Sometimes I sit here, in my virtual blog, and think of another entry that seems important to me. This one is Titled: The Entitlement of Beauty I have three daughters. All of which are lovely, smart and (mostly) kind hearted. I look at them and think constantly, What do I want them to know before I leave this Earth? Is it, how to do great makeup....how to decorate your house in whimsy...how to never leave your childhood behind completely? Hardly. I love all of those things... They bring me creativity, joy and nostalgia but I think about the more important things. My daughters are getting older. They are still children, but I can clearly see that up and coming sixteen year old, who wants to be popular, who wants to be pretty, who wants to be well liked by her peers. This is what I have to say to those things.... Youre a spectacular beauty.. A rare find. Nobody is like you in this universe and you are entitled to feel special, unique and lovely. You will have days that you might not feel like you reflect that in the mirror..but that is who you truly are. And you are intelligent. I know you can accomplish and will accomplish things that nobody will be expecting... Embrace your abilities! Aim high. Every cliche I can give you that applies... I will. Because the skys the limit. Never cut yourself short. Every time someone tells you cant, or you arent, reverse that comment.. Do not ever let anyone else ever determine your worth or your destination. No man has that capability, because you are priceless and they have no authority to make that judgement. You will encounter difficult people that you will never be able to please. Stop trying. They wont know you are sacrificing your happiness for theirs. Just treat everyone with kindness and let it go.. Just like the movie said. Theres wisdom in simplicity like that..yes, even from Disney. Please do not spend your life trying to fit in or make everyone like you. Its great if they do, and matters very little if they dont. If you have been communicative, respectful and kind.. Thats all you could have done. Wish them well and move on. I want you to know... That you are loved by me (and your Dad). There is nothing you could do that I would not still love you. I probably wont agree with your all choices, thats mathematically impossible... But I have faith in your abilities to assess situations and use the knowledge we have tried to openly share with you. And yes, I have wisdom that you do not yet have, but I also make mistakes too.. And I ask your forgiveness in advance for those mistakes. There are times when I probably just needed a nap, or a good cup of coffee, or just the ability to keep my opinion to myself... But know, I always, always have your best interests at heart and with that in mind, I will always try to speak to you out of love not anger. You three girls, are my greatest joy. I love all three of you equally, without compromise and forever... And I am always here. Im proud of you... I believe in you.. Im praying for you... And your going to do great! Yours, always... Mom
