I have always believed that each of us is beautiful in our own special way. Some of us are pretty to look at, some of us have nice hair, some of us have nice teeth, some of us have great personalities. If you think about it, there is something about each of us, that someone else admires, or wishes they had.

No I didn’t say they would admit it openly…

Do you ever give yourself a compliment? Tell yourself that you look beautiful?

Sometimes I think we get so caught up in the day to day, that we forget to take a minute and be our own friend. We forget that being comfortable in your own skin, starts with loving yourself. We can be our own worst critics.

I am sure you are wondering what brings this up…well I got to thinking the other day as I was putting my makeup on, that I really like my eyes and how I felt so pretty that day, but as I finished up and walked by the full length mirror, how hard I was on myself. And how in that split second of putting myself down, that one thought that entered my head, made me feel horrible and instead of wearing what I originally picked out, I ended up in a pair of jean capris and a tshirt. I ended up pulling my hair back and saying screw it.

Had I only been a little nicer to myself…I would have felt better that entire day. I would have felt beautiful, I would have looked beautiful, but it changed in that instant with that one nasty thought.

So when you are getting dressed today…do me a favor. When you walk by that mirror, don’t let that one dreaded thought get the chance to ruin your day. Beat it to the punch. Flip your hair, bat your pretty little eyes, smile and say…”Honey, you look great today!” and just keep on walking.

Dig down deep and find your beauty that you hide away. Be you, be big and be beautiful!
