On a serious note.

I've started a collage journal. One of my room mates does it and it intrigued me so I've started and I think it's really cool. While browsing through a magazine I found this quote that has caused me to think a long a few different lines.

"When a woman becomes her own best friend life is easier"

How true is that? When you don't like yourself nothing seems to go right. You don't treatyourself as you should and in turn you don't have other people treat you as they should. You think you deserve less then you really do.

Too many women today try to fit into what society wants. We strive to be some perfect person and go to extreme lengths to achieve it. We try to be as skinny, as beautiful, and as desired as the hollywood stars. But the fact is we won't ever get there and why would we want to? They aren't even HAPPY!

We should strive to become the women God wants us to be. And that starts with loving ourselves and viewing ourselves the way God does, as his precious daughters. He doesn't care about our dress size, the zits we have on our face, or the size of our nose. He cares about how we treat ourselves and others. He cares about the service and love we give to ourselves and to those around us.

To sum up, Life won't ever be easy, but it doesn't have to be as hard as we sometimes make it. So do yourself a favor and take a good look in the mirror and tell yourself how awesome you are and how much you love that you are you. Write a list of why you are fabulous.Treat yourself to a spa because you deserve it. Count your blessings. Smile more and never take a day for granted. Become your own best friend and wait and see how life becomes a little easier.
