Redefining 'Beautiful'

Redefining Beautiful
"My mother always told me I was fat as a little girl. I have never felt beautiful."

I have heard these words from many women that I have had the honor to photograph. The thing is, we are taught how to perceive our bodies. Our own mothers were taught how to perceive bodies. We come from a linage of teachings that are more often than not unauthentic and untrue.

I ask: if we, as mothers, are concernced for our daughter's health, let's take her to the park. Let's re-invent how we eat. Let's dance several times a day. Let's LEAD by example how to be active and how to LOVE our bodies.

Let's teach our children to see beauty in all shapes and may we encourage our daughters to tell themselves that they are BEAUTIFUL and encourage them to tell others they are BEAUTIFUL too! May we nurture the seeds of self love for our children so that they can feel wonderful and help others to feel wonderful too!

One of the best ways to teach our daughters to feel beautiful: to genuinely FEEL beautiful ourselves in this miraculous skin which we have been blessed to live in, to dance with, to cry from, to love from.

How do you feel beautiful?

When I wear clothing that makes me happy like a Hello Kitty Teeshirt or a Pinup dress, or my favorite color I take that feeling and smile, then I look in the mirror and think...You are cute, you are smart...and this makes me feel beautiful

never feel beautiful anymore, my husband has so many younger women he connects to on the internet, always telling them how beautiful they are and how he loves them.
he lies to them about our relationship and makes them feel sorry for him....some he even tells he's dying from cancer, anything that works for their attention...it's sad to know that women believe everything a man tells them on here....he doesn't even post a picture or go by his proper name. Zeit Geist, who would believe a fantasy person?

Mrs. "anonymous" above me ^
YOU deserve to be the happiest person you can be.
Regardless of age or appearance. You're already beautiful, whether you're choosing to see it or not.
Like a seedling, you must have a good environment to blossom into the flower you've always wanted to be. I don't care if this is anonymous on the internet. I only hope that my words help you strengthen yourself.
YOU define your self worth. NOBODY should be able to tell you any different.
love and light, my sister.

When I am covered with dirt and sweat from my garden, when I am holding a grandchild, when my husband gives me that look from across a roomful of our family or reaches for my hand when we are sitting near each other, when my (grown!!!) kids hug me or when a grandchild cries,"Akka!" and runs toward me, when I worship and pray, when I can ease someone's pain...

A GREAT SPELL CASTER (DR.TAKUTA) THAT HELP
ME GET MY EX HUSBAND BACK, AM SO HAPPY
My name is LUCY SETHI from USA .I am here to
give testimony on how I got my husband back.
My husband left me for no reason 3 years ago.
He moved in with another woman, I felt like
killing myself, my life became very bitter and
sorrowful. Then 1 day, a friend of mine told me
about a great spell caster that is very good and,
he said he gave him some lucky numbers that he
played in a lottery and he won. I didn't believe it
because I've worked with so many of them and it
didn't work. He begged me further so I decided
to try this great spell caster called DR TAKUTA. I
still didn't believe. I used the spell he gave me
and the next day I received a call from my
darling husband Thomas last month. He
apologized and came back to me. He even gave
me 10,000USD as a means of compensating me.
