Happiness, Glitter & Daydreams

This year I have made friends with such a lovely group of women , we are diverse in ... age , relationships , skin colour and loads more, yet we all have the most amazing bond of friendship and encouragement.

Having grown up as a 'fat girl' in a 'thin world' has taught me many things , but the one learning I will never forget is:
to never assume you know someone or their circumstances, to never judge without walking a mile in 'their' shoes and lastly to never project 'my hurts' and disillusionment onto others.

The one thing I have not learnt however... is to overcome self-judgement and even self loathing , you see it is easy to critisize yourself , to see the worst and to condemn yourself ...

I look at how loved and accepted I am by others, yet why can I not extend that grace to myself? I suppose only time , faith and forgiveness will reveal that journey ... but what I can do is encourage you, as I encourage myself everyday .... look past the physical body to the spirit of the person and truly get to know people.

 “People judge by outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.” 1 Samuel 16:7

Have a beautiful week this week and join me in looking for the good in people , looking for beautiful qualities in personalities rather than physical attributes.
 

Today and always ...
