Self Esteem

beautiful page and a beautiful lady

Beautiful and very brave page! Thank you for sharing your story with us. How many times haven't I struggled with these same issues?!

Oh My Goodness! Girl, that is fantastic! Stunning page and that photo is jaw-dropping beautiful! I loved reading your journaling, too. Nicely done! Good luck this week!!!

A beautiful reminder to yourself, and all of us that struggle with low self esteem. You rocked this challenge and I wish you the best of luck...all your pages were amazing!

Thank you ladies, and I thought many of us could relate to the yucky feelings we have when we look in a mirror. It really was an eye opener having that boudoir session done, I was so nervous but my pictures turned out amazing If I do say so myself.

Kim, this is absolurely stunning! Your B+W photo is beautiful! What an eye-opening (and very brave) experience for you. I'm so glad it opened your eyes to how beautiful you are! Your journaling is so open and insightful. You did a fabulous job expressing a struggle that I deal with, too. The paper layering and clustering are spectacular. I love the template you chose - that curvy border adds to the feminine feel of the LO.

Thanks Tammy I appreciate your kind words. Such a struggle for all of us women I think. Whether you feel you are too skinny, too heavy, too short, too tall as women we are always "too something."

Yes, indeed, you are a very beautiful woman. The light of love, laughter, and life shines in your eyes in all your photos. If it's any consolation, most women who have borne children have the same issues, especially that belly apron thingie. Just tell yourself that it's better to have some padding on your body than to be stick thin because of the greater nutritional resources you will have to draw on. BTW, one of the most wonderful movies I've ever watched is called "Shirley Valentine," about a British woman whose children (a boy and a girl) are grown and whose husband has forgotten what a wonderful woman he married. Watch it for the fantastic scene about stretch marks, if nothing else ... In any case, your layout is very lovely, from the lavender colors to the precious clusters, but most of all because of your sensitive and insightful journaling. Hang in there ... Life gets a whole lot better after 60! LOL!

Oh my ... what a truly stunning page and heartfelt journaling!! You are a very beautiful woman and the photo is proof of that!!

Amazing page Kim. I love your journaling. This issue speaks to many of us I'm sure. I really love your clusters and of course that amazing photo of you

Gorgeous page, photo and overall design!!>And good for you, seeing past what WE see in the mirror

This is beautiful! I love the kit you chose, the top cluster, and the flow of your journaling. Well done! PS You are beautiful!

love the soft and delicate feel of your layout. Such a beautiful photo and the journaling is very heart felt. The colors are perfect--the soft pinks and black and white go beautifully with your story and photo too.

An awesome page and you poured your very inner thoughts onto it. This photo is stunning and how you scrapped it is awesome as well. A fabulous page design- Love the colors too.

So very beautiful! We should strive to see ourselves so beautifully as your photo is.

A struggle we can all relate to. Oh how I wish we would all learn to reverse the trend of self image hate. I think we are on the way but it will take time to really catch hold. Your layout is gorgeous. I love the directional flow and the soft colors.

Stunning photo and a perfect kit and journaling! You go girl!

I love the colors you used and the outline font! So perfect for this layout. The curved text filling is fabulous. I think we all struggle with self-esteem to some extent and I'm so glad you found a solution that helped you.

Oh dear Kim, I can so relate your feelings! I really struggle with this too! Love that photos, the soft colors and your curved text!

omg, your journaling gave me goosebumps! I've always suffered from low self esteem, so I can relate. Your layout is absolutely gorgeous! From the colors you used to the ribbons behind the photo and your beautiful clustering. I LOVE this layout!
