“The beauty of a
woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way
she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is
the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is
reflected in her soul. It's the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion
that she shows & the beauty of a woman only grows with passing years.”
~ Audrey Hepburn
"I
hope that I get to see you love what you are. To know yourself as gift and
worth and truth. That you see what a huge thing it is to have the courage to
break your own heart. That you have chosen wholeness — even when it has
shattered you.... And that you will one day see that you can be whole and
broken in the exact same spaces, that they nestle side by side — and that this
is the way of things. Not your punishment for wrongdoing, or for not trying
hard enough — but just the way of things.
That you can stand and look at yourself in a mirror and see your goodness right there, see the worth of what you bring on the surface of your skin, just like I do. That you trust there is brilliance to come. That you own what is yours to own, both the bad and the good. That you do not insist on owning it all. It was never all yours to hold." ~ Jeanette LeBlanc
