Strength, beauty, courage

There’s this ad we’ve seen on repeat that shows a perfectly fit, perfectly sculpted woman exercising... and I always wonder what my girls are thinking as they watch it. Because many women won’t look like that.... won’t spend the time exercising to look like that... etc

My body that is creating a 7th baby certainly looks nothing like that woman in the ad... my leg and foot are covered in blue swollen veins, my belly is big and moving is awkward not some fluid motion on an elliptical. Yet no less strong, no less beautiful.

I want my daughters - of whom I have 5!!-to know that Strength, beauty, courage, can take so many forms. 💪🏻 🙌🏻❤️
