The Greatest Gift of All...

Have you ever encountered another woman who you thought was beautiful... and you shied away from her because you feared you might not measure up? What were you feeling? What were you thinking?

When you do this, your actions say, "I'm not enough and I'm not comfortable in my own skin", and you cheat yourself and others out of new possibilities. You miss the opportunity to meet new people and you miss the opportunity to truly be yourself.

I’d like to make the request that you to shatter that thought that says, "I'm not enough", because you are. You are more than enough!!!!! You are a beautiful woman! There will always be someone who is taller, shorter, thinner, thicker, lighter skinned, darker skinned... you get the idea... Some of the most successful models were teased as children because of their long necks, big foreheads and long legs. What makes the human species so interesting and so beautiful is that we are all different!

Did you know that the beauty industry is a billion dollar industry?! Billion dollars!! I want you to know that there is no expensive cosmetic and no retail therapy that can give you the inner strength that comes from being happy, just being you.

When you love yourself, you no longer feel the need to compare yourself to anyone else. There's no need. You live your life more authentically, because you are embracing your truth.

Today, look in the mirror and smile. Look at that fabulous woman standing there! The woman in the mirror will no doubt be smiling back at you. She loves you. Love her too. And, the next time you encounter a woman whose beauty makes you feel a little bit uncomfortable, look her in the eyes, smile and say "Hello".

All my best to you...
