What a great article!! I think we all need to read this every single day. A very dear friend of mine once gave me a list of my positive attributes (things I never, ever saw in myself, but that she saw in me), and she told me to tape it to my mirror and read it each morning. That was nearly two years ago, and I still have that listed taped up, and I still have a hard time believing everything on that list! I do try, though, and it has helped me immensely on my journey towards reclaiming my self-esteem that I'd lost over a period of many years. I like the thought that we're all 20% more beautiful than we realize. I'm going to pass this on to my teenage daughter who lately I think has started looking at herself with the eyes of a critic.
