I have had a long think about this blog. Some people feel beauty is superficial, inner beauty is more important than outer, we should just get comfortable in our own skin, etc. I feel that beauty isn't at all superficial, that it is inner and outer beauty that matters, oh and we should get comfortable in our own skin. The getting comfortable part I am still working on, but at least I'm working on it.
Never lose an opportunity of seeing anything beautiful, for beauty is God's handwriting. Charles Kingsley
I talk to women every day, at work, at the store and online. Beauty matters always come up, skin care issues, weight problems, self-esteem and how they think others see them are the topics that come up. If we actually could see ourselves in the beauty we were made in, psychologists would be out of a job. Since we are not in a perfect world, most of us have had struggles that have put stigma's on us.
Skin care is easily solved, there is a plethora of products out there to help with. Underweight, overweight or even the perfect weight, we will never see ourselves properly due to bad self-esteem. Self-esteem problems can lead to eating disorders which in turn lead to weight problems and skin issues. All of these I will revisit in another blog.
Beauty saves. Beauty heals. Beauty motivates. Beauty unites. Beauty returns us to our origins, and here lies the ultimate act of saving, of healing, of overcoming dualism. Matthew Fox
As I continue working on this blog, my main purposes are to educate, illuminate and inspire all those that come on. Of course I want feedback, questions and ideas for topics.
Always remember:
