For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others,
For beautiful lips speak only words of kindness,
And for poise walk with the knowledge that you are never alone.
~ Aubrey Hepburn

LOVE these first two black and white images. Which reminds me, I need some like this of my girls.

Goals

Posted on May 24, 2013

Do one thing every day that scares you.
~ Eleanor Roosevelt

Why would you want to do this, something that scares you? Doesn’t scary imply danger?

What if it doesn’t?

What if it means unknown or new?

I have goals for each week and then break them down for each day. Personal goals, professional goals and goals with my children.

And then I have larger goals, the ones that scare me. One in particular. It is not dangerous – but it is unknown to me. And it is a driving force. After a lot of thought and reflection on my own experiences, I can see why we need to do things that scare us. Because we just might discover we CAN do the very thing that scares us the most. And the process of doing it – is just as important, if not more, than achieving the goal itself.

I feel like flying. I’ve been working hard both personally and professionally and today I see results.

Nothing can bring you peace but yourself.
~ Ralph Waldo Emmerson

Isn’t she beautiful?

She radiates vibrance.

Because I believe in the importance and value of it 110%, with all that I am.

Because I know what it’s like to put everyone else before myself and then there is little left of me. As women, and especially as mothers, this is quite common but can also be harmful. I believe in a healthy balance.

Because I know the value in saying YOU are worth the time to do this. **BELIEVE YOU ARE WORTHY**

Because I see and experience the confidence that comes from this type of photo shoot and it makes we want to do it for YOU.

Because we need to stop comparing ourselves to other women and look WITHIN ourselves. Invest in yourself.

Because if we want to practice kindness to others, first – we have to be kind to ourselves.

Watch this:

How do you see yourself?

I love what Florence says, near the end of the video:

“It impacts everything. The choices and the friends we make, the jobs we apply for, how we treat our children.”

It is healthy! GO AHEAD – give yourself permission to feel good about YOU.
