 Here's a book recommendation fromDr. Mary!
"Everyone craves something, be it a new pair of shoes, a piece of chocolate, popularity, or even for one glance from that cute guy in English. In fact, we were designed to crave things—just not earthly things.In this teen adaptation of Lysa TerKeurst’s Made To Crave, you’ll discover how to direct your craving toward God, where you’ll find lasting satisfaction and understand how our heavenly and earthly cravings can live in better harmony. |

A Woman’s Life Journey of Body
Acceptance Part Three:Moving into Body
Acceptance for Women
 For women,
body image issues can continue to dominate our acceptance of self through out
the college and adult years, ranging from focus on parts of our body we do not
like to ways that we feel in our body movement.
A woman’s journey of body acceptance takes many twists and turns as we
go into childbearing years, our mid life and as we age into our sliver years. I have found, like the writer of the Real
Simple article, that my journey as been similar in accepting this bigger built,
less coordinated body of mine! |

A Woman’s Life Journey of Body
Acceptance Part 2 of 3: Teen Women Body Blues The teen
years present a mix of fears related to body image for girls. This is magnified
with normal insecurities regarding self-acceptance. Mixed messages are present from society’s
view of what is beauty. Girls are transforming into women as their bodies
develop at different paces, sizes and shapes.
One memory
that stands out to me in my body image journey as a teen was the way I felt
around my petite friends. |

A Woman’s Life Journey of Body
Acceptance Please join
us for our three part blog series on Women and Body Acceptance. Learn about strategies and resources to
support healthy body image in women.
Part 1 of 3: Beginning of Beauty or
Beast?
 I came
across a wonderful article in the March 2012 Real Simple magazine about a
women’s journey in resolving her body image and recognizing her beauty (check
it out; see resource below). It got me thinking about our individual paths of
body acceptance as women throughout the life span. |

 “Twas the night
before Christmas, when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that St Nicholas soon would be there.
The children were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads.
And mamma in her ‘kerchief, and I in my cap,
Had just settled our brains for a long winter’s nap.
When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter…. |

 Nature is a
wonderful teacher if we will take the time to watch and learn. It is God’s way of showing us how life has
similarities in all living beings.
If you ever
have had the sheer pleasure of watching brilliant bluebirds in your backyard,
you have probably noticed some unique behaviors regarding their nesting boxes
at different seasons of the year.
Today the
bluebird provided an illustration of how we, as mothers, grieve the past seasons
of life, especially the years of childrearing. |

Recently
I experienced an emotional overload that came upon me unexpectedly! I actually was not aware that I was carrying
around such a load of tears until I went to visit my precious grand-niece, who
is my sister’s name sake. My sister had
passed away in April of 2009, after a swift tumultuous bout with ovarian
cancer. My grand-niece was born two
years later, almost to the date of my sister’s passing. |
