Today I was thinking about why it's so important for some of us women to feel pretty. Do men ponder their handsomeness? I daresay that they are more likely to think about their confidence or their toughness more than their pretty. At least, that goes for the kind of men that I usually fancy. Ha!
Anyway, as I sat there wondering if I'm too vain or too materialistic, I remembered the excerpt above that I came across last week. And it clicked for me that it's okay for me to love pretty things and makeup and clothes and gratuitous girlyness.
Underneath all of that is a woman who constantly assesses the wellness of her spirit, and strives to be beautiful in action and in intention. And that's what really truly actually and magically makes me feel beautiful. What about you?
Inner beauty, too, needs occasionally to be told it is beautiful.
