- I have dreams, endless, beautiful dreams. And I haven’t stopped believing in them (even if it sometimes feels like I have).
- I'm not perfect. PHEW! Pressure’s off. I'm not perfect and that’s A-OK. ‘Cause perfect isn’t the goal anyway.
- I smile. I mean, take a look in the mirror. That smile of mines is contagious!
- I'm grateful. I know that I wouldn’t be here today if it weren’t for all the glory and pain of the past. I acknowledge that and how it’s shaped you into the amazing person I am today.
- I give kindness to others. From the times I volunteer, spend time educating those around me, give some change to a soul in need or help the older woman cross the street – my kindness is bountiful and changes lives.
- I'm open to growing. I'm not afraid to work through the hard stuff. I want to be the best version of me possible!
- I have a keen appreciation for beauty. I see the beauty in the world. The clear blue sky, colorful flowers, unique faces on the street – with my own eyes, and in my own way, I see the beauty around me and it makes me more beautiful to be around!
- I'm full of insanely good ideas. Like really good. And lots of em!
- My perspective on the world. It's not like anyone's else. It makes me, ME!
- I'm strong. I've weathered the storms. I've come out alive. I'm one powerhouse of a human being!
- My choices. I make them every single day, lots of them. And they have got me to where I am today.
- My presence. Just me being here is a gift. Me here in this moment, writing these words, savoring my life, that is a gift to myself.
- I show up. Yep, I do. I show up for my life, for my friends, my family, my job, my kids and husband, and yourself. You show up.
- My naiveté. I might know a lot, but there still much I have left to learn. And that’s beautiful!
- My authenticity. It might’ve taken a long time to get here, but here I am, shining in all my magnificent glory.
- My ability to bring out the best in others. I've got a gift and I'm not afraid to use it.
- My beautiful body shape that is utterly and uniquely mine. Curves, bumps, humps and all – hot damn!
- My faith which gets me through the rough patches. My belief that in the end, it’ll be ok
- My fears. What could be a more compelling reason to love myself than the very thing that makes me feel human. My fears aren’t unique, but they’re uniquely mine.
- My vulnerability. From the moment that I stood on stage alone with a microphone, to the time I cried in front of your boss, to the tenderness I express with loved ones – I am vulnerable. And vulnerability is strength.
- My ability to sink really low. It might not feel like that's worth celebrating, but my lowest of low's are what enable me to reach the highest of high.
- My story, which is what makes me uniquely me. I have a story, and every time I tell it, I give others permission to tell theirs.
Happy 32nd Birthday to me! Each year I hope to add another reason to love myself. Because who else will love you like you love you.
