LOVE!
Especially the love, kindness and care you give to yourself.
Lovingly accepting and embracing your flaws, your past, your dreams, and radiating that love on to others.
Lovingly accepting and embracing your flaws, your past, your dreams, and radiating that love on to others.
Do something every day that is loving
and nurturing towards your body.
“For attractive lips, speak words of kindness.
For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.
For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.
For beautiful hair, let a child run their fingers through it once a day.
For poise, walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone."
Sam Levenson

“The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths.
These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern.
Beautiful people do not just happen.”
