We begin.
But beginning isn’t as simple as it might sound.
Beginning is an ending too.
To begin we need to let go, to trust, to hear the fear and take a step anyway.
To begin we need to lay down the stories of we think we might be, if only for a moment, and create space for what could be.
To begin a self-portrait journey, that is a courageous act.
To say:
I’m worthy of seeing myself with kindness.
I’m worthy of a new story.
I’m worthy of being in the visual story of my own life.
I’m worthy of making space for self-love.
I’m worthy of not hiding anymore.
So lets begin. But lets not do it alone. Lets pick up the camera, knowing that there will be folks around the world doing the same thing on the same day and then we will gather together in a collective space and share our brave acts of self-love. We might even be surprised that we won’t compare ourselves to the other folks there as the energy of the space is so beautiful and brave and we might just realize this isn’t a journey of perfection. It isn’t about getting the perfect picture.
It is about showing up for ourselves in our own lives.
It is about the slow meandering path to looking in a photo and not being filled with negative thoughts (most that aren’t our own) and instead looking in our own eyes, with kindness and saying:
“I see you”.
