Jump In...the water's fiiiiiiine!

I am pale.
Really Pale. 
I may even go so far as to say I am clear.
So, as you may imagine- swimsuit season is not my favorite. (And i think it's fair to say that the majority of you can relate in one way or another.) 

For the last 5 years I have hid my thighs and viewed them as large, white, disgusting masses which ooze the embarrassment of cellulite & stretch marks. (Yummmmm) .....
 I had given up on them. Condemned them to darkness forever. 
      ....or at least until last Saturday.

I don't know what made me do it, what made me stop caring. And quite frankly I am not so sure it matters. What matters is: I did it! I removed the shorts and jumped in the water with confidence... And by golly it felt amazing! The world did not crumble. No one told me to go back into hiding- in fact I doubt anyone even noticed. But for me, the baring of one of my greatest bodily insecurities has given me a new sense of reality. I am what I am. I am where I am. Wishing to be someone or somewhere else is dishonoring. Give light to the moment- whatever that may be.


A friend of mine once said to me, "I am what I am.... and that is enough."

Right now I am a Woman working to expose her insecurities and better herself in hopes of providing a more wholesome life for both herself and her family. And there is no doubt about it- my cellulite & stretch mark thighs are advertising a whole new level of comfort in an imperfect perfection.  Come on in with me- the water is just fine!
