Books by Nicole C Ayers

Dear Reader,Learning to love my body has been a journey. I didn’t want to live in her, much less learn to love her. In this collection of personal essays, I dig into the complex relationship I have with parts of my body by writing love letters to them.My imperfections are always more beautiful than hiding behind a veneer.Your softness, your fullness, your capacity for creation fills me with awe.Even though our stories and experiences are different, I bet you’ll catch glimpses of yourself here. My hope is that reading these letters will make you curious about your own relationship with your body. And if after reading and reflecting on your own body, you’re a smidge closer to accepting your body just as it is, know that I’m cheering so loudly for you.Love,Nicole C. Ayers

Our bodies are magic makers. Our constant companions. Our wise teachers. But all too often we malign their size, their shape, their ability, their appearance, their texture. We berate and bully our bodies because they don't fit into someone else's narrow box of beauty expectations.
