In one of my day travels, I was in a store doing a little marketing for my book "Mutts and Thoroughbreds:A Girls' Guide" @ http://www.amazon.com/ and just conversing about life and taking time out of our busy lives to devote more time to our outer beauty. In the midst of the conversation, one of the mothers said that she doesn't believe she's beautiful. I had to ask her again is this really what she thinks, she said, "yes." I had to ask her why? She said, "In her eyes other women were more beautiful than she." I told her to the contrary, in Gods world she was wonderfully and beautifully made. Sometimes we get so bogged down caring for everyone else but ourselves as women. More often, we don't feel appreciated of all the hard work that we do and the long hours that we put in on a daily basis to make everything just right. I know we don't get the many thanks that we deserve but you do what you have to do to keep a roof of your families head and food on the table. Because of this some of us forget about our inner and outer beauty.
I told her to never forget what I am about to tell her because you are the most beautiful person in the world. She had a little boy with her and I asked if that was her son, she said, "yes." I told her that when her son looks at his mother; he doesn't care if she's not on the cover of Victoria Secrets wearing a swimsuit and air brushed. He doesn't care if she doesn't wear the title of Miss America or Miss Universe. He doesn't care that your nose isn't perfectly aligned asymmetrically with your face. He doesn't see that your dress isn't Vera Wang exclusive. He doesn't see that your teeth aren't perfectly white and straight. He doesn't see that you need a boob lift, lipo or a tummy tuck. It doesn't bother him if you don't have on make up or not. He doesn't care about all those imperfections that you wish you could get rid of.
Let me tell you about the most beautiful woman in his world. The most beautiful woman in the world to him is the one he calls "Mom." Your touch is soft as silk. Your words are soothing and benevolent. Your eyes makes him feel safe and protected. He loves you more than you love yourself. In his eyes you are perfect just the way you are. So don't ever say you aren't beautiful because to your beautiful child - You are the most beautiful woman in the world! After this...She looked at her son who was looking at his mother with a confused look..She cried and hugged him.
For those women who don't think they are beautiful - Look at your child - You are Beautiful!

That was well said! and I encourage you to keep writing and putting your thoughts on paper. You have a gift and so many people can benefit from it. I too believe that we as women should always believe that we have inner and outer beauty regardless of how we see ourselves. Take care and stay positively blessed!
