What Does Beauty Mean To You?

My daughter Kelly is in a Body Image & Society class for her last semester of college.  Their latest assignment was to complete a vision board about beauty.  I was inspired  when I saw her board and it made me think about what beauty means to me.  

Beauty can be words. Beauty can be hugs. Beauty can be self love. Beauty can be yoga, not done perfectly. Beauty can be hope. Beauty can be health. Beauty can be nourishing your soul. Beauty is devotion to being the real you. Beauty is another way of looking at our lives and making it our own creation.  


What does beauty mean to you?

I love the song by Colbie Calliat called Try.
Listen to the lyrics and you will be uplifted.

"Take your make-up off
Let your hair down
Take a breath
Look in the mirror at yourself
Don't you like YOU?
Cause I like you."  

Are you seeing beauty when you look in the mirror? 
 If not, make a change.
  
Smile.  
Hug someone.  
Do a little dance.  
Take a deep breath.  
You are beauty.
Believe.
