I created Mugs with the images from the quilts I made of ladies in the nude. My intentions were to inspire women to love and accept the body they are living in.
To be content with the wonder it is.
There truly isn't a perfect body.
That is a myth.
In fact the word perfect should be a swear or banned from our language.
Embracing and loving what we have defined as imperfection, IS where we will drop the need for wanting a body that looks different from the one we have.
I want the message of the mugs to inspire embracing your imperfections.
On this blog, my tag line is "I M Perfect and It is impossible not to be."
I know that the moment my imperfections flooded my life, it made them become lovable.
This may seem counter intuitive but, when you are left with bold imperfections, ones that you can't discard or positive think over, you have to embrace them.
Accepting that my past can't be any different, allowed me to accept me.
The abused me.
The me that wasn't worthy of all that comes with abuse.
I had to not just let her ride along in the backseat.
I had to become bold and courageous with my wounds showing.
To walk naked among the many who strive for perfection.
Perhaps these nude ladies are bringing me full circle to the moment I discovered that I was without any of the usual pillars we hide behind.
The family, religion and even who I was, were all down.
I was naked as a new born, in a grown woman's body, who in itself was perfect in its imperfections.
So, I will look at finding words to go with my naked ladies.
Ladies who are bold and courageous living and loving their imperfections.
Knowing that perfect is a false planet, no one inhabits.
While the land of imperfect is filled with wild, wonderful, adventurous, daring women, who refuse to seek perfection in anything.
We rock imperfection in a way that makes life full of loving.
We love ourselves just as we are.
Naked rolls of imperfections!
We know that our body is the vehicle for joy and is strong enough to handle all of life's sorrows. It is an incredible unique work of art, and we don't match anyone else!
We were born to be perfectly perfect, just the way we are!
