learning to love the skin you're in:

Tomorrow is my speaking engagement for Women in Spiritual Harmony. A have spent this last week preparing my message, deeply pondering my topic: How to Love the Skin You're In. This has given me a great opportunity to re-visit the conundrum women face about loving their skin, being happy with their various shapes and sizes and celebrating this vessel we call our bodies; all of which motivated me to write my book, Feel Good Naked where I discuss at length the tragedy of female body hatred and all of the evil ways this malaise strips away our precious life force. I think about the effort women make to look a certain way based on a society that brain washes the female sector to believe that this looks good, that looks bad, size matters, clothing labels are important, aging is a no-no ... and that's just a snippet of the female body hatred iceberg. Here's what I know for sure and I look forward to talking about: on any given day you can choose not to put faith into such a crazy belief system, but instead you can and deserve to take back your personal power, re-claim your life, enjoy and celebrate your body and smile knowing how perfect you really are, right now. And although this tender process can be brutally hard at times, we can't know pleasure unless we recognize pain. Hope to see you tomorrow.
