It was amazing because I felt absolutely no judgement or criticism from any of them! This is true feminine power my friends!!! I once was jaded and cynical towards women ~ we can be so catty and critical towards each other sometimes and I had been hurt and wounded before. But beauty is not a competition! I believe we are all beautiful! And I believe in the sisterhood of women!
See? Look at these beautiful ladies!!!
We had lots of different classes
from understanding our own
gifts and talents through the
to how to accessorize and build an outfit,
to hair styling,
a parade of beauty runway show
and even health and fitness specific to our types.
And the food???
oh.my.goodness!!!
To~die~for~YUMMINESS!!!
I came away with so many ideas! First ~ that I want to play with colors and patterns more. Second ~ that there are many layers of self acceptance:
1~ It's OK to be me!
2~ It's FUN to be me!
3~ It is actually a GIFT to be me!
4~ That there is actually a PURPOSE
for me to be ME!
But my absolute favorite part of the conference was this:
The beauty mantras!
Remember when I told you mine? Well, we all brought ours and wrote them on a banner and let me tell you, reading all those declarations of inner and outward beauty in their own handwriting nearly brought me to tears! It was so remarkably moving!
I was on a high all weekend long! Let me tell you, this woman can really put on an event!
This is a conference I want to take my daughter to next year! There was such an amazing atmosphere of love and acceptance! I left feeling truly affirmed, safe and accepted for just being myself. It is such a gift to feel that and I wish every woman could feel that way about themselves. Imagine how different the world would be if everyone truly knew that!

If you have ever doubted your worth or your own unique beauty, then you owe it to yourself to learn more about the Dressing Your Truth system and how amazing you already are! It is so much more than just fashion advice! Then we could hang out together at next years event!

Love this, Becca. One of these days when my little ones are a bit bigger, we will have to go to some of these events....
ReplyDeleteYay! I'm glad you're finally on the Sisterhood bandwagon! ;-)
ReplyDeleteAnne! You totally have to come with me next time! I'm serious!!! It would be good for you! Very therapeutic and reassuring!!! ;)
ReplyDeleteRCH ~ I wondered if you would catch that! I didn't want to come right out and say, "Yo! Sisters! Remember that one time we had that one converstation...?" You know? LOL! But yeah! I've healed from whatever traumatic experience led me to be so bitter that one time. I don't even remember what it was about anymore! See? I can heal from phone phobias AND not believing in the sisterhood! :D
