With each snide remark, I found my heart challenged. I respect the fact that one person’s success can create Confidence Conflicts for others, but I wasn’t prepared for the emotional battle that…

Is Fashion Foolish?
My grandmother was known around Wellfleet as, “the lady with the hair.” She died at 67 still having a long, red mane, which was always tied back loosely with a simple scarf. As a little girl I was in awe of her confident beauty. Some people think it is shallow, selfish or vain that so…

Selfie-Validation
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…

Naked and Unashamed
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…

A Partial Reflection of God
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. That is what Eve’s beauty…

Let Them Stare!
And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose. Romans 8:28 I was pregnant with Rebecca when the doctors were trying to count her fingers and thought maybe she didn’t have them all because she held them so tight and…
