Beauty Within
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 you'll never walk alone.
People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed and redeemed; Never throw out anybody.
Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you'll find one at the end of your arm.
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 mole, but true beauty in a Woman is reflected in her soul. It is the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she knows.
And the beauty of a woman, with passing years only grows!

Audrey Hepburn worked with UNICEF as an ambassador for their great work.
Today the list of people inspired by the work continues to grow.
As is reflected in the verse above, true beauty is in the soul.
It is the caring we give and the passion we know.
This beauty goes beyond gender.
It goes beyond race.
It is within all.
It is all.







An ODE to my soul-mate on this our 39th Wedding Anniversary.
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.
There IS NO greater LOVE than LIFE - LIFE IS what happens while we are making other plans - LIFE IS either a daring adventure or NOTHING - or indeed BOTH at the same time - and obstacles are the elixir of LIFE that have brought us a successful LIFE together - THANK YOU for sharing YOUR LIFE with me.
ALL my LOVE mickel
