...flaws and all

You see, I'm not perfect nor have I ever claimed to be.
I make mistakes...a lot of them.
My clothes don't always match.
On a really really good day, I may pull out the iron.
I don't always wear make up.
Sometimes my eyebrows are bushy..very bushy..like right now.
My nails and toes aren't always painted [hey, no judging].
I cry... a lot and sometimes I curse too...especially when I stomp my toe.
Sometimes I stay in bed, all day, and no I don't feel bad about it.
On most days, I lock my keys in the house.
I also burn food...frequently.
I worry and even though I hate to admit it, sometimes I act as if the world revolves around me.
Some days I think I look the b.o.m.b and some days I think I look like a b.u.m.
I take a million +1 photos.....and yet I still have no photo albums
I do not exercise on a daily, nor do I always "eat clean".

You see, I'm not perfect but I am made perfect in His image.


We, as women, are so hard on ourselves. Today, I challenge you to write down two things that you love about yourself. Feel free to share it below, post it to your social media account with a link to this blog, or just write it in your personal journal. Whatever you do, write.it.down. and embrace it. Every day it's a constant struggle. Did I do it right? Do I look okay? What did they think about me?

Ladies, you are enough.WE are enough. Be confident. Yes, it's a struggle, but I am confident because I know who I am and I know whose I am.

  1. Great blog Toya! Two things I love about myself are:

    1) I love freely because of the freedom I have in God.

    2) I act on visions/dreams without the need of anyone's affirmation.

    1. Deja!!! I admire your qualities. It's very easy to lose faith during tough times and loyalty will NEVER go out of style. Thanks for sharing!
