Thanx for the comment and the link. :) All women are beautiful. Getting old sucks but I truly believe if your beautiful on the inside that it shows on the outside. ;) I’d much rather be a sapphire then a diamond any day.

I almost cried. I hate being referred to as a fruit. I know that most people use these terms to describe our shape, but there must be a nicer way to call my shape. So I decided to do some research... I found a website that actually uses much better terms to describe our bodies. They use jewel types……what a great idea and way to describe our bodies! I am no longer “pear shaped…..instead I am “sapphire” shaped. I like that sooo much better. The website is <a href="http://www.holobi.com" rel="nofollow">www.holobi.com</a>.., kudos to them for thinking of this. My sister is a “diamond”…I hate her.

It is through a sharing of experiences that you, and so many other women having the same thoughts and feeling that you are currently experiencing, won't feel so alone and isolated. I began The Beautiful Women Project when I was thirty five - I didn't feel beautiful, but noticed all of these women around me who were so beautiful, not because of their physical attributes, but because of this shine that they had coming through them. I desperately wanted to learn what they had, what did they know that I didn't get yet? So, I met thirty five women ages three through ninety and what I learned from them was so simple: Beauty is the sum of a woman's life experiences. Your physical body is such a small part of your overall beauty. Those laugh lines are years of happiness. The freckles...summers with your friends and family. Take a moment and read a selection of the women's stories at www.beautifulwomenproject.org and click on galleries. The book, Beautiful Women Celebrating Beauty in Stories and Stills (Bridgeway, 2008) is available on Amazon.com, the Beautiful Women web site, or in your local book retailer. Let me know what you think. Nancy I think that you are very brave for not only recognizing your own insecurities, but for sharing them with, well…the world.
