Self portrait Tuesday- Resolutions
Acceptance
I have always heard that when you hit your thirties, you begin to truly accept yourself. That you really don’t care what anyone else thinks and you become comfortable in your own skin (I am primarily referring to my physical self here). I turned 35 in November and I am still waiting for this enlightened way of thinking.
So this year I resolve to try to accept myself. I am going to try to let go of the expectation of myself to be perfect. I am going to try to enjoy being me, wonderfully flawed me. I am going to stop obsessing about my body and the new lines forming around my eyes.
I took this photo and the beautiful Boho "tweaked" it for me. Thanks Den!

Oh beautiful wonderful you.
This resolution makes me smile and dance, because nothing feels more right than for you to accept all of your wonderfulness-that encompasses both strengths and insecurities.
You are a strong woman. One I love and adore.
I am so lucky to have you in my life sunshine.
Kisses

you are a beautiful woman, Letha - you know that right? right?! :-) i adore you baby. this is a stunning portrait xxoo
well i hit thirty last year and i'm just starting on my acceptance journey too - so i'm right behind you :-) (and that is an awesome photo of your beautiful face)
I love the softness of the photo--it perfectly matches the words. This is such an interesting topic to me...I do feel I'm starting to move in the right direction with this self-acceptance. I wish you luck as you resolve to find your own.

You are beautiful. beautiful. beautiful.
I'm proud of you - I know how big this is for you!!
I love you.
P.S. Who let Thea hog all of the comments ;)
I just stumbled on your blog, and all I can say after reading this post and seeing the picture above is that you´re just so beautiful! And so is this resolution.

beautiful photo
and beautiful message.
i am 36
and i think it is true...
you start to own who you are again,
although it is not without
it's up and downs and
second guessing...
You are GORGEOUS!!! It is true that once you are in your 30's you start to become more comfortable with yourself, although, that does not happen over night, and it take work, to be sure. I think that we are finally in a space where we are no longer trying to create ourselves. We are who we are, it is just a matter of a.)recognizing that fact and b.) learning to embrace it and love ourselves, inside and out.
I applaud you and cheer you on...because you are amazing!
xoxoxo
i loved reading these words. i felt them pour from your soul with such genuine longing.
the acceptance has already begun.
you've always been so beautiful to me...
love you,
den
I have only just found your blog, letha. The picture is beautiful because you are beautiful.. and I applaud and support your resolution as I'm consciously trying to make the same effort.

Letha, I'm 34. I think I've never been hungrier for life... At the same time, I know what you mean, I never felt life passing by this quickly either... The good thing though, is that we are all sharing, inspiring each other and trying to enjoy this journey joyfully & aware :)
You are truly beautiful!
