After she got dressed, she twirled a ballerina twirl and asked "how do I look mommy?"
I paused for a moment (choosing my words very carefully) then I said to her,
"Wow Kaylee, you make that dress look so pretty!"
I spoke those words to my daughter so that her ears would hear and her soul would understand.
Beauty is a virtue found within. The threads we wear are only an expression of what lies inside. Our clothes, our jewelry, our hair, our skin, our bodies -- they are only manifestations of what is going on inside.
They are mere manifestations so minute in comparison to its origin. Love yourself Kaylee, because it is the purest form of pretty.
