I have curly hair, a big, bold smile, I have the ability to run and swim and dance and hold hands.

Thanks Beckie…funny, you finished off your post with my mantra of late – I have been most definitely working on being knider/gentler with myself – a big lesson for me! Appreciate the kind words

You love what you care for and you care for what you love. I love my whole body.

Regard that vein as a badge of honor. Did you know that in some societies any physical sign that indicate a woman has given birth to children increases her allure to men.

I love my Pre-Raphaelite/Roman nose. It’s taken years (and a lot of self-portrait drawing exercises) to realize that the signature bump on the bridge of my nose is one of my favourite features. (along with my crazy-loud-cackle laugh, they’re two things I’ve grown to love about what makes me ME!)

I love my large hands with their long, expressive, “artist’s” fingers. (All the better to hand-talk with, my dear! And of course, to draw, rub, hold, grasp, turn, make stuff and weave up a storm… with the strongest grip and the gentlest touch)

One of the best compliments I’ve ever received was from an older gentleman who told me I had “a nicely turned ankle” while I was wearing tightly-laced combat boots with flames on them. I had never even contemplated my ankles before that, but now I’m pretty pleased with them.

I agree with Jennifer about big bangles. Think proportion, big jewelry and fabulous over sized bags, you can carry it.

As a feminine, I always wanted to look… well, feminine. I used to see girls with delicate figures and features and soft, fine, smooth hair and wish that I had that pixie look. I remember seeing soft wavy hair and wishing my hair could look like that. I felt so big and clumsy in comparison. Tall, with thick, wiry black hair and strong features. Big lips, a button nose, a wide face and height. Olive skin. I felt like a giant compared to those girls. I was never delicate. I’m starting to realise that, as pretty as my pixie friends are, I’m a woman. Standing tall and strong can be as woman as any petite frame. I’m a tall girl, and it suits me. My thick black hair suits me. I wouldn’t want another person’s body. It’d just lie about me.
