This Month’s Quote:

 

This month many of us will venture out of our usual self to create a new persona in hopes to get treats…. or tricks, hey I don’t judge.

Don’t you just love a slutty pumpkin?  (Yes, another HIMYM reference)I never did the whole slutty: pumpkin, Elmo, candy corn or  french maid.  One year, I did get all Sandra Dee’d, black pleather pants, black top, and more makeup than usual, it was fun.  I remember my friends were excited to see my transformation, and to be completely honest I was too.  Did I feel beautiful?  I don’t know if I would say that, but I did look pretty darn good. :::sigh:::

However, makeup, pleather pants, and liquid courage didn’t equal beauty.  The beauty came when Sandra “Dean” was okay, with just being Sandra “Dean“.   Beauty…. it’s truly not the exterior.  It’s the minute you start to fit in your skin, know who you are, and own it. And as easy is that was to type, somedays it’s hard to remember that for myself.

The days when I would like to put a mask on or dress up as someone else… those days, I need to remember this….

*You’re loved

*You’re quirky, and that’s okay. Laughter is medicine, you’re a laugh Doctor, own it. {PHD in jokes and silliness}

*You love, and you love hard, that’s a beautiful thing.

*You’ve come a long way, baby.

* Your mothering is beautiful, which makes you beautiful.  Sure you may mother 75% of the time in your jammie pants, but you do it with love. You’re there, engaged— that’s beautiful.

* Your heart, you share it, and yes it’s been taken for a spin, but you still share it.

*PCOS is not a beauty stealer, only if you allow it. Hello, Victoria Beckham & Jillian Michaels haven’t let PCOS bring them down, neither will you.

* DON’T COMPARE WOMAN!

*Happiness, beams through your skin.  You cannot buy the happiness glow, be happy.

* You don’t have to be afraid of who you are… let it out!

I’m not going to be a slutty pumpkin, I’ll be me, but I may dress up as someone or something else ONLY on Halloween.  What about you, beautiful?
