Friend, Mona and I, while running this morning, were discussing our self images and what has worked in our life to form those images. Mona was telling me that no matter what stage of "little girl" she was in that her Daddy & Mother always made her feel beautiful and special. She laughed and said even as a teenager with zits and braces, she was told how beautiful she was. WHAT A BLESSING! She has a wonderful self image and appreciation for her own beauty until today because of the positive affirmation given by her parents. Little did her Daddy and Momma know how important their words would be ALWAYS in her portrayal of how she felt about the woman she would look at in the mirror everyday.
I do not have a very good self image. For that reason, I always tried to tell my daughter how beautiful she is. As beautiful as she is-inside and out-I have never seen her more beautiful than these months of carrying sweet Baby J. To borrow over-used but never mundane words, "She absolutely glows." Her Daddy told me she absolutely looked like a model in this picture that she posted of "Week 31". I have always tried to affirm Camille and Bless her with the positives that we all wish to hear. She is truly beautiful-but never more beautiful than as a Mother To Be.
Happy Valentine's Day, To My Little Sweetie-The Most Beautiful Woman In The World!

Awww shucks, Mom! Thanks!
I told Camille that is an amazing picture of her.
And I totally agree that parents (especially fathers) have a huge role in shaping their daughter's self-image. Wouldn't it be amazing if every father told their daughters how beautiful and precious they are to them?
isn't it amazing that the more beautiful a person is on the inside, the more they are on the outside; it seems as though, sometimes, the more we get to know someone's heart, the outside appearance changes, becoming more appealing...
and, yes, she looks amazing; you must be so proud, but, i am sure, that is an understatement...
The photo of Camille is awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What a treasure she is!!
She gets that honest...she is so blessed to have you as her mom.
