Ok I did it! Following the beautiful posts of Maureen at Twig and Toadstool and Ariella at Childhood Magic, I thought, right, it IS time to get real. Often we just post the beautiful, edited photos of everything on our blogs and never show ourselves, the mamas in all our natural beauty… I know when someone points a camer in my direction it sends me into a state, I want to immediately hide, and hope and pray that they didn’t manage to take the shot! WHY? This is me, it is who I am, I need to learn to love myself both inside and out.
These are early morning photos of me just after waking up and getting dressed, no makeup, wrinkles, oh dear, even a few crows feet…. I will be 38 years old this year. WOW, that was fast, and what I have realised after the spiritual journeys that I have been on and will still go on, I don’t FEEL older inside, I just look older on the outside… I have learned so much from so many wonderful people and teachers, so I do feel a little wiser, but my heart will always be young. I may have the wrinkles and the odd grey hair, (a few too many for my liking:) but I do hear my internal critic less and less these days. Posting this blog post has been very freeing in a way, at first, I thought there is no way I could post this, but then I decided to just go ahead:) I am so grateful to Shakti Mama for this open expression of honesty and beauty which has been the catalyst for so many of us woman to follow in her strong footsteps.
I am so looking forward to seeing more of these amazing posts by all of you:)
