“Your swimsuit does NOT define you.” Hey MAMA. Listen up. You know that tummy you are trying to hide? It has stretched and grown life.
Those thighs that have long lost their gap? Gave you the strength to carry that precious life for 9 months & literally walk with life hanging on your hips.
You are a mother. You are beautiful. Don’t wear that in shame this summer. ☀️ PUT THAT SWIM SUIT ON.
I read this recently and I think it explains this all PERFECTLY. “ I refuse to miss my children’s high-pitched, pool-induced giggles because of my insecurities.
I refuse to let other women’s judging eyes at the pool prevent me from exposing their eyes to the wonder the sun glittering on the water.
I refuse to let my self-image influence my children’s.
I refuse to sacrifice memories with my children because of “that tummy”. Because at the end of the day, it is not just about me. It is about my kids.” I want my boys to remember dancing and splashing in the water with their mom.
I want them to remember all the fun we had building sand castles in the sun.
I want them to remember that their mom was there. ⭐️ Today, I hope you are encouraged to push your insecurities aside. Put on your bathing suit. Run through the sprinkler. Have fun.
Your children will remember THOSE moments – not how you looked in your swim suit. ⭐️

There is a saying about not hiding your light under a bushel, and during Pride month, it's something to take to heart. For me, that's being unabashedly who I am, and not giving a fig what others think.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Now, I'm not saying I'm a gay rainbow dinosaur, but I do identify with LGBTQ+ community, my favorite color is the rainbow, and I do occasionally feel out of touch with modernity. Though let's be honest, who doesn't? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I love the times we live in, however, because it's becoming easier to be ourselves. Not perfect, but raindrops quickly become a flood. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I hope you're able to be yourself, now and always, unless you can be a rainbow stegosaurus. And if you get that chance, I honestly do expect you to choose to be the rainbow dinosaur instead.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

ps. Just out of curiosity, what's your favorite dino?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Straight facts ....even wrote a book about it called ‘I Survived the Enemy in the House’ it’s available NOW on Amazon.com, Barnes and Noble online at bn.com, as well as Kindle.......anyone reading this please know when YOU expose it and refuse to be ashamed of what God allowed you to survive, forgiven you for, and brought you through; then you take away the power THEY thought they had. Revelations 12:11 ESV reads “And they have conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, for they loved not their lives even unto death.”
All glory to God, be not ashamed, shaken, or consumed by what THEY say! #pickupyourcrown #beencouraged #befree #beunashamed #unashamedofmystory #unashamedofHisname #itwasGod #itsabovemenow #author #selfpublished #blackauthor #amazon #barnesandnoble #barnesandnoblebookclub #oprahsbookclub #igotatestimony
