I have curly hair, a big, bold smile, I have the ability to run and swim and dance and hold hands.

Thanks Beckie...funny, you finished off your post with my mantra of late - I have been most definitely working on being knider/gentler with myself - a big lesson for me! Appreciate the kind words :-)

You love what you care for and you care for what you love. I love my whole body.

Regard that vein as a badge of honor. Did you know that in some societies any physical sign that indicate a woman has given birth to children increases her allure to men.
Fertility = hotness

I love my Pre-Raphaelite/Roman nose. It's taken years (and a lot of self-portrait drawing exercises) to realize that the signature bump on the bridge of my nose is one of my favourite features. (along with my crazy-loud-cackle laugh, they're two things I've grown to love about what makes me ME!)

I love my large hands with their long, expressive, "artist's" fingers. (All the better to hand-talk with, my dear! And of course, to draw, rub, hold, grasp, turn, make stuff and weave up a storm... with the strongest grip and the gentlest touch)

One of the best compliments I've ever received was from an older gentleman who told me I had "a nicely turned ankle" while I was wearing tightly-laced combat boots with flames on them. I had never even contemplated my ankles before that, but now I'm pretty pleased with them.

I agree with Jennifer about big bangles. Think proportion, big jewelry and fabulous over sized bags, you can carry it.

As a feminine, I always wanted to look... well, feminine. I used to see girls with delicate figures and features and soft, fine, smooth hair and wish that I had that pixie look. I remember seeing soft wavy hair and wishing my hair could look like that. I felt so big and clumsy in comparison. Tall, with thick, wiry black hair and strong features. Big lips, a button nose, a wide face and height. Olive skin. I felt like a giant compared to those girls. I was never delicate. I'm starting to realise that, as pretty as my pixie friends are, I'm a woman. Standing tall and strong can be as woman as any petite frame. I'm a tall girl, and it suits me. My thick black hair suits me. I wouldn't want another person's body. It'd just lie about me.

Its funny, but my surname translates as meaning "Tall, lofty". My Grandmother remarried to a man whose name is translated to mean the highest point on a mountain. He's unusually tall, especially considering his racial background. So are my relatives. I'm tall, too. Its a wonderful coincidence, really.

I love my smile. I think that's why I love the website: www.yearbookyourself.com. It's so fun to put my smiley face on those wigs. See if you can view this: http://www.new.facebook.com/album.php?aid=15891.... They're hilarious!

I now also love the color of my skin. I used to hate it because I'm a dark Filipina (dark skin is not prized in the Motherland to this day). But I now love being honey-beige/melon/copper brown.

Curves I love of my body: my collar-bone, that gentle curve under my small'ish breasts, and the curve of my waist and hips when I'm lying on my side.

Oh and the other thing I have just begun to learn is women who occupy space by virtue of height and personality or what ever need to let their instincts and womens wisdom guide the colors they wear.

The "rules" are crap as far as we are concerned (The ones that talk about how to dress in the workplace and what colors to wear). I am discovering that pink is a power color for me. I only wear colors that really suit my coloring. So Ginger, you may like to consider your own rules about colors that draw people to you ( always have a shade that suits your skin tone)

Wow.. yes, I have seen What The Bleep and it had a powerful impact. I love all the references here and plan to check them out. I want to become a powerful manifester - who knew it only takes a few positive words in the right direction. The answers to life are always so much simpler than we know. I love that.

I love the idea of accentuating what you love instead of "hiding" what you don't love.

I am so glad you are finding peace with your body. Life it too short not to love yourself.

My heart goes out to you. I think the childbearing years might be as difficult for some women to make peace with their bodies as the teen years. I would never judge a book by its cover. I just had lunch with 1,400 women at a fund-raiser. That's a lot of estrogen. You know what? I couldn't tell you who was overweight or underweight. I could tell you that Susie or Nancy or Joan said the smartest or wittiest or kindest thing. I think most people are innately kind. Be kind to yourself, too. :)
