Celebrating Women

Here's a little note I wrote to myself but can be truly relevant to every woman.

I looked at myself in the mirror today and was so overwhelmed by how beautiful I looked, even before I had put on my make-up and taken off my sleeping cap.  It made me feel so good to look at my face and beautiful eyes.  In that moment I realized: hey, I am beautiful.

Even if no one tells me today (husband included), I am beautiful.  My beauty does not need anyone to acknowledge it anyway.  It is there, and whether its spoken about or not, it is there.  I know what I saw.  It will be great for someone to notice, but even if they don’t, it wont take anything away from me.

I need to worry when I walk into a room and conversation does not come to a standstill.  I am beautiful, this I know.  When I walk into a room I will hold my head high and my confidence will be soaring because I know I am beautiful.  If beauty is a power, I have it.  It may not cause things to happen around me like I want, but it can fuel my confidence and my energy.

I need not be afraid of meeting new people, of being in the spotlight or being the topic of conversation.  In fact, I need not be afraid to speak up and be noticed, to make myself the topic of conversation.  I know when the attention is on me, I am a pleasure to look at.  Even if no one thinks so, I shall not adjust my posture or shrink into myself, because I am totally besotted with my looks.

I don’t feel like an underdog.  I am absolutely fine.  As I step out today even if nothing else goes the way I want it to go, I’ll still have those fine eyes and the lovely smile.  I’m beautiful and I know it.
