I turned my backside toward the bathroom mirror and peeked over my shoulder. Dimples? Lots of dimples. Ugh.
My middle child told me the other day, “I’m not pretty.” She is drop-dead gorgeous. Gray eyes that sometimes turn blue or green. Lashes that go on forever. In jest (but in all seriousness!), I say,
“Stop lying or I’ll have to put you over my knee.”
“You wouldn’t mom, would you?”
“Just try me.”
I smile big. She smiles big.
My eldest is 20 and, of course, gorgeous. Chocolate brown eyes, perfect eye brows, thick hair that she used to hate because it wasn’t stick straight. She doesn’t like how she looks in a swim suit. What woman does?
In my counseling, so many, many women say they’re ugly. They have a warped mirror. What about you? Do you embrace yourself, your shape, size, color, your uniqueness?
Please watch this short music video and listen carefully to the last verse. It’ll touch you deep. Turn down my music player first and leave a comment if you have a moment. Thanks.

Lucy,
I love this song and its message. My daughter is the one who introduced it to me the first time I heard it.
Thank you for shining light into the darkness and helping to set prisoners free.
Hugs,
Cheri
Thanks for putting this up. I found your site through Britt Nicole’s myspace. My mom had told me to watch this video months ago, but I procrastinated and only just watched it on here. I’m 21 and it’s really hard to feel up to all the pressure from the world to look perfect. This was really encouraging. Thank you so much!
