How awful to have to lug those around every day. <BR/><BR/>I've tried lately to 'see' people, beyond their physicality. Does that sound odd? To see them as spiritual beings, sons and daughtrs of God and therefore more than the sum of their parts. <BR/><BR/>I''m new to your blog and I'd like to express my condolences on Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17689972441910256724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20035630.post-1160342146649492862006-10-08T16:15:00.000-05:002006-10-08T16:15:00.000-05:00LOL - your Aunties were nothing like I expected th...LOL - your Aunties were nothing like I expected them to be.<BR/><BR/>But how did you come across that picture of me?

I was scrolling slowly and reading so I saw the top half of the woman's body, wondering if it was an actual aunty or some such relative, then scrolled down a little and this unbidden "Holy Jeeez!" just popped out of my mouth.

But, somehow, it was okay to hate yourself?" <BR/>That is so true. I grew up with a mother who hated (and still hates)her body and that was okay. It was reading the chapter of the aunties in Travelling Mercies that began to change my thinking about my body.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15222197140433385319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20035630.post-1160246787528526572006-10-07T13:46:00.000-05:002006-10-07T13:46:00.000-05:00growing up i never liked myself. i never accepted ...growing up i never liked myself. i never accepted myself. not my name, my personality - NOTHIN'. it seemed the more i slide into this darkness the more weight i would gain and the more isolated i would become. circumstances in life fed this insecurity as well.<BR/><BR/>yuck!<BR/><BR/>it's a long drawn out, though somewhat interesting story but to shorten it a tad....i had a revelation and i Roohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09014829847475377261noreply@blogger.com
