I want to make a comment on jealousy. i have never tried anything out of my safe zone because i have never recieved any encourgement .I went and taught myself to be a feng shui consultent and the person i most wanted to be proud of me was my husband.He not once ever said how proud he was of me.He would make disparging comments about it. the jealousy came out from the fact that he was and still is having a relationship with a women 3o yrs younger then him. i am jealousy because he finds the kind words i was looking for my self and he so freely gives to her .what is wrong with me that he can’t work on are marriage of 40 yrs .i understand its not me that its him but yet i can’t help but get hurt and be jealous of her.

So so true. every word.
As if you stepped inside women minds. it’s about time mothers and daughters will stand in front of a mirror, together, to appreciate themselves for who they are, and not for what they look like.

When I was fifteen I had open heart surgery. Upon recovery, I returned to school to find that many of my friends had fallen away. Some were upset with me because I had fallen ill during a group project, and ‘let them down.’ But something about what I had been through gave me to understand that none of that pettiness mattered. I held my head high.

When I arrived at my Home-Ec class, my teacher looked at me, then down at the scar running down my chest and said, ‘Don’t you think you should cover that thing up?’

I had never really seen myself as a beautiful girl. That image was reserved for my older sister! But I knew who I was, and even after an adult teacher found shame in my appearance, like a badge of honor, I wore my scar with pride.

At fifteen I spoke to God, through meditation and prayer. He answered me the morning before my surgery and every night after. Instinctively I knew that my beauty came from within, after all, I was God’s child.

Ever since I can remember, it has been my mission to work with children to help them understand that their beauty is in their spirit, and their strength rooted deep within their soul. It saddens me to know that little girls and boys grow up thinking anything else. We’ve come a long way in our thinking, and clearly have further to go.

Thanks Crystal for all the work you do making this world a better place for those little girls who are now women.

It’s interesting that we all seem to have an image to live up to…I am overweight by about 50lbs, and I am accepting of it. But when I go shopping for clothes and I can’t fit into most clothes they are selling these days, I am crushed. The clothing stores seem to have an image that we are all have small tiny teenager bodies. It’s tough out there. I have done a lot of my self work with you and I am not resisting what is for my body, it could be better for sure, it is what it is. I am working on the change. Thank you as always for your words

I find it so sad that women don’t see themselves as beautiful. I try to look in the mirror every morning and smile back at myself. I see a pleasant, honest, beautiful face looking back at me. I encourage everyone to do the same. It’s worth the effort and sets a precedent for your day. Cheers and thanks for the reminder!
