Quote of the Day…
No man succeeds without a good woman behind him. Wife or mother, if it is both, he is twice blessed indeed.
Harold MacMillan
No man succeeds without a good woman behind him. Wife or mother, if it is both, he is twice blessed indeed.
Harold MacMillan
This poem is dedicated to every single girl out there...
READ IT AND BELIEVE IT...
Seed of beauty
Deep in every girls heart God planted a seed of beauty
With every beat of your heart your life interprets this beauty
And as you grow into a woman
Your seed grows into a forest of mysterious wonders.
Blind beauties that you cannot see yourself
Beauty is not meant for the eyes beauty is felt
Beauty is experienced
Feel it...
Beauty is an imprint that cannot be removed
No matter how hard life tries to steel it from you
What ever has broken off, of you
Is removed to make you shine like a diamond sculpted by
God
Scared beauties even though the tiger of insecurity clawed in to your heart
And even on your skin beauty is far beyond what
A man can see
Beauty transcends through the untold stories which is your
life
Insecure beauties that look in to lying manipulating mirrors
That tell you, you are too big too small, fat, thin, short, tall.
Do not be deceived, beauties find a true mirror
And see the reflection of Gods beauty.
For you are beautiful
Lost beauties who seek but never find
You are hidden treasure meant to be found
To all beauties, you who know you are, you who are not sure
You who believe you are for you who do not believe
Grow your seed of beauty
You all are beautiful
You all are royal beauties
You are Gods princesses
You are beauty
- R. McDonald
For me this poem, illistrates the life cycle of a butterfly, starts off as cacoon (seed) ; over time this cacoon or sed needs nurturing, protection and a few storms to add a bit of character for what is going to come out at the end- when you truly find your true beauty and become that butterfly that has the most graceful presence and a unique beauty that displays the works of God
Just have a look at nature and even the human body, notice every single detail and then you will realise how real and awesome God is and that is the same God that made you...

What is Beauty??
Today we have been lead to believe that beauty only lies on the outside. And by that I mean a pale-faced, "bag of bones." With a crippled soul.
WOW..... that is beautiful!
The concept of beauty has really been distorted in society.
Lets look at some pictures...
Notice miserable the girls on the left are, and their lifeless eyes.
If you look at the girls on the right, notice the sparkle in their eyes and the different curves in their body that make them unique!
The girls on the left are missing out on life as they are constantly preoccupied with how they look- life passes them by...
Girls believe me, it's dangerous to fall victim to what society expects us to be...
I know this because it happened to me......
I was diagnosed with anorexia nervosa at the age of 14.
Anorexia is an eating disorder whereby the person reefuses to eat or maintain a body weight. There is also an intense fear of gaining weight. The image of themselves is distorted, this means that others would see them as thin where they would see themselves the exact opposite. FAT!!
I'm sure some of you will be able to relate with me here. Those who have had bulemia will also understand. It's a constant battle of the mind and I FOUGHT for many years. But there is no way you can get through it alone because in the beginning there is denial- doesn't believe they have the disorder.
In the beginning, I was extremely stubborn.. I refused to eat, no matter how hard anyone tried to persuade me. I was convinced I was still fat..
But girls there is hope, I PROMISE THIS!!! But you have to fight and allow people who care about you to help you.
For those of you out there that are suffering. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE don't suffer alone..
God sent people to help me.. My mom and Dad were amazing and my sister with great difficulty, managed to still accept me.I also got help at a rehab. Extremely good- Riverview, Underberg, KwaZulu Natal.
My life was grey and worthless at that time but now there is clour but it doesn't just happen, its a choice you have to make. You can't wish your life away so I say: If your going to life you may as well make the most of it!!
There is so much to be thankful for in life. Nobody is perfect not even in the magazines or the television- most of it is edited. IT'S FAKE!
We are all beautiful...
After every storm there is a rainbow. When you are ready paint your own rainbow. I chose to paint mine:-)
