She stares at her reflection in a glossy window. Not looking for imperfections, no. Rather, seeking the beauty of her aura. She has a particular glow. What color is it now? A light pink shimmer expanding around her being. Self- acceptance. Radical. True. Deep. She looks and sees herself with confidence. The woman in the window is unmistakably beautiful and full of life. She knows now that this reflection isn’t lying. It’s telling her, in all vulnerability, that she finally is embracing her true self. She thanks her reflection wholeheartedly for showing her this truth. She turns away from the window filled with a feeling of self-love, walking with her head held high, and a smile so bright it could light up a room. She is free. -Kelly J.
