Deepening Your Search
What is this earthen bowl of treasure that you've found?
It's your belly. And loving your belly enables you to claim the treasure inside.
What are you going to do?
If you're like most women, you've always been told that your body isn't good enough, that your belly is shameful. As far as you may know, there's nothing good about a woman's belly unless it's flat and hard. You may have spent many years and much effort trying to lose your belly, trying to hide it from sight.
I know that the idea of loving your belly might be challenging. Okay, it might be rather unconventional. Well, given the culture's bias against women's bellies, loving your belly might actually require some courage. But tell me: Whose body is it, anyway? Who has the say-so? Who benefits when you belittle your belly? Who benefits when you befriend your belly and give yourself room to breathe? It's your body, your belly, your life. Whose permission do you need to love yourself?
I know that loving your belly is a strange, wild, unconventional idea. But what's the alternative? Do you really want to miss out on the precious treasure that's so close to home?
Today I found a link to a very eye opening site that encourages mothers to love all their shape!
