Reconcile with Your Body

At a certain point in your life, there comes a time when you need to love and accept your body and the beautiful way it has sustained you and carried you all this time.  Even when you  were mean and disrespectful to it, it loved you.  It continued to carry you and propel you forward, even when you ignored it or called it names,. it perservered. 
It is time to respect your body, give it praise, acceptance, and love. Fall in love with yourself, maybe for the first time ever.  Recapture the You before someone ever told you that you didn't matter, or showed you that you did not count.  Take all those moments and replace them with a celebration and reverence for the beauty of you. 
But it takes practice, and honor. Loyalty to love yourself.  To really treat yourself like a precious object, to make yourself strong.  You are enough,always, enough.  Always have been. 
This is my love letter to you.  You are precious and strong, you are blazing, and vital.  You radiate warmth and beauty, and deserve love and care. 

Each time I pass a mirror, I find something good, something precious and fabulous about it.  I thank it.
