Okay now that everyone is caught up, I would like to show you what my definition of beautiful is....
Beautiful is a mother and daughter
Beautiful is: Sisters
Beautiful is: Grandmother and her Granddaughters
Beautiful is you when you smile and stand tall!
I am no airbrushed pencil thin model. She is not real. She isn't perfect. She is turned into the ideal. Well I think the ideal is wrong. I think we are the ideal. Women who share, love, work, cry, laugh and give. We are all beautiful. And we are all real. So the next time you see the "ideal" on the cover of a magazine looking airbrushed and perfect, remember you are the beautiful one. Because you are real. You don't need airbrushing because you are so beautiful. I have one more definition of beautiful to share.
Being beautiful means not being afraid of who you really are.
What is beautiful to you?

This was a wonderful idea!
Great great post! And I love that bubble picture, you can see your reflection in the window. :)
I love this so much!!! I've struggled with this for the last 15 years or so, because I flip from one extreme in weight to the other. Right now I'm right where I should be, but it's only due to stress. We'll see what happens when life calms down.
Keep blowing bubbles!
Lourie, I love this so much! And you know I am loving the mother and daughter photo!
I am going to get my act together and think of a post and link up to this wonderful thang you started!
I love the just being who you really are.:)
Hugs,

awww love it! What a nice looking family!
Exactly!
Wow! Powerful!! Excellent. Thanks for the reminder!
i've never done this "link up" thing before, this was a great topic!
This is great! I've struggled with self image and my weight for my whole life, and to read something like this is very uplifting. I'm past it now (still like to lose those forever pesky 5-10 pounds), but it's always refreshing to read something like this. Thank you!
You are so right and you are beautiful!
I love your definition of being beautiful. What great pics!
LOVE IT!! Awesome post!
I really enjoyed this post and equally enjoyed posting about it on my blog. Your crock pot is on it's way.
It's true, this is beautiful. I had a Bishop once who likened airbrushed models and even Martha Stewart to pornography for women - impossible standards that set us up for disappointment every time.
Give me some scoop on posting dates, etc. I am going to mention it on Tickled Pink!
It is a beautiful idea! One of my great struggles...even at 30 lbs. less it was a struggle...it is my brain man!
