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.

Nicole C. Ayers grew tired of hating her body. So she decided to embrace her. To honor her. To fall in love with her by writing love notes to each of her body's parts. This whimsically illustrated collection of love notes invites you to witness Nicole's love affair with her body. With gratitude, candor, and joy, Love Notes to My Body inspires you to celebrate your own body.

About the Author

Nicole C. Ayers has been playing with words as long as she can remember. While she's held many jobs in her life, including stints as a server, camp counselor, telemarketer, print-shop lackey, bartender, and teacher, editing at Ayers Edits was her favorite, because she combined her love of reading with the fun of wordplay, until she added writer to this list. Now it would be hard to convince her there's anything better than telling her own stories. Nicole is the author of "Love Notes to My Body"; "Love Letters to My Body: Writing My Way to (Self-)Love"; and "Writing Your Way to (Self-)Love: A Guided Journal to Help You Love Your Body, One Part at a Time." Nicole lives in South Carolina with her brilliant and brave daughters, her best friend and husband, a goofy dog, a long-suffering tortoise, and the occasional fish. Contact Nicole at NicoleCAyers.com and connect with her on Instagram at @nicolecayers.

Mica Gadhia was born in Columbus, Ohio, and has lived up and down the East Coast, finally landing in Charlotte, North Carolina, where she lives with her two amazing boys and three lovable cats. Art and bright colors have been a mainstay in her life from the very beginning, and this book was beautifully powerful to work on as her first full-length illustration project. Mica would love to connect with you at micasworld.com, on Facebook at @micasfunart, and on Instagram at @micasart.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous book for self love
Reviewed in the United States on February 23, 2022
This book is incredible!! The writing is fabulous, the illustrations are gorgeous, and it feels great in your hands! I have been on a self love and self acceptance journey and this brought light to the progress I’ve already made or the love still needed to give to myself. I have Nicole’s entire collection of books, and I’ve gifted them to my mom and best friend. They are gorgeous and so helpful on this journey of life. Perfect for any woman, child or teenager looking for a little more love!

5.0 out of 5 stars In tears of appreciation of the amazing gift of our bodies
Reviewed in the United States on September 14, 2021
I was in tears by page 3... and it didn't stop until every soulful, deeply (com)passionate page was flipped. I realized IMMEDIATELY how much I had taken my own body for granted, been utterly unappreciative of its tireless work to support me, protect me, and give me vitality.

This book is absolutely GORGEOUS--beautiful, colorful illustrations (Mica Gadhia), exceptional print quality, and PHENOMENAL message. This is an impactful book for all, but especially for those of us moving through the changes in our bodies with time and life's experiences.

It truly gave me new adoration for this vessel I'm housed in. I also purchased her other two books to continue this body-loving journey. THANK YOU for sharing your wisdom & experiences, Nicole.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not a typical book
Reviewed in the United States on May 1, 2020
This book falls more under the category of art than literature, in my opinion. It's best nibbled instead of devoured. The author gifts us with an intimate portrait of her body, written with an affectionate, whimsical flair.

Her body is not your body, but reading each letter to hers will have you conversing with yours. The book is written by one woman, so it's about this specific woman's body, but the illustrations open the door for all of us to get frank with ourselves in the best way possible.

My advice is to read this book somewhere sunny and by yourself, so you can sit and reflect while you enjoy the colorful, inclusive illustrations.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant! Cathartic!
Reviewed in the United States on February 27, 2020
I love, love, love this book! The concept isn't new, we're 'supposed' to love our bodies. Easier said than done, right?!?In this book, the author takes the plunge. She goes body part by body part, and literally writes love notes specific to her own personal history. It opened a door for me and demonstrated how I too could look back over my life and see how my body was there for me - or perhaps not! I found this (and the companion books, Love Letters to my Body and Writing Your Way to Self Love) eye-opening, inspiring, and deeply liberating.
--- The art work is great too!

5.0 out of 5 stars Such a beautiful and important book
Reviewed in the United States on May 14, 2020
This book, as the title suggests, is beautiful and important. It's also REAL. And encouraging! And honest. I honestly had not given such deep thought and consideration to my body, and after reading the book twice, I have a new-found realization of how my body - even the parts I haven't loved - have loved and supported me (unconditionally)!!! The words have been eye opening and educational. The illustrations are creative and lovely. I highly recommend this book for anyone who would like to start their journey of self love... or just develop a little self love in the moment!! It's so well written and easy to read!

5.0 out of 5 stars Inspiring and Beautiful!
Reviewed in the United States on April 12, 2020
What a beautiful read! The message is so inspiring. After reading this, I feel like I have an army of friends and support that I've never properly noticed...the parts of my body that I can ask to help lift me up when I need it (physically and mentally)...I've never thought about how much each part has such a strong purpose. I absolutely love the artist and how she captures the author's true color and flare! What an inspiring message I get from this book. Thank you to Nicole and Mica for this wonderful book.

5.0 out of 5 stars A gorgeous book
Reviewed in the United States on March 25, 2020
Nicole Ayers has produced a beautiful book about a very serious topic. Do we like our bodies? Which body parts do you love? And which do you just not accept?
After trying to change her body for most of her adult life, Ayers decided to accept herself in her body. It's not just about losing weight and toning. Body parts are more than bellies and thighs. It's her beautiful eyes, hair and even her taste buds. Who would have thought of this?
The book is beautifully illustrated with whimsical drawings. It's the book we need today.
