You Are A Beautiful Mess!

Beautiful girl, don't you know that you are a beautiful mess?

I had a lovely conversation today with a wonderful woman of whom I met for the first time. We had an agenda of items to discuss, but ended up sharing our personal stories, our faith, our challenges and our pain.

The beauty of women is that we have the ability to affirm one another (if we choose) and by taking a risk of being vulnerable and sharing our stories, we have the sacred gift of serving one another.

Society can be so harsh on us women, we can be hard to one another and be our worst personal critics.

So many expectations lie before us, we have to look beautiful yet sexy at the same time, we have stay fit, dress nicely, wear make-up and most of all have our hair always, always being so perfect that Aqua Net could never argue.

Then, there are those days that we struggle the most, when we toss make-up out the door because we are just not feelin' it, sweats is the best option, because heck, we don't got time for that right now, we wrap our uncombed hair into a bun and desire a really good nap.

In retrospect, it's those messy tangled up hair days that we women are the most beautiful; that is when our character shines brightly through, when we are not in survival mode, but are in our She-Ra Warrior Princess mode - all of that builds our character which helps shape our unique gift to the world.

Don't be afraid to be a "Beautiful Mess" because that is when we shine the most! Just like the wildflowers that sit so brightly in the fields, embrace your messy and live like the wildflowers do!
