😂 An Ode to My Achy, Irritable Temple 💔
Happy Monday, Mystic Hearts! ☕ Time for a moment of appreciation for the absolute workhorse that is my body ~ bless its stupidly strong, yet fundamentally broken heart. 😂
This painting, "Weathering the Storm," is my tribute to the complex machine I operate daily.
Right now, it's hosting a full-on summit: The ever-dramatic Hashimoto's Thyroiditis 🎭 The hormonal rollercoaster of peri-menopause 🎢 The newly discovered, as-yet-to-be-named additional Autoimmune Co-host 👯♀️
My body is basically a temple that currently needs extreme renovations, is achy all over, and is definitely irritable. ✨ But you know what? This rusty bucket keeps on going. I love my body and I am grateful for the bits that work great and the bits that are trying! Haha.
This portrait is a representation of my health journey. The green hair? 🌿 A symbol of growth and vitality. The butterflies? 🦋 Beauty and strength in transformation. 💘 My art is how I salute this magnificent, annoying, persevering vessel.
To all my fellow warriors dealing with complex, multi-layered body chaos: I salute you! Your body is doing the absolute most, even when it feels like the absolute least.
✨ Let’s Be Real & Laugh ✨
What is the most ridiculous or annoying thing your "temple" is doing today? Let's give our complicated bodies the exasperated praise they deserve! 👇
