As parents we can't change what society or the media deems as beautiful. We can only share with our children regardless of gender the meaning of what true beauty is from the inside out. I don't want my daughters to just to see themselves as beautiful; I want them to see everyone as beautiful. I pray that in some way as I embrace my inner beauty as a woman that my girls will grow in appreciation in walking fully in confidence knowing who they are inside and out.

Our mothers would sit in their chairs in the yard in deep adult conversation that we dare not to interject in. We didn't live in a quiet suburb. We lived smacked down in the inner city. Life wasn't easy for any of us, but it was a community of happy kids.

Frick & Frack : A Forever Bond
I remember our side eyed connection that we shared growing up as children when we were both laughing from the inside about something.
