So, What Is Beauty Anyway?

The Body/Temple:  Our Body Is A Gift

So many of the women I talk to struggle with body image issues.  There is a lot of collective angst about the wrapping on the package.  Is it really that important what we look like?   Isn’t there a bigger issue?

Beautiful! What's Inside?

Beautiful! So, What's Inside?

I have a life history with self esteem issues myself.  I understand some of the inner turmoil that accompanies a poor body image.  I am still trying to understand the obsession we have with cosmetic beauty.  I am very interested in your thoughts and  stories about it.

Like you, I want to look my best, but I’ve come to realize our body is so much more than what we look like…

Our body is a gift from our creator.  It is our temple.  It houses our Spirit and allows us to move about this life experience while we are here in this place and time.  Such a gift deserves profound respect.

How well do we look after our body/temple?

  • Do we tend to it lovingly?
  • Do we have a spirit of gratitude for the physical health that we enjoy?
  • Do we appreciate the gift?

We are beautiful regardless of age, wrinkles or thigh size.  We are beautiful because we are women.  Silky hair, long legs and perky boobs are bonuses… :)

We bring softness and light to the world… We are connected to every other woman… It is part of our job to help her feel beautiful too… Our daughters are watching us… We are showing them what is important… now that’s a divine assignment…

Have a beautiful day,

    Hi Joyce,

    I appreciate all the time and effort you spend sending us messages. Believe me, they are so helpful.

    I take care of my body temple and am grateful for the strength I have each day to carry out my work. Each day is a gift and I want to pass on the inspiration I am receiving from many people these days.

    With love and blessings,
    Carol

    Not only are our daughters watching us but our sisters and all of the women around us are watching,learning,repeating. Remember the sons and brothers of the world who look to us to learn how to treat women. We are teachers, healers, lovers…truly magnificant creators. At the age of 32, I am finally claiming all that I am and celebrating. It has been a long climb. Be persistant. Blessed Be, Carol
