How to Talk to Little Girls?

I am not sure I wholeheartedly agree with this article. However, it has great merit and truth.

As a child I can't remember being told I was pretty, etc. I am not saying it didn't happen. I remember more of my brothers telling me I was too tall, or my mom saying, "Pull your hair back. It makes your nose look long." or " Your ears are sticking out." It made me shrink away instead of standing tall.

The world around us has predetermined our fate as women judged on beauty. It is in nature all around us. The birds & the bees so to speak practice the same tactics. Humans are really no different except in awareness and in our empowerment to change.

So I won't hold back my compliments to little girls. I will tell them they are beautiful. I will tell them they are SMART, CLEVER and all around AMAZING!!! I will enjoy their faces as they delight in their beauty inside and out!

I do agree 100% with the author, Lisa Bloom, that we must encourage little girls to be more than their appearance. We do need to invest more in their talents instead or their tutus! I just don't feel it is necessary to undermine their beauty in the process.

BFF's Breast Friends Forever

Interesting post from Cafe Gratitude....

BFF's Breast Friends Forever

“Please forgive me. I love you. You are healthy, whole, complete, filled with love and light. You are beautiful just as you are. ”

Say Cheese!

Does your appearance hold you back? .......Too fat, too skinny, too wrinkled???

Has it stopped you from getting up to dance??? Saying hello to an old friend??? Learning something new and exciting???

Could it be the reason that you don't want to be photographed? Deb Schwedhelm thinks perhaps it is. Don't rob your family of memories. Get your tissues and check out her blog on the subject......And the next time you get in front of the camera say CHEESE :-)
