
Please take the time to view them and share them with everyone you know. The first is of Eve Ensler, of Vagina Monologue fame, entitled Love Your Tree. I simply loved this perspective on viewing your body.
It's powerful in both its content and its delivery. I love the messages.
Share these messages with your friends, your daughters, and most importantly, make them your own and take them to heart. And let me know what you think!
