I love how your bellybutton forms a little heart ^_^
Amen! Beautiful. And I love how Louellen noticed that about your belly button. Truly awesome.
I don’t see any back rolls, dark circles or frizzy hair.. I think you posted the wrong pictures to go along with your post!. But I do see everything else you described, a beautiful, empowered, life giving woman! Look at those pictures you posted, you are beautiful :) and I think you need to add “strong” to your list, I became pregnant at a young age and although i decided to raise my child (i was 18 when i delivered) i had considered adoption, the love and selflessness that goes into giving your child to a family you think can give them the best life is undoubtedly the hardest decision any parent ever has to make. You are strong mama.
I actually took a lot more than those four but couldn’t submit all of them. :-) I have lots of sags, definitely have back rolls when sitting or standing up straight, have cellulite on my thighs, tons of stretch marks and my nipples point to the ground. I do not mind at all though. I used to care a lot, back before I had my son and younger daughter. I eventually found things that I’m really good at, and discovered a part of me that does not depend on my looks (empowering others, art, etc.). There are more pictures if you click my name with extra angles if it will help to see more. I am happy to share. https://crunchymomconfessional.blogspot.com/2013/03/unapologetic-me.html
Kerry, I wish I would have kept my baby. :-\ I was so young and just had nobody. If i could go back i would change the decision I made.
You are a bright light:)
Thank you!! Beautifully written and you look amazing. I bet you are a joy to be around.
Wow made me cry :’)
“I love that my body can give life.
I love that I can sustain life.”
Sounds silly but I’ve never thought of my body like that.
You made me realise some positive things.
… thank you <3
Thanks for that powerful message, this will make more women to appreciate their body after sustaining and bringing a new life to the world
