Self-Acceptance
In accepting myself,
complete with flaws and
imperfections,
I find love
easier to give
and receive.

Beautiful for the summer, for an inspiring read from me (written from POV of an Englishman) you might like to look at my When Summer Comes Out (2013-may raise a few laughter lines reading this). I was only today thinking I might read this aloud at a local poetry festival as a seasonal piece.

If you can accept yourself warts and all, you give a lover an assuring presence. Enjoy your summer (speaking from relatively sunshine impoverished England).

Oh, you poor thing! Being stuck in that hideous body!
I'm obviously kidding, because really, where is the reason for ANY self doubt in your physical traits? (You chose a physical picture to accompany the poem).
Or maybe I'm missing the bigger picture, of internal doubt. I probably am. I'm still counting your moles and freckles. Lol. I love them. Those are our unique identifiers, where God rested his drawing hand, thinking what to add next...
Self acceptance is always the highest barrier. Get to the other side of it, and know you're awesome.

Thank you for that sweet comment. I'll think of my freckles differently now. My struggles have been more internal than external. Looking at my photo I guess I do look pretty good for a gal in her 40s:)

You are strong beautiful smart sexy woman. You look hot in that picture. Keep on writing.

It like having to many tabs open on your computer, the response is sluggish. Free up some of that memory, and everything else becomes clearer and performs faster and smoother.
From your picture, I think you've been accepted!! : )

You are one woman who has not let your life go to waste.
The way you keep on learning about yourself including being present and aware is enriching and fulfilling to me.
This woman is so evolved.
