Do you know you are beautiful?

Do you know you are beautiful?

A friend of mine published a blog post today entitled I am woman HEAR ME ROAR that made me think and inspired me in a way. It was all about how we are beautiful, but we so rarely say it and that beauty isn't just how we look.

My comment in response to her post was an honest one, but it also made me think. What she wrote spoke to me and made me wonder if anyone else feels the same way.

I never thought of this before and you are right, we so rarely tell ourselves that we are beautiful. We may say cute, hot or sexy, but never beautiful. Let’s face it beauty starts within and is less about how we look and more about us as a person, but people still have the misconception that it is about face value. While I can’t recall the last time I (or someone around me) said that I was beautiful, I still know in my heart that this is true…. most of the time. I wouldn’t be human if I didn’t have some insecurities some days.

When was the last time you told yourself that you were beautiful? 

When was the last time you told someone around you that they were beautiful? 

Maybe it is time that we start letting people know. Beauty isn't skin deep.
