Starting Fresh

 

Clearly, it has been a long time since my last post. Life has taken me in directions I never thought I would go. However, my chronic alopecia is still the same, and even worse in some ways. But hey, my wig collection has expanded and I learned new ways to camouflage my hair loss. My husband still thinks I'm beautiful, and so does my Heavenly Father. I need no other approval, and life is great!

Stay tuned for more thoughts and affirmations on true beauty!

Beautiful Soul

Thought for Today
To the people who love you, you are beautiful already. This is not because they're blind to your shortcomings, but because they so clearly see your soul. - Victoria Moran

Unconditional love is a priceless thing. So is a truly pure, honest and open heart. A pure heart sees beauty in everyone. When you possess a pure heart, you possess beautiful soul, and other beautiful souls will recognize it. If your soul is ugly, a pure heart will also recognize the possibilities there.

No Woman Is Ordinary

If you were to ask a group of women to name something beautiful or even special about themselves, some wouldn't be able to come up with anything. I find this really sad. So many of us consider ourselves ordinary when we are anything but.
No woman is ordinary and there is beauty in each and every one of us. It may not be physical, but inner, which is most important, because when you are beautiful on the inside, it will shine through your eyes, your smile, your whole being. Inner beauty shines far brighter than the physical. A woman who is kind and gracious, possessing a good heart, is beautiful. There is nothing ordinary about her.
It is my hope that we as women begin to realize this and hold on to it. Once we internalize this truth we will begin to see it. We will recognize true beauty and find it in every woman we see, including ourselves.

Thought for Today

“Cherish your visions; cherish your ideals; cherish the music that stirs in your heart, the beauty that forms in your mind, the loveliness that drapes you purest thoughts, for out of them will grow delightful conditions, all heavenly environment; of these if you but remain true to them, your world will at last be built.” ~ James Allen

Thought for Today
“Honey, God loves you just as you are. As people who have been created by God, we are infinitely precious to Him because we are His creation. Regardless of our outward appearance, we are all made with that spiritual potential to relate directly to Him, spirit to Spirit...

You may not look so favorably on your outward appearance, but when God looks at you, He sees His beautiful daughter. While God cares deeply about our own personal struggles with our outward appearances, whatever they may be, He cares even more for you. Your outward appearance does not change God’s acceptance of you, and it certainly does not change the way He feels about you.”
― Corallie Buchanan

What Makes You Beautiful

One of my daughter's favorite songs is What Makes You Beautiful by One Direction and it is now my ringtone for when my husband calls. If you haven't heard it, give it a listen. It will perk you right up:-)

True beauty goes so beyond the physical.

Accept You!

Thought for the Week
Since we bring about what we think about, say to yourself each day, "I am beautiful, healthy, happy, and I love and accept myself no matter what." You will soon become those things.
