A new show on the OWN network started and I recorded it. Not sure what to expect, I watched it during lunch yesterday and was really taken back. It’s a documentary/reality show following Sarah Ferguson, The Dutchess of York.
It was very interesting, and a little hard to watch. The show chronicles the ups and downs she has been through, most recently her accepting money to give info on her ex-husband, and Dr. Phil and Suze Orman are working with her.
This woman, who was the focus of a royal wedding, in the public eye, two beautiful daughters, Lady Diana’s best friend, can’t even look in the mirror at herself because she has no sense of self worth. I can identify all too well with the way she feels.
I know within my heart that God loves me exactly as I am and that I should do the same. But so often, that inner, ugly self talk will get you into trouble.
When she was meeting with Suze Orman, Suze said “I am in love with myself!” Now that is amazing. It is a lesson we should all take to heart. We need to be “in love with ourselves.” God intended for us to be as we are. I’m not saying we should give up in our quest to be healthy and take care of ourselves, but despite where we are in our journey, we need to give ourselves a little grace, look in the mirror and say “Ta-Da”!
