Medha, I just LOVE your new blogs & comics soooooooooo very very very very much. SO MUCH! (am I making myself clear?) Favorite panel? Many contenders but the prize goes to you as a dinosaur with tiny & impractical arms. BWAHHHAHAHAHA! I just LOVE how your blog makes me laugh out loud, feel & empathize with the trials & pain you experience, and understand your beautiful and inspirational journey of growth & transformation. Bravo!! Yes, the book too! The book! You know I'll be the 1st to pre-order it. :)))
Another gorgeous post, Medha, i literally couldn't wait to devour - ehm - read it all the way to the end! 😁
I loved it this week, especially cause it reminded me of something i regularly do. A really wise friend of mine suggested i try something every morning - to take 15mins and go through every part of my body, caressing it and saying, "I love you! Thank you for being with me".
It's amazing the difference it's made in my life.
Thanks so much for another entertaining post - and yeah, a book sounds like a splendid idea! 😉
Love love love the art you are sharing and think it would make such an amazing book. My favorite picture was the wrong way go back - if only we could see the signs when they first appear...rather than waiting to get to the point where it is smashing us over the head.
I'm currently reading Demon Copperfield - which is a great read...fiction but it is a bit dark but super well written.
I’ve been trying to fix myself for most of my life. It wasn’t until I had a stroke and lost the use of my left side that I learned to thank my body for the simple everyday things and the gift of another day
How do I get to the mini course? The link resolved to an error message. Although I’ve already commented, I wanted to thank you for this post You have articulated feelings I have harbored for most of my life.
I just got caught up on your latest articles and I sooo enjoyed each of them. Thank you. Keep it up. The words and pictures complement each other perfectly.
This article was written for me - I have become very self-critical recently. My favorite frame is "My spiritual and and personal growth were/are fueled by the same self-rejection and self-criticism that I apply to my body." My 84 -year- old body and self have served me well - all of me deserves that apology - actually.
One of my favorite poems that I wrote deals with the loss of self esteem from self criticism:
"AT THIS TIME"
My self esteem was lost, but I win
By not listening to self criticism.
I then speak to myself,
To remind myself to remind my mind,
"The past isn't present at this time."
Taking me outside of me,
To where gratitude and humility,
Reside inside of me,
The present is presented at this time.

Such important words, Medha, so beautifully expressed and illustrated.
I'm having a really hard time with my body right now. And I'm sad that I don't get to eat ice cream.
But hey, I'm here, I'm reading, I'm writing, I'm cooking food that I CAN have, I'm spending time with people important to me, and I AM OKAY.
Great post. Thank you so, so much. ♥️

Oh and I also loved Wednesday.

Well this made me tear up and gave me a lot to think about with my own body issues. ❤️ I'm reading The Bear and the Nightingale!
