Great post! I agree….and I had to laugh at the part about your eyebrows. I always think the same thing in looking at old photos!!

Right on Sista! I recently stumbled upon a photo of me in the park with my son who was maybe two at the time. I remember that girl – and I like her. I posted her as my FB profile for a while just so that I could see her and feel a reconnection. Thanks for the reminder – to be kinder to ourselves. We accept others, don’t we? I think it was Nelson Mandela who said in a speech, “We ask ourselves, who are we to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous? Actually, who are we not to be?…As we are liberated from our own fear,our presence automatically liberates others.”
Happy New Year!

That’s the best resolution you can make — simply to aim for a healthier lifestyle for you and your family and being mindful of your example in that regard. After just hearing about a classmate of my daughter’s who is 2.5 and whose mother obsesses about the little girl’s diet because she thinks her 2.5YO is fat (she isn’t, BTW), I think the aim for a better role model is the best gift you can give her.

you can do it AVM! We’ll be cheering you on. Oh and I feel the same way when I look back at old photos of myself, it’s like “why was I so critical of her?” Let your post remind us to be kinder to ourselves.
