Sad and Glad...

I need to give credit where credit is due. I found these videos thanks to my blogging idol Stacie at Twinkies. If you haven't checked out her blog already you should. It has a LOT of great insightful posts (such as but not limited too - this one, this one, and this one). These videos make me sad. Sad that I will have to compete with the media in explaining to both my children what beauty is...they also make me glad -- glad that Dove is being so brave and sticking to their campaign for real beauty. Thank goodness there is a corporation fighting the good fight.
Check it out...



Also, if you have time check out this post from WhyMommy. For that matter check out any post by WhyMommy. She floors me on a daily basis.
By the way -- I think you are beautiful -- just the way you are.

PS. In case you didn't know -- It's Breast Cancer Awareness Month. So head on over to thebreastcancersite.com and click on a little button. It is easy, totally free, and I quote, "Your click on the "Click Here to Give - it's FREE" button helps fund free mammograms for women in need — low-income, inner-city and minority women whose awareness of breast cancer and opportunity for help is often limited. Your click is paid for by site sponsors, and mammogram funding is provided to clinics throughout the U.S. through the efforts of the National Breast Cancer Foundation."
So, Just do it. Pretty Please.
