Beauty

Posted in Blog | 0 comments

The old axiom that “beauty is in the eye of the beholder” just doesn’t really apply when we are talking about people. With people, beauty is really in the heart of the individual. So much of a person’s beauty comes from how they feel about themselves. Those feelings, in turn, dictate how a person presents themselves.

A beholder may find beauty in an individual but if that individual doesn’t feel that way internally how far can that adoration take them? Can an outside influence change how a person feels about themselves?

I am just coming out of a long term relationship, lifelong in fact, with inner ugliness. Before you cry buckets of tears for me just know that I had a happy childhood and have a loving, sweet husband. For 16 plus years my dear husband has made a concerted effort to get me to see my own beauty. But my inner eyes were closed to it.

I was inundated every day with the idea that beauty was about my haircut and my clothes and especially about the size that I wore. The right haircut didn’t work. The clothes never looked as good at home as they seemed to in the store. I just couldn’t measure up to the standard that others set. Yet, I refused to set my own standard. I was constantly comparing myself to others and finding myself wanting.

One day I found myself in a really bad situation and realized that I was giving more than could be reasonably expected. For just a glimmer of a moment I saw in myself a worth, a beauty. It changed everything. The yard stick by which I had measured myself had changed. I began to set my own standard and found that my haircut and weight had very little to do with my beauty.

The funny thing is once I started to open my eyes to my own beauty I found a diet that worked for me. I got the best haircut of my life, everyone noticed. I even got compliments on some of the oldest items in my wardrobe.

I wear a smile a lot more. I like color and try all sorts of different styles I never did before. I experiment more with hairstyles instead of wearing the same style everyday . But these things aren’t what make me feel beautiful they are expressions of the beauty I already feel.

And when I don’t feel beautiful now, I recognize that it is going on inside me. I have been endowed with the power to overcome those “ugly” things in me. Just as you have. I can’t hide it under makeup or behind a designer outfit but I can work to change it….from the inside out.

This business was born out of this awareness. It is all about finding beauty in the world and in myself. I invite you to express your beauty with my love for flowers.

But mostly, I invite you to love yourself and to change what you can’t love!
