My friend and I went to a fashion show tonight where there were many women wearing cute little cocktail and evening dresses. We had decided to go the comfortable route, though. I was in leggings and a long top with silver sequin designs while my friend wore a fun top with dark blue jeans and flats.
As we stepped onto the red carpet to take pictures, I suddenly felt a twinge of self consciousness take over.

I always like to discover different perspectives and definitions of beauty - especially from young women. In this video, high school girls from Australia share what true beauty means to them.
I love flowers. My favorite subjects in my paintings are flowers. When I go walking in the neighborhood, I always stop to admire the beautiful flowers in my neighbor's yards. And if you follow me on Flickr, you would notice all the flower photos I've taken over the years.
Once upon a time I would watch the show, What Not to Wear, and criticize it for attempting to transform a woman’s appearance. I would think, “Let the woman wear what she wants to! If that’s who she is, why would you want to try to change her?”
Well, I’ve grown up since then and came to realize how the show has helped women go from being a caterpillar to being a butterfly. I had to admit, that yes, the women looked so much better after Stacy and Clinton worked their magic. You could see the sparkle come back into their eyes and catch a glimpse of the potential they had to truly shine. Stacy and Clinton could take a woman who wore frumpy sweats all day and put a flattering dress on her...and we would witness the transformation in an instant.

A smile is a great accessory to have. When you smile, your whole face lights up and you radiate positive energy into the world.
