Melissa at Operation Nice gave us a new assignment to make a Love List containing all the things we love about OURSELVES. So here's mine!I love that I write poetry. It has been the greatest form of therapy ever! I love that my eyes are light brown. I get many compliments on them. :) I love that I can sing. It's a family thing. I love that my heritage is infused with french and black, which makes me creole. I love my New Orleans accent. Many people can tell where I'm from by how I speak. I love that I have this huge desire to help others. I love that I'm a caring person. I love that I can go anywhere and not feel uncomfortable about myself, because I look a bit different from everyone else. (see pic)
I love that I finally fell in love with myself three years ago. I love that I love me more today than yesterday. I love that I'm a mommy (I Rock!) LOL
I love that I'm head over heels with music. I love that I can rock to Alicia Keys, then flip and sooth my soul with Frank Sinatra. I love my voice! Although it has gotten me into trouble many times. LOL (family will totally get this one)
I love that I finally rest comfortably in my skin, because there can only be one me. And I LOVE that I rock being her!
Great list! It's great to focus on everything we love about being ourselves.
ReplyDeleteI'm making my list tonight and see what I can come up with.

Also, forgot to mention this, not sure if you've read this poem before - it's call the Invitation by Oriah. I think you'll enjoy it.
