    If you have ever been in an uncomfortable situation, you know that your confidence is the first thing affected. Think about the last time you found yourself shaking in your boots.

    Anyone who steps out of a nice, hot shower and puts on her old, dirty clothing is a fool. Yet we all do this from time to time. Okay, maybe not with our physical clothing, but when it comes to emotional garments, far too often we choose to wear that which is old and ugly.…

    When my little boy was acting up, I would often ask, “Do you need a time-out or a hug?” I was learning the ropes of parenting as a single mom and I was never really sure how to discipline correctly. Sometimes kids act up because they are hungry or lonely. It’s hard to know what they…

    Don’t you just love social media? Really, when you have a need for validation, all you have to do is post a selfie and wait for all the comments to come in. Or not. Silence on the internet can be brutal to a girl’s confidence. So can some of the comments. Why, then, do girls…

    A bad-hair day is not the only thing that will rock a girl’s confidence. I can think of many other confidence conflicts, how about you?

    Romantics are full-figured women, or at least they have a curvy structure, very often a figure 8. I would say that about 75% of the Romantics I know developed their beautiful curves at a very young age. Some hit puberty when they are still children, although they are not the only Img.IDs that may develop…

    It may seem like a “Christianeze” to say you were created to be “like God” because this is not an easy concept to grasp, depending on what you have experienced in life. Most of us have an especially hard time trying to grasp the idea that a woman’s desire to be beautiful is actually part…

    Pure beauty is healing; that is why we send flowers to the grieving heart. It is powerful. It is meant to inspire others to become better, stronger and more relaxed and confident; that is why we vacation in beautiful resorts. Your beauty should bring peace, joy and energy to others.
