What a great reminder….. to love ourselves, and as Billy Joes sings “just the way (you) are”. Love how you wove in Andrea Gibson’s poetry, and love your line “But perhaps we- who are created in the image of God who is so essentially love that even her own anger doesn’t stand a chance”…. A lovely bit of your own poetry.
Good morning, Lily, and thank you for this post. The poem is just such a perfect way to think about how to not be so hard on myself. One thing that comes to mind is the pressure "influencers" place on others. This is a whole new source of pressure to be "better." Once again your words have brought me insight and calm.
