Giving Thanks For Small Victories
<p>Some time ago, I wrote <a href="https://medium.com/illuminations-mirror/my-promise-to-my-daughters-44e0fdc699de" rel="noopener">this piece</a> on wanting my daughters to grow up with a stronger, healthier body image than I did. It’s the closest I’ve ever come to having my writing go viral.</p>
<p>That made me happy, because of course as a writer I want people to see my work, but it was more than that. It made me happy because my words seemed to resonate with people who, like me, were raised in an environment of normalized diet culture and body shaming and believing that <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/Cx8RHEeo5RQ/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">speaking to women like this</a> was okay. People who realized, as I did, that we have a moral imperative to do better by the next generation.</p>
