Celebrate the Gift YOU ARE...

If I'm going to Celebrate the Gift I AM

why am I using an image of Rose

that is flawed and not perfect?

So much of me was saying don't use

this picture... its not perfect!!

Why do I resist seeing markings
on a flower?

Our whole culture goes overboard

with adds and images

 that show flawless skin

and eternal youth.

 

Is the gift of Me truly dependent on

being flawless??
Just what is a flaw
and why am I
so resistant to flaws? 

Is Rose any less a Rose because of

her visible markings?

If I am only able to see myself

as Gift

when I am without markings..

I will never willingly

and joyfully

see

and delight in

the Gift

of Me!!

 I will be forever driven

by the need

to be flawless..

and that very drive..

will close my eyes

and my heart

to

The Gift I truly am!!

 

Beginning

Today

I choose

to see

Differently...

I choose

to honor and celebrate

the Gift

of

Who I AM..

with all of my markings

quirks

and so called
flaws.

I give thanks for my

uniqueness..

I celebrate

my differences

as they

bring

a wonderful sense

of

beauty in diversity,

and most of all

a true

Authenticity

and

Genuineness!
 

Thank you Rose..

for showing me

the very real Gift
of you
and
Me!!
