Radical Self Love

Before judgments are made about a "bikini" pic I need to say something that some may or may not agree with.

Earlier today I shared a pic of an almost naked beautiful woman and I'd like to share something about body shaming.

The picture is of Sonya, who has written, "The body is not an apology" and I shared her pic bc she's trying to show that the human body doesn't need to be sexualized or judged or thought of as a way to get attention.

She shares what RADICAL self love is in the way a body is first discovered. Think of a newborn or toddler being so excited about their feet, their belly, their hands and being in awe and wonder of their own self.

That's beautiful and radical self love. It's the foundation of love for oneself before we started judging ourselves and others for their size, or shapes, or abilities, disabilities, etc....

This book has really shown me, we don't have to judge or think a "sexy" woman or man is just trying to get attention, or that we need to covet or compare that which we don't have.

Instead, it's showing self-love in a way that is not judged or shamed in ANY way.

I, for one, thought the same thing you might have when I first saw this cover.... then I heard her speak and realized this book is really for me and EVERYONE who might have had a moment of judgment.

We need to unlearn the thoughts we may have about how we look at our own bodies and the bodies of others. I am so glad I'm listening to the aduiobook, and I would love for you to join us too!!!!!!
