Good Morning, and Happy International Women’s Day!

Take a look at the picture collage. Gorgeous ladies (all my family) from age twenty to 107! But what is it that makes these ladies beautiful?

If you look at these pictures you see: Strength. Enthusiasm. Drive. Integrity. Confidence. Resilience. Kindness. Compassion. Wisdom. Humor. Innocence.

Beauty isn’t found in the configuration of our facial features. It isn’t the color of our hair or eyes. The length of our legs, the curve of our hips, our crow’s feet or laugh lines. True beauty radiates from within.

We embrace our age because with each passing year we gain more wisdom. As time passes, we are tested and we see how much strength we truly possess. Every single day we give and receive kindness and compassion. And our good humor, the kind that gives us those laugh lines? It spreads joy to those around us. So, really…we get more beautiful every year.

Celebrate the beautiful women in your life today!
