    As I get older I find I don"t need compliments to make me feel good about myself. I hate seeing women berate and put themselves down on this website. I try to help pick them up as much as I can. I work with children and find that self esteem can be damaged at a very young age. I had this 6 year old that was very heavy for her age. She had her hair hanging in her face and was doing poorly in school. So I decided to see if I could do something to help her out. So every morning I would tell her how nice she looked that day, and every afternoon I would tell her how smart she was. After about 3 months of this I noticed her hair was brushed, she was standing a little taller and her grades went from dismal to great. Words are very powerful. They can be used for good or evil. Light or dark. Light someones candle, brighten their life.

    A very sweet thing to say! I am definitely my own worst critic, but it doesn't help also when you have your mother breathing down her own expectations down your neck. So, its nice to see such a darling thing every once in awhile (especially if its not coming from my boyfriend).
