Your inherent worth unrelated to the number on the scale or your reflection in the mirror!

I care far less about the number on the scale than I do about how you FEEL about yourself. I want you to love yourself so radically that you see only the beauty of your inherent perfection when you look in the mirror. I care about what you eat ONLY because I know that good-feeling thoughts come from physically feeling good, from nourishing our bodies, from health and vitality and ENERGY! I want you to feel so good about who you are that it transcends any self-doubt that used to be produced by a number on the scale or the way your clothes fit. **I want you to look in the mirror and EFFORTLESSLY cherish the person staring back at you.** Your worth will NEVER be defined by any trite physical attribute. There is so much of a bigger picture than that!!!! Do you know who you are?? Do you know that you MATTER to the world?? Do you know that you are wholly loveable right here, right now?? Start NOTICING the things about you that are so special! Start NOTICING what you like about yourself! Start NOTICING the good you are doing in the world, the way you make other people feel when they are around you, and the further ways you can let your light and love shine! When you really FEEL that, through and through, to the very core of your being, it will just stop MATTERING to you what anyone else may think. You will naturally begin to attract into your life people who know their worth and see yours. True soul connections. Awareness. Belief in yourself and the greater good. The little things that used to plague your inner dialogue begin to fade away. And in that, you give others PERMISSION to do the same!! You empower those around you. EVERYONE begins to feel relief, to feel better about themselves, and to realize their inherent worth!!

No makeup, just a hoodie, nothing fancy- still worthy!
Love and light to all of you!!

What comes with that is NATURALLY feeling better physically, more health, more vitality, FEELING the life force pulsing through your veins with every heartbeat!! How can the small day-to-day worries about a few pounds or your most recent meal or your jeans EVER compare to that?? I know those thoughts come up! You are not wrong or bad for thinking them! I just ask that you REMIND yourself of the bigger picture!! Because in the bigger picture, you ALWAYS matter, and you are ALWAYS good enough, and you are ALWAYS pure love!! Get to that place and share that love with others!!! And feel good along the way KNOWING that you matter!! You make a difference!!! You are INCREDIBLE!!!!

Is age really just a number?

One of my friends posted a picture asking what people thought of the gray hair trend (just google "gray hair trend" if you're not familiar). I like the idea of any trend that embraces something we're culturally/societally trained not to be "ok" with. But what is it that we're not ok with? Is it just the mere reminders that we are getting older or that we're not the image we used to be? Would this model really think she was cool if they were actual gray hairs? I don't really mind the lines on my forehead but I mind the fact that they weren't there 3 or 4 years ago. Is it the change that we're not comfortable with or the projection of what might come next? I've been thinking about age a lot lately. I LOVE the Oprah Prime special with Cameron Diaz where she talks about aging as a privilege (a *must watch* if you ever catch it on OWN network). I'm really starting to believe (*actually* believe... not just believe in theory) that age is just a number. After a certain point in our lives where we are mostly done physically growing and we start the slow deterioration process, isn't it all relative? It may sound morbid (although I swear this actually makes me feel better), but after a certain point, we're basically just measuring an estimation of time until we die. That actually makes me feel good. In a lot of ways, I feel healthier with more vitality than I did in my early and mid 20s. I'm eating better, I drink very little alcohol anymore, I rarely get headaches, I haven't been sick once in the last 3 years, and I feel so strong and physically fit. If I had no reference point to my actual age, I can basically feel as young as I want to feel. What would happen to our perception of ourselves if we literally had no way to know our age? What if we were somehow able to delete the knowledge of our birth year? Would that better tune us in to how we FEEL more than wasting energy fearing hitting that next age milestone? This is all such a fascinating topic to me and I'm curious to hear your thoughts!
