Beauty.

You know what's been really on my heart lately? 

Beauty.

What people have come to define it as, what WOMEN are defining it as to their daughters, step-daughters, sisters, cousins, friends... 

Beauty is in a woman's strength. Beauty is in a woman's unique IMperfections.

It's not in the shade of lipgloss, the size of her waist, or the straightness of her teeth. 

We live in a viral world where a 'selfie' dictates your image. I may get dolled up for a photo shoot or to go out, but I am beautiful with my crooked teeth, my chipped nail polish, my hair out of place, my no curves, and no make up at all. 

Beauty is within... Not within a selfie. 

As women, our SELF image is constantly on display to younger girls. I challenge the strong women in my life to look in the mirror and ADMIRE the body and face you are blessed with instead of picking it apart. Set the standard for a generation of strong, happy, HEALTHY.... BEAUTIFUL women-to-be: on the INSIDE and OUT. 

Women, there are impressionable, self-conscious and FRAGILE little girls out there looking to you to show them how to view themselves- Let's make sure they look in the mirror and smile a REAL smile, and reflect true beauty. 

And women, believe you are beautiful yourself- not just for them.
