Beauty

My very good sister in law just sent me this wonderful link to a film about how women's perceptions of themselves get so distorted. Click Here to watch.

I love that she sent this to me. I feel like I am buying into this race of trying to look like a super model, or be a thin rail, because it seems so normal with all these beautiful city women all around me constantly. There are so many! It's also strange because as I am getting older, my body is changing. My once swimming and water polo pysique is changing becasue of my lack of 2 hour a day training and my body doing what it wants (and enjoying all the wonderful cheese that is available daily:)

Thanks, Kathleen, for reminding me that I am beautiful because of the person I am. I am healthy, though not a stick. My husband reminds me of that daily, but it's good to hear it from a woman. I am lucky enough to have 5 sisters in law, 3 strong moms and many wonderful friends who support each other and love each other. We all need strong women in our lives to remind us of what is important. Who started this rediculous mentality of models? Not any of the beautiful, smart women I know.
