Audrey Hepburn

One of my favorite actresses was Audrey Hepburn. I think everyone can appreciate her classic style & beauty. She has this quote that I love. I think that one of the best ways to boost your own self esteem is to help boost someone else's & this is what she says about finding beauty within yourself:

"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 his/her fingers through it once a day...
For poise, walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone...People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; never throw out anyone. Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you will find one at the end of each of your arms. As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands; one for helping yourself, and the other for helping others."

This is so true. I find that when I truly forget myself & serve others, not only do I feel better about myself, but I am helping others feel better about themselves as well. May we all learn to live this "motto".

I am a huge fan of Audrey Hepburn and I love that quote by her. I think she was a woman who showed true class and elegance. She is remembered for her style-but she is also remembered for her work with UNICEF. She was a champion for others. What a great way to start this amazing adventure for you. I know you are going to touch so many lives! Keep up all of your wonderful work.

I really like this quote. Very nice. I also like the one above, but I have heard it as a girl in the looking glass before. I wonder if I could find it. Humm.. I like your new blog BTW. =0)
