Beautiful People

So, let me tell you a little about me.

On the surface I have probably come across as a very confident person.  I have a distinct style, wacky sense of humour and a really firm stance on things that I like and those that I don't.  I am not shy.  I can walk up to anyone and start a conversation.  Oh, and I'm usually dressed in some crazy stilettos!
All of elements of a confident woman, right?
Well, maybe.
On the other hand, until recently I have never really actually FELT confident. Without actually FEELING confident on the inside, I was left instead feeling really insecure.  Maybe the reason that I have some of my other overt attributes that I have was to protect my poor insecure self.  If I appeared confident the judging and rudeness from others wouldn't hurt.
But, as I approach my 40's, I didn't want to feel like this anymore.  So that got me thinking about why I didn't feel good about myself on the inside.  The answer: because I was leaving my opinion of myself and my opportunity for confidence in the hands of others....
...and there always will be people who try to bring you down and leave your confidence in ruins. 

Want to know a secret? 
There is not a single person in the whole entire world that owns that right.  It is with your gifting to them that they acquire the opportunity to play with your confidence.
Once I realised this secret, my level of confidence changed. 
People may continue to judge me, but I don't really give a flying hoot!
My liking myself and confidence is like fitness, something that doesn't just happen.  I have to stay dedicated and work on it everyday.  But, also like fitness, the results are worth it every minute of everyday!

As the lyrics in our website song state "Don't let them bring you down.  Your beauty is inside of you."
