Women are strange. I'm one of them...so I know. Many of us have this major problem of not knowing how to accept a compliment when it's given. Anytime I get one, I either question the person's intelligence, or their sanity. I noticed today that anytime a woman was given any sort of acknowledgement for their talents or God-given gifts, they looked at the floor. Why is that? Is it humility? Maybe...but I actually think it comes from the inability to see in ourselves who and what we truly are. Amazing individuals. Are we perfect? Of course not(although I like to tell people otherwise). But that doesn't mean we don't have perfect things ABOUT us. We are all special in some way, whether it's our ability to cook, listen to others, or tell people what they need to hear in the way they need to hear it. SO I suppose it all starts with being able to accept a compliment when it's given. Maybe if we can just do that, we can start to see what that person sees. Now THAT is a great beginning.

I am amazed at how much woman hate themselves...watching an Oprah episode showed me that there are so many woman who hate who they are! it's soooo sad and breaks my heart! my mom can't take a compliment! it has always bothered me! I told her the greatest gift she could give me is to allow me to love her. Allow people to compliment you, love you, thank you, that is one of the bigger strengths! our bodies will be the MOST amaZinG things we will EVER own!
