🌹 What if we all just decided that every woman got to be as beautiful as the next? Each in her own special, unique, dazzling way?

Like every woman I’ve ever met, I’ve had my share of compare and despair moments. Like, the moment you start comparing yourself to someone else you begin to despair because everyone else is more beautiful???

And BTW, I live in Laguna Beach, so basically all the baby swimsuit models ALL LIVE HERE and it’s super great for the average woman’s ability to not compare herself. Not a challenge at all.

So what I’m saying is, if I can learn to live in my body and my beauty HERE- where teenage babies run around with their butts out— you can do it too. And do it too for those teen babies, because they don’t think they’re beautiful either (I know because I talk to them).

Try this: do something RIGHT NOW that makes you FEEL beautiful. Not something you think is cool, not something you think someone else might like, something that makes your Soul come alive. Because that’s when you’ll be beautiful.

You know what it is.

❤️😍❤️ it has taken me too long to accept and celebrate my light and beauty, but I’m able to now because other women have poured into my heart and soul and I just want to sing and dance tell and tell all feminine creatures how stunningly powerful and brilliant they are- it is my belief that when a woman owns her brilliance she lights up everything and everyone around her ✨ sparkle and shine on, you brilliant diamonds.

Some of you have inquired how a therapist is coping with these wild times. Well? I stay connected to the fact that the world has always been wildly painful; it’s just that sometimes it becomes harder to ignore because it’s in our own yard now.

But the world has always been painful for many. For example, In India, if a woman becomes a widow, she is shunned from her community. India is also a place with rampant s*x trafficking and systemic human rights violations towards women and girls, specifically.

The cover-up I’m wearing today was handmade by a widow in India through the . I purchased it for $40 last spring at a women’s health conference at UC Irvine. Although It doesn’t seem like much, having intention and presence with everything you do, including how you spend your money, has ripple effects across the globe and helps with your own mental health because you are learning to live more truthfully and empathically. Being attuned to others’ plights gives us meaning, connection, and changes the world.

Every time I wear it, I think about the widow who made it for me and I pray for her. And I stay connected to her pain, her joy, her beauty, everything. I wonder about her life, her story, and what else I can do to let her and other women like her know that I see her.

Excerpts from the poem, “Eliza Harper,” by Francis Ellen Watkins Harper. Eliza Harris was the woman’s story featured in Uncle Tom’s Cabin. The telling of her story is credited with moving the USA closer towards the Civil War, which helped move us towards the Emancipation Proclamation. In many ways, the video of George Floyd’s murder is a similar catalyst to bigger events. We KNOW that there is a discriminatory system in place and it is not okay. It is pure evil. It is the evil of placing more value on one life vs. another. It is the inner monster acting out.

We learn in Jungian psychology about the shadow: that part of all of us that is hidden from conscious view. Part of our life’s work is to confront the shadow self. As a person with privilege, it is your job to confront the parts of you that enjoy your privilege, even believe in it. As a person of color, your job is to confront the part of you that believes in your lesser value.

And all of us are to witness each other: to say to our fellow human being and say, I see you. I see your pain. And I won’t turn away from it. I will reach towards you and heal the parts of myself that I don’t want or like—knowing that the shadow always comes to light.

“Whatever you have said in the dark will be heard in the light, and what you have whispered behind closed doors will be shouted from the housetops for all to hear!” Luke 12:3 NLV
