Friday Faves (with a twist)!

Hi Everyone!

Happy Friday!  Today, I am sharing my Friday Faves, but with a twist!  I’m sharing what I am currently loving at my favorite store, J. Crew, but I also want to start a chain of sharing the things that we love about ourselves.  I love the following quote SO much:

Unfortunately, we spend too much time talking about the things that we dislike about ourselves.  So, I want to challenge you to think about all of things that you LOVE about yourself.  Here are a few of the things that I love about myself (please leave a few of the things that you love about yourself in the comments):

1.  I love that I love myself.  I believe firmly that I am valuable and that I have SO many gifts and talents to share with the world.

2.  I love that I am resilient.  I never give up.  I am incredibly persistent.  I always go after what I want fiercely.  In 1994, my freshman year of undergrad, I fell down a flight of stairs backwards.  I had NO idea what was wrong with me for TWO years.  I struggled to chew food, to swallow, to walk, to take showers.  In 1996, I was diagnosed with Myasthenia Gravis (it simply means muscle weakness).  Through it all, I believed that I would always triumph, and I have!  I graduated from college with honors and I earned a Ph.D.  

3. I love that I am incredibly loyal and that I am SO committed to seeing other women thrive and succeed.  

4.  I love that I am incredibly confident.  I believe that I can accomplish anything.  I love that I am a positive person who changes the atmosphere of any room that I enter.  I love that I sprinkle joy and kindness everywhere I go!  

5.  I love my body.  I am proud to be a size 14/16!

And, here are my Friday Faves, which include tons of florals from J. Crew!:

Thanks for stopping by!
