Darling Meg over at 'The Wild and Wily Ways of a Brunette Bombshell' has this great thing going on where people write in why they have a perfect body.
She's calling it "The Perfect Body Initiative" after Regina Spektor's song Folding Chair.
("I've got a perfect body, but sometimes I forget
I've got a perfect body, because my eyelashes catch my sweat...yes they do-oooh-ooh-ooh")
I admire Meg's boldness to share her "NED" (nasty eating disorder) experiences, because I sure do have my own, but I'm not quite ready to share them with the blogosphere.
So here are what a few of my own friends wrote in on her blog...I've copied them below:
RayRay: "My heart... Because I can still love even after being hurt so badly. It is more resilient than I ever knew.
Amy: "My body is perfect because it can create another human being. Childbirth is a miracle, and someday I get to be a part of it. I can't think of anything more beautiful."
Siovhan: "My body is perfect because it is me. It is mine. No one else can ever replicate exactly what I am. No amount of surgery or hair product could make them me. Each freckle, each scar, each crooked dimple, each pound on my body--it's me. And no one else gets to experience the joy that is being me."
Mine: "My hands, because they are the versatile vehicles from which I use to greet a person into my life, wipe away my tears of joy and pain, and express my thoughts through writing."
How is your body perfect??

your hands are truly brilliant creations AND creators of wonderful words.
I LOVED YOURS! I thought it was very Alex.
Meg is seriously BRILLIANT for doing this. It's what we all need to remember more often.
