Swimsuits

It’s summer! I was at the pool earlier today with my kids. Looking around, I noticed a variety of body types: tall, short, stocky, toothpick thin, etc. in girls and women of all ages.

Not judging, just noticing, all the beautiful and different ways humans look. It’s a crime to compare, and yet, I don’t know a single woman who isn’t critical of herself in a swimsuit.

Fortunately I’ve been on this earth enough years and have fostered a relationship with my body focused on WHAT IT CAN DO, instead of HOW IT LOOKS.

Can be very difficult in a world of constant image bombardment.

Bodies going through puberty are dynamic. One summer, someone may have a flat chest and the next, they’re having to navigate a B-cup.

It’s important not to call attention to changes or Heaven forbid poke fun at a feature.

Let’s all cultivate and champion the confident girl who throws on a swimsuit to got out and have fun SWIMMING!
