Update and the Sweetest Thing Ever

Love Our Bodies Week has been such an incredible week but I am also disturbed.  Have you read any of the Glamour.com comments?  Some comments are heartwarming while others are shocking.  It was humbling and heartbreaking to read their comments as they freely divulged lifetimes of pain and dissatisfaction with their bodies.  Read the Glamour article and its reader comments.  See the Love Our Bodies Week Challenge.

On a much happier note my friend, Ashley, took up the challenge with her AND her daughters, ages 3 and 5, and listed the five things they love about their bodies.  I'm posting her girls' lists and Ashley's commentary.


 
 "1. eyes
2. ears
3. belly (love this!!)
4. legs
5. face
(And she wants me to add: 6. teeth)"


 
"I helped her draw the last two. She wanted me to draw the shirt she is wearing today :)."

Isn't that the sweetest thing ever?  I love that they both love their bellies and that the younger daughter wanted to add a sixth one.
