Audrey Hepburn's "beauty tips".

"For attractive lips, speak words of kindness.

For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.

For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.

For beautiful hair, let a child run his or her fingers through it once a day.

For poise, walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone.

People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed and redeemed; never throw out anyone.

Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you'll find one at the end of each of your arms. As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself, the other for helping others.

The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides.

The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mode, but the true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul.

It is the caring that she lovingly gives the passion that she shows.

The beauty of a woman grows with the passing years."

"Get thee HENCE"

There has never been more expected of the faithful than NOW. It's weird to think of how TRUE that statement is. We DAILY go through things that our parents and grand parents never would have imagined. It makes me wonder how much worse will it be when I have children?? How more wicked can the world become?? How cunning Satan must have been to lead a third, a THIRD, of the host of Heaven away from the very PRESENCE of God. To of seen our Heavenly Father, know of his goodness and LOVE. But to still be swayed to the darkness is astonishing to me. But if Satan took so many of my brothers and sisters then, how much EASIER must it be for him now?? I hope and pray constantly that we as disciples of Christ will have the strength to say, "Get thee Hence Satan".

A Brand NEW Year

There has been SO many good times and laughs. But also so many tears. I for one know I wouldn't trade these memories for anything. To all of you who've shared in my triumphs, failures, good times, and laughs. Thanks, I couldn't ask for a better group of friends. So as I close the year of 2009 I look to 2010 with HOPE. For less tears and more joy. To start the NEW YEAR with new resolutions. Have you made some?? I hope so, cause I have!! And here they are!!

1. STOP popping my knuckles
2. Get into a good, HEALTHY routine (early to bed, gym, eat healthy, therapy)
3. Only say GOOD things about others
"If you can't say anything NICE, don't say ANYTHING at all"
4. Show the LOVE and appreciation I feel to my family, loved ones, and friends.


Happy New Year!
