hello selfies

Lately I’ve been taking selfies in the mirror. I started doing it to document the outfit or maybe share it Instagram, but something unexpected began to happen. I noticed I was getting a different perspective of myself. I want to embrace who I am–inside and out. These selfie pics were a way to see myself and speak kindly to myself. Selfies get a bad rap sometimes–maybe they’re used as a way to be better than others or get attention. But sometimes selfies are just a way to document a moment, have fun, and see yourself. Seeing myself and embracing myself is a good thing. It’s imperfect–up and down but I’m getting better at letting myself be me–no more, no less, just me.

How about some hellos for a brand new week?

  2. I’ve followed you for some time now, and your words resonate with my soul. I love that you’re real, I admire that you don’t claim to be perfect, and I respect you sharing your life with me. Thank you for being real.

  3. Selfies are tricky for me. I try to be casual and smile, but they often look awkward. Oh well! Give in to cereal. I stopped eating cereal for 5 months when I went grain free. I decided life isn’t worth living without cereal. Ahhhh, the simple pleasures….
