Body Image: What's the First Thing You See When You Look in the Mirror?

"The first thing I see is a woman and body in transition. After tackling some of my inner demons—yes, self-esteem experts have demons too!—I began taking care of my body in ways I haven't before. Eating intuitively, exercising more creatively and more frequently, so I take time now to notice the small changes in my body. The muscles in my shoulders coming to life, the clearness of my skin and, of course, the twinkle in my eye that comes from taking loving action on my own behalf. I see a very sexy, sacred and self-loving woman who's always on a journey."
