Going off my Dear Body letter from Monday I have been trying to appreciate, regonize and honor my body more. If you really take time to think about it, our bodies are AMAZING! They grow, move, elvove. Bodies allow us to reproduce. At any point our body is converting food to energy and repairing and cleansing itself. That is COOL!
So what parts of your body are you THANKFUL for or LOVE?
- I love my curly hair. It wasn't curly until I hit puberty, which is just like my dad's hair. The back-story is that my dad died when I was really young so I have NO memories of him but I am connected to him through my curly hair and long legs.
- I am thankful for my feet. Growing up they were used for 16 years of dancing and now running.
- The crazy internal organs that I never think about or acknowledge. I think about my lungs and heart when I'm running. I think about my bladder when I have to got o the bathroom. I think about my uterus and ovaries every 4th week. But there are a lot of other organs in there that I have not once thought about. Thank you organs!
- My teeth. I never had braces but have good teeth.

I love my curly hair too. I pretty much ruined it in high school trying to make it look like everyone else's hair and that is one of the reasons that I love it so much now! Have you tried Ouidad products? I love the Botanical Boost and TressFX but you can get a starter kit to try them all out.
I love this post! Especially why you love your hair!
It's so easy to get preoccupied thinking about the things you don't love about your body. I know I need to take time to be thankful for what I have and all that my body does!
Such a GOOD post. I love my curly hair too! We should all be thankful for parts of our body that keep us healthy and doing everything we want to do!
