the perfect body initiative. day eleven.


why is your body perfect?



I have a perfect body because my back supports all parts of me... even my hopes and dreams.

i must apologize. i have fallen behind. (as well as off the bandwagon). and as i try to climb back on i have taken such comfort in the responses you all have given. so thank you, thank you, thank you. all of you. thank you for reminding me each and every day of just how "perfect" we all are.

Why is your body perfect?


I love my eyelashes cause they are long and flirty and i'll bat them to get my way:0)
Also my skinny feet since they allowed me to do ballet for 10 years and look really pretty with some pink polish!

the perfect body initiative. day nine.


Why is your body perfect?



Every time I look at my belly and see a layer of fat...still...I think of my little baby that I had 6 months ago...and then I love it! I placed him for adoption and miss him like crazy, but my tummy reminds me of the miracle that he is! Such a miracle! Also- my hands- HUGE- but so capable!


Lucy

inspiring. you must read this.

the perfect body initiative. day six.


why is your body perfect?



my knees help make my body perfect. they help me run-- to things, from things... they tell stories. each bruise & scar tells MY story. 
they (quite literally) lift me up after i've fallen.

Why is your body perfect?


1- my body is perfect because it has the ability to heal itself. 2- my ears...give me the ability to hear music, and many other wonderful things.

the perfect body initiative. day four.


Why is your body perfect?




I love my body because it carried a child and allowed me to give birth. And that was a miracle. 

Oh, and I love my fingers because they wipe away tears...mine and those from the people I love.

My clavicle ... because who said a girl needs cleavage?

i chose it because Helen is
a writer. and i think she'd like it.
and because it's one of my
favorite finds and
i've been ooshing for
a chance to use it.

why is your body perfect?



My heart... Because I can still love even after being hurt so badly. It is more resilient than I ever knew.


of course. of course.

the perfect body initiative.

inspired by regina spektor's song, folding chairs,

i've got a perfect body, but sometimes i forget, i've got a perfect body 'cause my eyelashes catch my sweat, yes they do.

i asked,

why is your body perfect?

and you answered. boy, did you answer.

and because your answers were so perfect i decided to create "the perfect body initiative"-- that sounds important doesn't it? well... i think this is important.

each day i'm going to feature a reader's response. and i will create an icon on my sidebar that will take you to those responses. 

the purpose of the perfect body initiative is to redefine what it means to have a "perfect" body.

so here we go,





My shoulders... because they allow me to hold my head high. 


from Morgan


wow. i couldn't imagine a better one to kick this thing off with.

yes, they do.


two days ago i thanked regina for this reminder,

i've got a perfect body, but sometimes i forget.

and then taza reminded me (as taza tends to do) that the in full, the quote is:

i've got a perfect body, but sometimes i forget, i've got a perfect body 'cause my eyelashes catch my sweat, yes they do.

of course, i thought. 

of course (my favorite response). 

these bodies of ours do amazing things each and every day. so...this is my charge to you:

why is your body perfect?

mine?

well.

because my feet get me from one end of the tunnel to the next. 

and about a million other reasons. but that's the one i'll give. 

so now you. 

i want to know. 

and then i want to make a list.

and then we'll have begun the revolution without even realizing it.

what are you waiting for--why are you still reading this?

go.



ps: according to glamour magazine,
animal prints are making a
comeback (when did they ever
go away?) and so i've decided
to wear my zebra shoes
all the time, since i think i'm finally
coming back to myself.
yes, i am.
