What Is Beautiful About YOU?
I have been stuck on the couch for a week due to some kind of spine/neck/pinched nerve problem which has made my left hand feel fat and asleep, so I’ve done little typing. I am giving it a go today because I felt inspired.
I am very involved with the drama club at my daughter’s school, where I have come to be known as “Mama Bartlett.” I spend a lot of time with the drama kids during productions and they come to me with all sorts of interesting observations. I feel blessed to know these kids because they are so dedicated and talented, and with me they are quite open and friendly. However, this group of teens are no different though than any other – there are self-esteem issues.
I booted up my laptop this morning to find my daughter had left a Youtube screen opened it immediatly started running. Her friend was singing and I was amazed by her friend – so many of her friends have wonderful singing abilities, something I wish I had. Anyway, I peeked at her list of videos on her page and found this one, titled “Beautiful” and was not only thrilled with the topic of all the things she finds beautiful about herself, but also that I got a little mention! That made me smile. It was evidence of the impact we can have on others. This can also be said of the negative things we do and say.
I also love the way she edited the video! Adorable! Creative!
I think this should be a trend. Maybe I should do one too, of the things I like about myself.
If you do create one, please send me the link so I can post it here on Body Politics!
YOU GO GIRLS!
(I have not used her name since I didn’t know if that was ok with her or her parents, but if it is, I’ll add it later.)
