Be Body Proud!!

While preparing for a lecture I was giving on being 'Body Proud' India Arie's song titled Video popped in my head. I love this song as it speaks to the beauty within all woman. On days when my muffin top is sticking out of my top, or my skin gives me flashbacks to my days of using Clearasil I simply sing this song in my head.


Indeed I'm not the average girl from your video (at 5' 3" there's no chance of that!) and I ain't built like a supermodel (I'm Italian and so not about to give up pasta!)
But, I learned to love myself unconditionally because I am a queen (The literal translation of Sarah means Princess but I like to take artistic license and I go with Queen)

So the next time you are feeling less than Body Proud think of me and India Arie and...

Clear your mind, now's the time
Put your salt on the shelf
Go on and love yourself
'Cuz everything's gonna be all right
