Colour Week!

Liturgy & Outreach Captain - Chelsea 

This week, we celebrate Colour Week, not just through the colour we wear, but through the vibrant confidence and self-love we embrace.

 

In 2025, Colour Week supports the Butterfly Foundation and the powerful message of positive body image, something that touches each and every one of us.

 

In a world that often tells us who we should be, how we should look, and what we should change, I want to remind you of something important. You are enough, exactly as you are! 

 

The way you laugh, the way you think, the way you show kindness, none of these things should ever be dimmed by someone else's expectations.

Our bodies are not meant to fit into a single mold. They are meant to carry us through life, to help us run, dance, create, and embrace the world around us. They are not defined by numbers, sizes, or comparisons. You are more than the reflection in the mirror. You are the warmth in your friendships, the passion in your dreams, and the strength in every step forward. Self-love is not about perfection, it is about accepting yourself, respecting yourself, and giving yourself the kindness you so freely give to others. It is about knowing that flaws don’t make us weak, they make us real and being real is the most beautiful thing of all.

Many people have asked, why The Butterfly Foundation? Why body image? The truth is, this is an issue that is deeply personal to me. But I also know that I’m not alone. It can be difficult to talk about, but that’s exactly why we need to. We should never feel pressured to hide our insecurities, instead, we should embrace our differences and reject comparison. And while I know firsthand that this is easier said than done, one thing that makes a difference is the people you surround yourself with. 

Surround yourself with those who uplift you, who celebrate you for who you are, and who remind you of your worth when self-doubt creeps in. Because at the end of the day, true confidence is built in spaces where you feel safe, seen, and supported.

 

So this week, and every day, I encourage you to choose love over doubt. To stand tall in who you are. To remind yourself that you are worthy, you are valued, and you are enough.
