Each morning, Real Simple sends me an email with a Daily Thought for the day. Unlike most who dread their inbox in the am, I anxiously await the bit of brightness that comes in the form of a quote or poem.
This particular quote was sent to me at the beginning of March. Not only was I drawn in because of the "author" (I ABSOLUTELY ADORE Ellen Degeneres), but I also truly connected to the meaning behind the words. That connection stemmed from a thoughtful conversation that I had with my brother a few weeks back.
While sitting together and talking about our relationships, my brother opened up about his perspective on a woman's true beauty. Listening to him say that a woman is best looking when she is confident in her own skin, made me realize the importance of loving yourself. As Ellen Degeneres noted, superficial "extras", like clothing and makeup, are nice, but nothing trumps self awareness, self confidence and a genuine smile!
