Always remember–you are a fine piece of china. Don’t let anyone treat you like a paper plate. ~ Naomi Campbell
Michaela in the mirror
MAYBE IT’S BECAUSE I was a teenager once, or maybe it’s because I raised a daughter…
…but when I read this quote I thought of women and how we compare ourselves to impossible ideals.
When you look into a mirror, what do you see?
Are your eyes too close together? Too small? Do you have uneven skin tone? Are your teeth crooked? Too yellow? Is your nose too big? Are your lips to thin?
If I looked at you, I’m sure I would see beauty. But you are so much more than that.
When you look inside your heart, what do you see?
Are you true to your word? Are you kind? Are you gentle? Are you motivated by love? Are you mindful of others? Are you helpful? Generous?
You are worthy of respect. You bring value to this world. You are a glorious miracle.
Don’t let anyone ever tell you different.
~ DIANA’S ENORMOUS BOOK OF QUOTES ~
Are you a fine piece of china or are you a paper plate?
