Reinventing Yourself

I was channel surfing last night and I was able to catch some segments of Moments. It is Net 25 talk show that showcases moms of different sizes and styles. Last night, show host Gladys Reyes was interviewing 1973 Miss World 1st runner-up Evangeline Pascual and she was a brilliant speaker. Rarely, could you see someone talk like her. She speaks both with grace and essence. She is the epitome of a real beauty queen. She mentioned of a quote from one actress (which according to Google was Audrey Hepburn) which talks about how women can stay beautiful. I googled it up right away and I am writing the phrase in full below.

"For Attractive lips, speak words of kindness.
 For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.
 For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.
 For beautiful hair, let a child run their fingers through it once a day.
 For poise, walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone.
 People, more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed. Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you will find one at the end of each of your arms.
 As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself and the other for helping others."

She was also giving an advice to Moms not to be afraid in reinventing themselves. She said not to go within the conformity that the society is dictating over moms. She said that we have to love ourselves in order to have the love that we seek from others. She even mentioned that she has embraced the fact that being a mom is from the womb to the tomb. And because , she mentions about moms reinventing themselves once in awhile then I have made up my mind. I will go and get my haircut within this month and yes, I will be posing my new look on this site.
