Hello lovely
I thought this may interest you:)
The other night I made a simple Facebook post that seemed to resonate with many. It received over 250 "likes" and close to 100 comments. The E-mails are still poring in over this one post! The post is below but before you read that I thought I would share with you one other thing. Now this may seem a bit shallow but to be honest, I'm trying to prove a point here. A few months ago I was feeling VERY insecure about some weight gain and my body. I wasn't going out, I wasn't spending time with my friends and was skipping out on amazing opportunities! One day I said ENOUGH! I decided to start attending social events again. I decided to own my curves and learn to love them until my body goes back to it's "happy place". I even took a job to shoot with a local photographer for a local dress store. The results of that photo shoot are below along with my post from the other night. Enjoy and remember….ALWAYS love yourself!

I put on 30 healthy pounds this past year. I must say that when this first happened I was upset at the entire World including myself! I wrote about it, shot videos about it, cleansed and detoxed my body with all the knowledge that God has given me. Then one day something beautiful happened, I embraced it and bought a larger dress size! Following this FULL ON embrace a series of BEAUTIFUL events started to occur! I got back my menstrual cycle that had disappeared for 7 years because my frail body didn't have enough meat on it! I was to thin to even ovulate! The amount of men that were asking me out doubled and quite honestly the quality of the men that were asking me out seemed to improve ten fold!
I began to relate more to my clients that had endured the same struggle. I pulled away from my body obsessed friends. During the past month this weight has fallen off and 15lbs of it is gone. I would be lying if I didn't say I'm a bit saddened about this. This temporary weight gain has been one of the biggest blessings f my life! I not only learned how to let go of some very toxic conversations I was having with myself but I also was loved for my heart and not solely on the way I looked. God always has a plan for every perceived challenge that we face #blessed #lifelessons
