Another Year

Tomorrow marks one year since I moved back to Minneapolis from Iowa. 
(Read about my Iowa experience here: http://www.jackieamart.blogspot.com/2014/03/1-year.html  )   

Strange thinking I've been back a year already.  I've taken many steps back in life but have managed to keep moving forward. I may not be where I want to be yet, but each new day is a day I am thankful to be alive! My new mission is that of self love. Whether it be doing more things I enjoy, giving myself permission to rest and relax, spending time with family and friends, or loving and accepting my body as it is. Every day is a chance to inspire and encourage others to do the same!

I've had so much shame and guilt over the years and worried about what others thought of me.   Now I'm pretty fearless and it feels GREAT! Wednesday night I modeled for my friend's photography workshop.  Here is one of the photos. FIERCE. WARRIOR. STRONG. PROUD. CONFIDENT. This is me, taking back my life again!
