Hand over Heart Challenge

Ok so we have heard of this belly button challenge right? If you can reach your belly button with your hand then you are thin enough....

Well..... I am NOT thin enough lol! Nor do I want to be that thin. I'm pretty happy with my strong core and my ability to out plank most. But power to those who like to be that thin and can reach their own belly buttons, I'd have to dislocate my own shoulder and I'm sure some people are so desperate to reach their belly buttons they actually might.

Now there's the collar bone challenge to prove you're thin enough... you place a stack of quarters in your collar bone and if they sit there you're thin enough.......ENOUGH!

My challenge to you is the #handoverheart challenge.
If you can put your hand over your heart and feel it beating, congratulations. You have a heart.
One thing we lose sight of is having a heart. Being kind to one another. Being kind to ourselves.
So let's remind the world that we have a  heart.

In a world full of Kardashian's and gossip magazines we lose sight of what is really important. Have you heard of the human element? Probably not. No one really talks about it. Not anymore. It's not important. What's important is how many likes we can get on Facebook, how many strangers love our selfies on instagram. How many retweets we can get. This is so important to us retweet was actually added to the dictionary!
My personal Facebook page has 154 people on it. I am happy with that number. I can say that I talk to  a majority of my 'friends' at least once a year. I use my Facebook to keep up with family and keep in touch with friends that have moved away.
I get requests from people I don't know, well not so much now that I have my profile picture set to me and my husband lol. I don't accept requests from people I don't know.
Also, if you won't say hello to me when I see you in the supermarket make sure you're not sending me a friend request. My friends list is for just that... friends.
How many people can say the same? I know Facebook, twitter, instagram, etc. is not going to make me famous but I also wouldn't want to be.
Look at all these celebrities trying to portray somebody. Trying to capture all they are in a selfie or a tweet.  I'm have a guilty confession, I read the comments on pictures. They are so mean. Or so doting.  Mostly mean.  All these people are either obsessed with love or obsessed with hatred.
It has got to be exhausting to try to be the person everyone loves or hates.
So rather than try to prove we are skinny enough, or pretty enough, or tough enough... let's just show we have a heart.

Let's see your selfies... tweet it, instagram it, Facebook it, delete it, do it for yourself. Let's show the world we still have a heart. Now trending! #handoverheart
