Article: You are beautiful. You are perfect....Just the way you are

One of my favorite articles and image on the OH Blog is written by Angela Taylor who is the Licensed Clinical Social Worker for the Khalili Center.  Angela was one of the speakers at our 2014 OH Conference.  Check out the article and video of Angela as she discusses "You are beautiful.  You are perfect...Just the way you are."

What are your thoughts about it?

My thoughts: That's easy for her to say. 

The rest of us have a different reality. Angela Taylor lives in her world, in which she is lovely by every measure and standard. I live in my world, where I'm verging on hideous. Sure, I've got beauty inside, but to be realistic, my outside is simply not beautiful. I do get tired of people making those sweeping pronouncements based on **nothing**. They do not make me feel better; they make life worse. Stop it, Angela--or was I not meant to eavesdrop on your pep talk to the top 5% crowd?
