Despite all the time I've spent helping people find the beauty in themselves, even I battle with insecurity. I was struggling to capture a headshot for my profile, where I was smiling, and looked pretty, instead of creepy. I've always hated my smile...hence, why five years of local modeling hadn't provided a "pretty" headshot before. Just as I was growing frustrated, though, and was ready to give up...my dear husband chimed in to remind me that I AM beautiful, no matter how often I think I'm just creepy, and dwell on my insecurities. The lesson here: All of us, EVERYONE, has insecurities about something or other. Today, be kind to yourself. Instead of dismaying over crow's feet, pudgy thighs, or a smile that always looks forced...look in the mirror and give yourself a compliment. It all sounds very cliche, but I've seen positive affirmations work wonders. And, remember you have a friend here, with her forced-looking smile, and beautiful sapphire eyes. Good luck on your Monday - your votes are in!
Yay! Vote #1. I feel so important! Had an interview for a garde manger apprentice this week. Maybe something different. Hope new things are keeping you happy! Voted.
Howdy, hope you had a good weekend. My Saturday article can be found at http://eyeontheparanormal.blogspot.com/2011/12/djinn-or-genie-are-they-real-or.html. Then I will be on the radio from 8-10 PM this coming Thurs. I'll have the link posted as soon as I get it. Voted
Thanks so much for stopping by and voting for me. How are you doing? Did you have a good Thanksgiving? Btw, I can't believe it's almost Christmas and soon New Years.
I'm trying to get better as getting on here and voting for people.
physchology is a good field. My friend majored in that, however if she is wanting to make a career out of it, I'd suggest she go back to get her master's degree. My friend had to do that and she landed a great career afterwards. Voted!
LOL! They do wear ya out don't they. Hope they had a wonderful anniversary. Getting your votes in on this beautiful sunny Seattle Sunday!! Have an awesome day Sweetie!
I was talking to a dear friend of mine about a hot issue in the country right now: Equal rights for the gay and lesbian community. He had this to say, and I thought it was worth sharing: "I don't like the stigma attached to the terms straight, gay, or bi, because people still assume being "straight" means you're a good wholesome person, but being gay or bi means there's something wrong with you. If you ask me, can't I just tell you I'm not picky and buy you a drink?" He's a great guy (bisexual) that really sees things to love in all of us...and I liked his thought above. Remember, hatred and prejudice are the two biggest things that hold us back. Today, practice tolerance. Just because someone else's political views, religious views, or sexual orientation is different from yours, if they're not hurting anyone, would it really hurt you to try to understand? Have a wonderful Sunday. Your votes are in!
Please forgive me for being gone the last few days. I feel so guilty but I have been spending long days with the grandkids and falling asleep on the sofa. LOL! Your votes are in. Have a super Saturday night Sweetie!!
