This is a mantra for all the women who question their worth daily. For all the women who have had their hearts ripped to shreds by men who hardly even think of them. For women who look in the mirror and are greeted by cheerful dimples of cellulite. For the women whose supposed best friend drove a knife straight through their backs. And most importantly for the women who are down on themselves in some facet of life and desperately need uplifting.
Now repeat after me:
Now repeat after me:
"I may not be the most beautiful or the sexiest, nor do I have the perfect body. I might not be everyone's first choice, but I'm a great choice. I don't pretend to be someone I'm not, because I'm too good at being me. I might not be proud of some of the things I've done in the past, but I'm proud of who I am today. Take me as I am or watch me as I walk away!"
As soon as I read this I had a bit of a spiritual awakening in terms of my womanhood. A warm glow appeared in my heart and I felt stronger about myself than I had five minutes ago. I read it again and smiled. After a third time I wanted to jump up and exclaim "I am woman! Hear me roar!".
I've taken this statement and embodied it. This quote raises my chin up high and puts a song in my heart. It makes me feel alive and like the queen that is inside of all of us.

I pride myself on treating the woman I love the way she should be treated, so let me comment on this as if I were talking to her:
You are the most beautiful and the sexiest and have the perfect body. You are the first choice and the last choice and a great choice. You should be proud of all your choices, even if they were the wrong choices, because they made you who you are proud to be today. I will always take you as you are, because I will never want to watch you walk away. All these things are the reasons and more of why I will love you every day.
