So, here I am. Months after my initial fall. And I am busy every day LOVING my body through its process of healing. Some days that means holding the space for the little girl in me to be sad or frustrated or even afraid. My life has changed, and I cannot know what that will mean tomorrow – or even a few years down the road. What I CAN know, however, is that I am willing to create enough self-love and self-care every day to love my body and honor it – even through limited mobility, or pain, or discord. My body is my HOME, and I love it no matter what. For today, that means that I am willing to embrace physical therapy to be as STRONG as I can and to create an energy of healing all around me.
What I have learned louder than anything, is that my body needs to move for my emotional well being. I am naturally a vibrant and happy woman – I have done a TON of inner work to be able to say that with conviction – and exercise makes me even happier. I KNOW that I will always create a life with movement and exercise – whatever that may mean at the time. Right now, it may mean swimming instead of aerobics, and when I’m eighty, it may mean chasing my partner down the hall in my walker. But whatever it is as each day unfolds, movement makes my life richer, and for that I am grateful. I will get back there, and patience is key. Thank you God and body for allowing me to practice patience. How are you being patient with your body today?

About Me
- Body Image Mastery, Laura Fenamore
- I became a leader on the transformational movement because I believe that anything is possible, that no matter how trapped or powerless a person might feel, it is what they do, that will set them free. I believe that each of us has the right to a radical life shift every single day. My own began when I understood that the only person who could truly love me was me. Although I was neglected and abused as a child, I saw clearly that I could use the rest of my life to love and take care of myself – and to inspire others to do the same.
I am not saying that other people cannot love us, they often do. I am simply observing that a person without self love is like a hidden treasure. You cannot see or feel the miracle you are, even when others adore you or want the best for you. Who you are is locked away in some Tower or buried under years of pain and self loathing.
If you’re ready for a Radical Shift – more than ready – reach out to me at 415-464-1234 or laura@laurafenamore.com and we can talk about where to find one and how to open your arms wide for the possibilities and hope locked inside you. Those bars that imprison you are, after all, only an illusion.
