Live Beautifully Stories

I feel my most beautiful when I realize that every moment I spend "hating" my body is a moment I will never get back in life. So, I celebrate the beauty of my body- and of life- instead!

My most beautiful moment was when my hair fell out someone told me I was still beautiful. And I still feel beautiful as the person within everyday.

I feel beautiful when I smile at people and they smile back.

I feel beautiful when a blind client that I work with tells me that I am beautiful. After all, that's who I want to think that I am beautiful because beauty isn't something you see its something that you are.

The best way to live beautifully is to treat others as you would like to be treated. This somehow escapes from your inner self and you find yourself being very positively supportive of others without even thinking of it. This is a good example to have for your children as they do pick up on it also. Fran

I love to help other people the best I can . I try my best to make them feel special in every part of their life . Thats what really makes me feel beautiful. I also like to try a new look , maybe change my hair color or buy a new bra and panties - something to make myself feel sexy.

I simply pause to look at the sunrise each morning. Here in Oklahoma, the skies are perpetually changing - the rich colors at such a quiet time of the day gives me a sense of peace and also of privilege. I feel so fortunate to have this experience everytime I step outside my bedroom in the morning; it also reminds me to look for the beauty surrounding me everywhere I go.

There's nothing that makes me feel more beautiful that when I'm sitting at my drawing table creating my art.

I make handmade greeting cards which use a variety of materials combined with an inspirational quotation. This creative process, which results in a greeting card which is then bought by a store and sold to someone who then mails it to someone else to cheer, encourage, or wish one well, is extremely rewarding.

And when I'm contacted by someone who receives my card and they tell me how it's touched their life, that's the most beautiful feeling of all.

I try to appreciate the beautiful things that surround me....the flowers I just planted, my dog and cat, and the mamma duck who lives on the pond in my backyard with her three babies. She and her mate return to my pond every year and when I see them I know that spring has arrived.

I take time to pamper myself. I surround myself with beautiful things like flowers and pretty home furnishings. I live beautifully on the inside by nurturing my spirit at church.
