I cannot thank you all enough for the overwhelming response from my post about my abs. Holy cow. It was kind of a love fest that was so strong it had me buzzing until 1AM.
Thank you for that, now I’m really tired.
I kid, I kid.
Seriously though, I cannot say thank you enough for the overwhelming support I felt by sharing my “keeping it real” story with you all.
To be honest, sometimes I look at the amazing fashion and lifestyle bloggers (and friends) who have dozens -or hundreds- of comments and hundreds of thousands of readers and I wish, just a little bit, that I could be like them. That I could put together amazing posts about home trends, color inspiration, and what’s hot at Fashion Week.
But as my lady, Joyce, always says, “I don’t have a dessert ministry. I’m more of the meat and potatoes.”
So though I’d love to share with you some amazingly curated posts like the ones I see and devour myself on a regular basis, I know that’s not my purpose here on earth. And then I quietly go back to writing about intentions, my life (and the not-so-great-parts too), and how to move past clutter.
It doesn’t get the same fan fare as the beautiful blogs I enjoy so much, but it is simply what I’m meant to do.
So thank you for yesterday’s kindness. It made me feel a little bit like a princess.
… A princess that is told she is beautiful for sharing a crappy photo of herself on her blog.
Just as you are looking at those successful fashion/lifestyle bloggers with all their comments and readers, lots of us look at your blog and business and think the same things… myself included! Keep up the good work!
I totally 100% agree with Melissa!
It really was such a good post. And as someone who did have an actual eating disorder, I know the internal battle about weight is a hard one. Thanks for your post!
I still think the black bikini is hot…
I have to say, as a style/fashion blogger myself, that I find your site WAY more inspiring than many of those you’re referring to. 🙂 Keep ’em coming!
You sure are beautiful, kick ass and special 🙂 Inside and out. xo
Oh, I love that abs post! It’s just more evidence of what a genuine person you are and how you are committed to your purpose to help others. You are a great friend to all, Jess!
Thank you all so much! I cherish your support as I share the good and not-so-good parts of my life. : )
