Happy Monday Everyone!
I know Monday is not very exciting for everyone, and sometimes it’s not exciting for me, but something interesting happened to me yesterday…
Anyone that knows me knows that I’m a teensy weensy bit insecure about my tummy… well, it’s not as flat as those girls in the magazines, so It’s always a fitness goal of mine. In High School I spent many years doing hundreds of crunches every morning and night… with bicycles, and jumping jacks, and push ups, all to no avail… I was a hot mama everywhere else, but my tummy.

Whenever I feel like I’m looking healthy, I look down at my tummy, and I say, nah… as long as my tummy is there, I can’t be in tip top shape… but yesterday…
Yesterday while preparing for church I looked at myself in the mirror and I saw how skinny my face was. Maybe it was the hairstyle, or the angle of the mirror (shout out to my boyfriend/husband for holding the mirror for me, even though he was just trying to make sure that we get to church on time… but I digress), or that my eyes were finally opened… but whatever it was, I realized that I’m not as big as my tummy may lead me to believe…
And it made me think about my life and all the times I would judge my outfits, and my attractiveness based on what my tummy looked like, but the whole time I was looking at the wrong thing… it made me think about all the amazing things I may have missed out on because I felt I was ugly, or not good enough or not pretty enough, or not smart enough, or not special enough…
I guess what I’m trying to say is that whatever comes my way this week I want to remember that things are not always as they seem. Whatever it is that comes my way this week, I want to remember that I can do it, I am enough, I just have to decide that I will… So what about you? Isn’t it time you start seeing yourself in the right perspective? You are enough, actually, you’re more than enough! Go get ’em girl! Go get ’em tiger! 🙂
