…like we start
and then we arrive…and then we’re done. I love each of these photos for a different reason. In each I was in a vastly different place with my body and my soul.
The first one is the orange background. First off,
what was up with the hair?! That was before I embarked on parenthood. I was newly-ish married. Life felt rather procedural - go to post secondary? Check. Get married? Check? Buy house? Check. I felt happy - I had it all….except something was missing. A flare? A spark? I never knew at the time…although it’s possible I wasn’t “awake” enough to see it.
The second one is the top right. I had two kids by that point, my two favorite humans ever. I remember having that photo taken and feeling uncomfortable with my body but more so, uncomfortable with my
life. That “off” feeling had grown…
The third photo is me standing in the change room trying to decide whether to buy the dress. In between the second and third is clearly when I started working with Karen. I love this photo. And it has zero
to do with my body. When that picture was taken, my life had been tossed upside down in a colossal way - I was in a new relationship, simultaneously dealing with the tragedy and chaos of a medical diagnosis and the loss of all I thought I knew…and yet the beauty of new love. I didn’t know it at the time….but what a beautiful gift I was given.
The last photo is in the bottom right. This is the most recent…and was taken while enjoying about the worlds largest alcohol based milkshake. And I sucked that baby back with no guilt while sitting with an
amazing partner.
So why do I share? Because there is no before and after. There is only becoming.
Honour yourself at whatever phase you’re at…you are beautiful and worthy. You are strong and capable. Take the photos, love yourself to your very cells. At any moment you can change your story and your
life. And the universe always, always has your back.
