Selfies. Is that even a word? I'm sure Mr. Webster would say no, but the Urban Dictionary is sure to have a nice definition.
Do you have days you just feel pretty? Or you just feel like you are confident. If you're like me, most days I feel far from pretty, much less confident. Most days I feel just "thrown together", a weak attempt to look decent enough to be seen in public. Ask my kids, when at home, I'm in what they call my "uniform", one of Brian's oversized tees and underwear, yep, that's it! Oh, any my slippers.
So, I decided I'd start taking a selfie on those rare days I felt pretty, or if not pretty, at least "put together". I think it's funny. I think it's fun. I think it does capture the confidence on those rare days! Try it! You can delete them you know! (Believe me, I've deleted plenty!) I even started sending a few to Brian. He loved them. Now he even says, "where's my selfie for the day?". Here's a few of those days I felt confident enough to capture myself! 📸
Selfies. On the days I felt sassy, pretty, put together, or even just presentable! I've always looked in the mirror and just saw the flaws. Doing these selfies has made me realize although I'm not perfect, definitely not a beauty queen, I am Enough! Enough confident, enough pretty, enough because this is who God made me!
And, I've decided I'm also "enough" on those days I'd dare not take a selfie! Learning to love yourself can be a liberating thing!
So, take those Selfies! Don't be ashamed!
