Seeing Others As Whole

Today I had the privilege of listening to a nationally acclaimed body image expert talk about how & why people do things, especially those things that might hurt them eventually or even now.

It occurred to me of how worthy just plain WORTHY people are to be loved💛!
Even those with incredible problems, even those who seem as if they have nothing to offer us- who seem to not fit our image of who they “should” be just so WE can feel better.
This is for the simple reason that people are NOT (or shouldn’t be identified as) their problems. They are not their titles or jobs. Those things come and go- like the wind.

Then tonight my middle son reminded ME, His mother of some incredible humans who I’m related to-one of them being him! These were things that I had forgotten.
Sometimes it takes someone else to shine a light on someone’s soul and on their true value to help us remember who they are and who we are.

Thankful for gifts of today💙
