Someone is watching you. Someone is watching how you value yourself. Someone is watching you how you honor the very things that make you uniquely you ~ your heart, your mind, your body.
Someone notices if you obsess over your weight. Are you about a number on the scale ~ or are you about being healthy?
Someone notices if you obsess over aging. Are you about attacking every wrinkle and sag on your face until you become a caricature of who you are ~ or do you take loving care of your face and age gracefully in the process?
Someone notices whether you value your life experiences. Are you about trying to look, sound and act like the woman of your youth or do you embrace the sum total of your life to date?
Someone notices how you speak about yourself. Are you constantly putting yourself down or do you honor the natural talents and abilities that you have been given?
Someone notices if you even embrace the very idea of being female. Do you speak disparagingly about a woman's lot in life or do you acknowledge all that you can be as a woman?
That someone is your child or children or other young people whom you influence on a regular basis. Are you keenly aware that you pass on your weight, aging and self-worth issues ~ whether an obsession or healthy attitude ~ to others close to you?
It's a heavy responsibility but if you dance through life knowing that you are a beloved, cherished child of God, then others will pick up the tune and dance along side you. Sounds like a party to me and I love to dance!
