So, I've been thinking lately about the impact my self esteem (or lack there of) has on my children.
My negative self talk does not mean that I am being humble. I am waaaay past the age of saying bad things about myself just to get a compliment from someone. I've started to wonder if it means that I am not truly thankful for the life that I have been given...
If I don't love and value myself, how can I expect my children to grow up doing so? Will Little Man grow up thinking that women don't value themselves? Will Baby B have body image issues? Will either of them appreciate the life God has given them, or waste it?
Today I am starting fresh.
This cup of tea today was a further reminder of my new goal. I really believe it's true.
Here goes.
I'm... pretty okay.
(Well it's a start anyway!)

Unbeknownst to me (big words huh?), Dove has been thinking about this same issue. Watch this video. It's really an eye opener.
