Mary Brown brings us some refreshing thoughts on beauty in her post around Dove’s new ad and how popular TV is responding. We’ve become accustomed, if not brainwashed, to believe that beauty is defined by a Victoria’s Secret model.
If beauty is age specific only, then be afraid, be very afraid. Say it ain’t so!
Here’s my criteria for beauty in a woman:
- A soul surrendered to God. A woman of this variety is the closest thing on earth to heaven.
- A care for her looks and adornment. Notice, I said care and not preoccupation.
- Knows her values and is aligned with them.
- Has a nurturing heart and mind.
- Fights for those that cannot fight for themselves.
- She is vulnerable.
- Accepts that it is OK to be a woman.
That’s my list. You may have a different one, but we can agree that beauty is not age specific. Right?
