The Body: Our First Love Relationship
01 May 2025
POSTED IN: Authentic Feminine, Being, Embodied Living
When my grandsons were born, I watched their eyes track their tiny hands in wonder. They weren’t trying to understand their bodies. They were receiving the miracle.
And I found myself asking:
When did I stop looking at myself like that?
Our first love relationship is with our body.
And for most of us, over time, that relationship becomes complicated.
Criticism replaces awe.
Shame replaces reverence.
Control replaces trust.
This month on my Ignite Your Magic Substack, I’m exploring a radical reframe:
What if your body isn’t a problem to fix… but a sacred relationship to tend?
In the first full post, I reflect on how spiritual traditions often treat the body as baggage—but what if it’s the ticket? The way Love learns to dance in form?
“Love is a living, breathing essence…
that the wise can mold into something beautiful.” – Sydney Banks
Your body is not separate from that wisdom. It is that wisdom, sculpted in motion.

Untethered
I wanted to live in my body. I wanted to live undisturbed by judgment. I wanted to live, untethered.
Look for the Helpers
Some words of wisdom from the gentle Mr. Fred Rogers of the beloved Mr. Roger’s Neighborhood television show, however, often lift my awareness away from gloom and doom.
