A Dedication To All Of The Beautiful Women Out There! YES, You Are Beautiful!

Women, I need you to listen to me closely. Stop allowing men to define your beauty. All of us come in different sizes and shapes. Learn to embrace what YOU were blessed with. Don’t be concerned about what others think of you. What’s most important is how you feel about yourself. Now, if you don’t like the way you look, make changes for YOU, not a man.

What’s sexy to one man may not be sexy to the next man. It’s the same concept when we look at men. All men aren't created equal when it comes to their body frame. Some men have very toned and athletic bodies, some are stocky and short, some are tall and thin, some men are overweight, etc. The point I’m trying to make is this: You can’t live your life trying to appeal to everybody. It’s pointless!

So what if you have a stomach. So what is you’re a full-figured woman. So what if you’re super skinny with no real shape. So what if you’re NOT thick. So what if you don’t have large breast. So what if you don’t have a round apple butt. So what if you have stretch marks. So what if you have cellulite.

REALLY! So what!

Self-love and self-esteem is so VERY important to have. When you love who YOU are, people can’t make you feel less than because you don’t apparently fit their standards in the way that you look.

Beauty is being unique! Beauty is NOT to be defined. Beauty is what you see in yourself.

If a man only sees you for your body, then he’s one small thinking BOY. You may need to think on that for a little bit. A REAL man will see the TOTAL package in you.

You’re beautiful!

You’re unique!

You’re beautifully blessed just how you’re supposed to be!

Believe that!

Life Encouragement: A Poem by Stephanie Lahart

Some people will not believe in you,
But you’d better not be one of them.
Some people may not see your full potential,
But you’d better not be one of them.
Some people may question your capabilities,
But you’d better not be one of them.
Some people will purposely overlook you,
But that’s okay, it’s THEIR loss.
Some people will not be supportive of you,
And they will speak negative and hurtful words.

Know Who You Are!
DON’T BE DISCOURAGED… PERSEVERE.

ENCOURAGE yourself,
BELIEVE in yourself, and
LOVE yourself…
Never doubt who you are.

Always think highly of yourself!
Always know that you matter!
Always know that your voice matters!
Always know that you are worth it!
Always give yourself a chance!
Always know that you can and will succeed!
