Words of Wisdom
Beauty is not in the face; beauty is a light in the heart.
~ Khalil Gibran
With something to think about . . .What comes to mind when you hear the word beauty? Do you think of physical beauty or the beauty that can shine from one's heart? A multi-billion-dollar industry has been built for the sole purpose of encouraging us to develop and maintain an attractive appearance. But appearance by definition means "facade." Imagine if that much money and effort went into teaching young people the greater importance of kindness, compassion and respect as the true hallmarks of beauty. We have a wonderful opportunity to counter what mass marketing sells. We can teach our students that true beauty does not reside in our outer shell, but in the light of our hearts.
Remember to take care of yourself.
Retreat to a place where you can be still and focus on ways to spread kindness and compassion.
Happy Birthday!
