“These 17 Empowering Swimsuit Pics Prove There Is No One Bikini Body”
Instead of thinking the worst about yourself and your body, let your bikini be a symbol of strength, acceptance, and beauty, celebrating the unique shape, curves, and imperfections that make you shine.
“I did not give up”
I love this photo and feel happy because it reminds me that I did not give up. This was after I had sold my car, quit my job, and rented out my condo to go on an 18-month trip with my husband. On the trip, I chose to leave my marriage and return to the states; I felt I had nothing and I was so lost. It took time for me to realize that I had the most important things my life: my health and the chance to begin again. I am happy in this body. This is what 50 looks like.” —Lisa Niver, Travel Writer, We Said Go Travel
