This is a photo of when I had the absolute pleasure and DELIGHT to get to meet my newest little niece the other weekend!
And since then I haven't stopped thinking about her.... I mean look at her! What a spectacular little love bucket, right?!
Her perfect little nose, her darling little hand holding my coat, and that expression on her face!!!
You guys.... THIS!
.
Because this little girl (and all little girls) are beauty abundance. This is part of our true and natural state...to be the greatest beauty that walks this earth.
When I see her I am in awe. When I hold her it brings me to tears. She takes my breath away.
And I want to keep her beauty-knowing safe. I want her to know that she will always be beautiful.
It is so painful to imagine a day when she grows up and someone might tell her a lie. That she is not pretty enough.
That she doesn't fit into whatever is the *latest idea* of what beauty is supposed to be. The lie (nonsense!) that the title beauty is only available to a SMALL portion of the *entire population*. When the truth is all women are beautiful.
I want her to know that if someone one day tries to separate her from her beauty-knowing then it is they who are in the wrong.
... You are beautiful sweetheart and you always will be. Love, Auntie
