Selfie

I love this video and everything it represents, I feel very strongly that beauty is being redefined everyday. It feels great to know that we have the power to say what beauty is and not have it be defined by a magazine or tv show. I know many young ladies and even pre teens, who feel they need to look like someone on a magazine to represent true beauty. That is why I make it a point to my 10 and 11 year old girls, to know that they don't need make up or be following the latest trend to know their worth and true beauty. I know like this video shows that its also a reflection of everything I show to them, I'm proud to say that I feel good enough to enhance my natural beauty with make up or go a whole week without it. This video also remind me of a project that Wendy Breitzman Santiano put together a few months back, that focused on redefining true beauty by focusing on the features we least liked about ourselves.

New Year, New You

Its the beginning of a new year, the start of something new!
Think of yourself as a book yet to be written, as a blank canvas ready to become a masterpiece
Remember to believe in yourself and become what you are meant to be
You truly are Beautiful
You truly are Strong and Powerful
Don't ever let anyone tell you how far you can go in life
Don't ever second guess your potential
or who you are meant to be
You truly are a princess a queen
by far one of God's Greatest creation.
Remember that things will not always be perfect, but the beauty of it all is that we can always start all over.
If you feel lost, try to find the person you most want to become
If you feel alone, remember that God is always there
If you feel Sad, find reasons to smile even if it means watching funny videos on Youtube
If you feel inadequate, Tell yourself everything you are truly good about
If you feel not worthy enough, ask for forgiveness and forgiveness will set you free, then make sure to never look back
You are unique
You are amazing
You are the only one who can write your story
