One Flaw in Women

I'm not sure who the author of this is but I thought it was good & wanted to share!

One Flaw In Women

Women have strengths that amaze men.....
They bear hardships and they carry burdens,
but they hold happiness, love and joy.
They smile when they want to scream.
They sing when they want to cry.
They cry when they are happy
and laugh when they are nervous.
They fight for what they believe in..
They stand up to injustice.
They don't take "no" for an answer
when they believe there is a better solution.
They go without so their family can have.
They go to the doctor with a frightened friend.
They love unconditionally.
They cry when their children excel
and cheer when their friends get awards.
They are happy when they hear about
a birth or a wedding.
Their hearts break when a friend dies.
They grieve at the loss of a family member,
yet they are strong when they
think there is no strength left.
They know that a hug and a kiss
can heal a broken heart.
Women come in all shapes, sizes and colors.
They'll drive, fly, walk, run or e-mail you
to show how much they care about you.
The heart of a woman is what
makes the world keep turning.
They bring joy, hope and love.
They have compassion and ideas.
They give moral support to their
family and friends.
Women have vital things to say
and everything to give.
HOWEVER, IF THERE IS ONE FLAW IN WOMEN, IT IS THAT THEY FORGET THEIR WORTH.

Britney Spears Okays Release of Untouched Photos


I thought this was an interesting article. So many of our young people look up to celebrities & we need to see more of these "untouched" images. She doesn't even need to be airbrushed....well, I can see getting rid of a bruise that normally isn't there or even a zit or a hair that is misplaced, but changing the way your body looks just to "look better" is sending the wrong message to our young women!

20 Ways to love your body! Compiled by Margo Maine, Ph.D

This comes from the National Eating Disorders website...www.nationaleatingdisorders.org...

1. Think of your body as the vehicle to your dreams. Honor it, Respect it. Fuel it.
2. Create a list of all the things your body lets you do. Read it and add to it often.
3. Become aware of what your body can do each day. Remember it is the instrument of your life, not just an ornament.
4. Create a list of people admire: people who have contributed to your life, your community, or the world. Consider whether their appearance was important to their success and accomplishments.
5. Walk with your head held high, supported by pride & confidence in yourself as a person.
6. Don't let your weight or shape keep you from activities that you enjoy.
7. Wear comfortable clothes that you like, that express your personal style, and that feel good to your body.
8. Count your blessings, not your blemishes.
9. Think about all the things that you could accomplish with the time and energy you currently spend worrying about your body & your appearance. Try one!
10. Be your body's friend and supporter, not it's enemy.
11. Consider this: Your skin replaces itself once a month, your stomach lining every five days, your liver every six weeks and your skeleton every three months. Your body is extraordinary, begin to respect and appreciate it!
12. Every morning when you wake up thank your body for rejuvinating itself so you can enjoy the day.
13. Every evening when you go to bed tell your body that you appreciate what it has allowed you to do throughout the day.
14. Find a method of exercise that you enjoy & do it regularly. Don't exercise to lose weight or to fight your body. Do it to make your body healthy & strong and because it makes you feel good. Exercise for the three F's: Fun, Fitness & Friendship.
15. Think back to a time in your life when you felt good about your body. Tell yourself you can feel like that again, even in this body at this age.
16. Keep a list of 10 positive things about yourself without mentioning your appearance. Add to it!
17. Put a sign on each of your mirrors saying "I'm beautiful inside & out."
18. Choose to find the beauty in the world & in yourself.
19. Start saying to yourself, "Life is too short to waste my time hating my body this way."
20. Eat when you are hungry. Rest when you are tired. Surround yourself with people that remind you of your inner strength & beauty.

DON'T WEIGH YOUR SELF ESTEEM, IT'S WHAT INSIDE THAT COUNTS!!

Mermaid or Whale?

I got this email from a friend & I thought it was so good that I wanted to share it!

A SMART WOMAN'S THINKING FOR A HAPPY LIFE...
Recently, in a large city, a poster featuring a very young, extremely thin, dramatically tanned woman appeared in the window of a gym. The caption on the poster said, "This summer, do you want to be a mermaid or a whale?"
A middle-aged woman, whose physical characteristics did not match those of the woman on the poster, responded publicly to the question posed by the gym. This is what she wrote:
To Whom It May Concern:
Here are the facts:
Whales are always surrounded by friends such as dolphins, sea lions, even curious humans. They have an active sex life, get pregnant and have adorable baby whales. They have a wonderful time with dolphins, stuffing themselves with shrimp. They play and swim in the seas, seeing wonderful places like Patagonia, the Bering Sea and the coral reefs of Polynesia. Whales are wonderful singers and have even recorded CDs. They are incredible creatures and have virtually no predators other than humans. They are loved, protected and admired by almost everyone in the world.
On the other hand, Mermaids don't exist. If they did exist, they would be lining up outside the offices of Argentinean psychoanalysts due to identity crisis. Fish or human? They don't have a sex life because, according to mythology, they kill any men who get close to them. And, hello? how could they have sex? Just look at them ... where is IT? Therefore, they aren't able to have any precious babies either. Not to mention, who wants to get close to a girl who smells like a fish store? The choice is perfectly clear to me: I want to be a whale.
P.S. We are in an age when media puts into our heads the idea that only skinny people are beautiful, but I prefer to enjoy an ice cream with my kids, a good dinner with a man who makes me shiver, and a piece of chocolate with my friends. With time, we gain weight because we accumulate so much information and wisdom in our heads that when there is no more room, it distributes out to the rest of our bodies.So we aren't heavy, we are enormously cultured, educated and happy. So, as of today, when I look at my butt in the mirror instead of whining, I will think: Good grief, look how smart I am!
