When I learned Usher's wife may have had a "serious injury" due to complications from cosmetic surgery, I was sad. Why is it so hard to love those sweet brown faces and bodies that we see in the mirror? What is this voice that keeps telling us we're not good enough just as we are?
Yes, I need to lose weight for my health but my soul - the essence of who I am - cannot be changed by a few pounds gained or lost. I don't want to be at war with my mirror or my psyche. I am learning to love me in this moment. For me, that's an act of courage.
What about you? Do you have the courage to love - really love - yourself just as you look right this moment? How are you guarding your mind and your being from toxic messages about what a grown woman's body is supposed to look like? How are you staying healthy emotionally and spiritually today?
