The Full Length Mirror
I attended stepping into His image in the Fall of 2016. At the completion of my siHi journey, I came to realize a few things about myself. For many years I had avoided having my picture taken and steered clear of looking at myself in a mirror. This wasn’t even a conscious decision; it was just how I lived. Attending siHi unknowingly unlocked a door within me that I didn’t even realize was there.
siHi reminded me that I am a child of God and He loves me just as I am. That is not to say that I don’t continue to struggle with body image, because I do. I am female after all, but my home is now decorated with mirrors in every room, including a full length mirror in the dining area. I also now love to be in photos.
But I have learned to be honest with myself and I try to not appear the way I think people would want me to look in a picture. It is now rare for me to have a photo taken where I am not smiling! I also felt God strongly telling me to move on with my life and proceed with my divorce after having been separated for 6 years. Life is a joyous occasion and siHi has been a positive step in this realization.”
