As usual, I have been lacking in the blogging department. My apologies.
To be honest, I've been in a rut. I've felt alienated from the internet and blogging, and needed some time. I've also been battling a slight case of the glums thanks to the season change.
All of us on our journey of self-acceptance and love will experience the occasional bumps and potholes- this is something I've come to accept, because it is okay, and natural. These last few weeks, I've been feeling frumpy and crappy, and have been living in yoga pants. I've been doing heaps of thinking, and coming to terms with past demons. This time has been both heart wrenching and fruitful.
Today was the first day in a week I put myself together. Nothing gets me out of my rut like wiggling into a snazzy outfit. I was sure to pin on my Definatalie "FAT" necklace, that I converted into a brooch. This piece of jewelry is powerful and sacred for me. Reclaiming the word people have tried to cut me down with over the years is one of the biggest steps I have made on my journey to self-love.
"FAT" for me is a wonderful and neutral adjective. To use it and identify with it makes me feel empowered and invigorated. Those who use the word with negative connotations only show their own ignorance and insecurity ; two things that are highly contagious that I refuse to catch.
So, my darling bunnies, what words do YOU find empowering? What small rituals do you partake in when you are feeling glum?
Yours always in sassy fatness,
xo Lenora
