You’re Beautiful!

Okay folks here is the deal….I’ve had a couple of dear friends post about appearance weight fluctuations etc over the last few days. Now I’m not saying don’t get to where your weight is healthy for you (I’m working on that myself). But on the flip side of “too big” is “too small”. All I ask is that everyone take care and be careful of trying to be something that you aren’t because others or “they” (they being corporate/pop culture USA) think you should be that way.
This is near and dear to me because I have a niece who is truly DROP DEAD GORGEOUS and thinks shes fat. I work in a school and I see these same “self esteem” problems all the time, where people try to live up to impossible pictures of “the beautiful people”. all mainly because others aren’t willing to accept them for who they are.
Two wonderful Video’s by Dove say a world of things, I especially like to use the first one to show, you’ll never live up to what you see in the magazines and on billboards. so stop trying to be something your not, and love who you are, I love all of you….my friends for who you are. not what you look like, and I’m betting your other friends do as well!
Next comes something that we should all take to heart -
Kudo’s to Dove for both of these! they are fabulous

(no I’m not going soft and all libral hippy love on you all but these are both subjects that are dear to me!)
