As the natural process of aging has started on my own body, I have wondered why society hasn't been able to accept the human body as it changes. I was watching my body change and was trying to maintain a more youthful appearance. One day my granddaughter looked at me deeply into my eyes, she saw everything and this love was emanating right at this imperfect face/body with it's lines, spots and stretchmarks.

It took some time but I started to try to accept myself as my grandchildren would. My fiance shared the pictures of the Beautiful Body Project. As soon as I looked at the sweetness in others it was much easier to turn it back on myself. It's much easier to accept my fiance's head on my belly, his hand on my hips that have settled.

There are days when I don't feel I walk the walk, but for the most part I'm on the way of accepting myself and why shouldn't I when I accept others. Have a great day! Love Lorraine
