Happy July 2022!
How are we half way through 2022? It seems the days go faster and faster.
This month I’m gonna talk about stepping out of your comfort zone and challenging yourself. We face challenges of all kinds that help us to grow as individuals, married couples and through parenting. But when was the last time you challenged yourself to do something that made you uncomfortable?
Public speaking, forgiving someone that hurt you, telling others about your faith, skydiving, or attending social functions can put your body in a fight or flight situation. Anxiety, uncertainty and frustration run through my mind and stop me dead in my tracks when faced with an uncomfortable task or challenge. Ronnie has been a huge influence and full of encouragement when this happens to me. Writing a monthly blog for Inspirations for the Soul was something that scared me, but in a positive way. I am not a writer and have never been one. Throughout life we will always struggle with limiting beliefs, comparison and other darts the enemy shoots our way.
For those that are unaware, Ronnie Vincent Photography is a company that we started to fulfill Ronnie’s passion for the art of photography. Ronnie and I have collaborated in his passion for photography and my passion of self love to create a new photography session called “Glamour and Lace.” These sessions are private intimate photo shoots designed to empower women. They are the Lite Beer of Boudoir Photography Sessions. Stay with me…I have a point.
When we look in the mirror we instantly see our flaws and imperfections. Have you ever asked someone to describe your looks and personality? I encourage you to do this because I guarantee, you look different to others than you see yourself. In a vain world of feeling inadequate and not measuring up…beauty is in the eye of the beholder. So why do we put pressure on ourselves to be something that isn’t realistic? Why do we not give ourselves the same grace as God gives us?
A Glamour & Lace photo session is an empowering way for you to embrace the beauty that is special and unique to you. When I had my first G & L Photo Session I was not excited and felt emotionally vulnerable. I remember thinking I am pasty white, need to lose 25 lbs., work on my 20 extra chins, blah blah blah... but then realized, hold up wait a minute…no- I was made in God's image and he doesn’t make mistakes. I told Ronnie I did not want to see any pictures until they were edited and finished in the manner that he creates his art but, the feelings I had when I viewed the final product was Wow- Do I really look like that?
Whether you are interested in a photo session or want to bungee jump…I say do it….life is short…give yourself grace, love yourself and embrace the beauty God gave you!
