Let What You Love, Be What You Do

Although I am biased, I think my daughter is the most beautiful girl in the world, and today, I watched her transform into a young lady just shy of princess status. Today is her junior year Homecoming dance, and her younger brother is attending for his freshman year.

Although I love fashion and clothes, my daughter was never overly interested in investing time into her appearance. I have always been thankful her concerns and focus are in other areas besides her beauty, and sometimes I think it even adds more to her attractiveness.

People tell her she should model since she has the height, figure and features to go into modeling as a career, and she politely tells them she isn't interested. Sometimes I secretly hope she will change her mind, but I believe in "Let what you love, be what you do." It is the only way she will live a fulfilled life.

So Homecoming is the day where I get to help her style herself into a a head turner and purchase classic rhinestone jewelry I will add to my collection. She politely smiles her beautiful smile and says "Thanks, Mom. Love you."
