Friday Frills



I believe that within me lies an extraordinary radiance, 
and I commit to letting my light loose on the world. 

I believe that the source of my power and wisdom is in the center of my being, 
and I commit to acting from this place of strength. 

I believe that I possess an abundance of passion and creative potential, 
and I commit to the expression of these gifts. 

I believe that the time has come to let go of old notions and unhealthy attitudes, 
and I commit to re-examine what I've been told about beauty and dismiss what insults my soul. 

I believe that negative thoughts and words compromise my well-being, 
and I commit to thinking and speaking positively about myself and others. 

I believe that young women are in need of positive role models, 
and I commit to being an example of authenticity and self love. 

I believe in the relationship to care for my body with respect, kindness and compassion. 
I commit to balancing my life in such a way that my physical being is fully expressed and nurtured. 

I believe that joy is essential part of wellness, 
and I commit to removing any obstacles to joy and creating a life that is full of exuberance. 

I believe that a woman who loves herself is a powerful, passionate and attractive force 
and I commit from this day forward to loving myself deeply and extravagantly.

    Thanks so much for your awesome comment and congratulations! Haha! I guess I'm kinda private about my personal life (I've always been like that). But the Elie Saab dresses had me so excited that I had to share the news :)

  26. I always look so forward to your Friday Frills - as it appears many of your readers do! (That just speaks to how lovely and genuine you are dear.) I always end up printing out your Friday posts and hanging them up, they're so inspiring and they always make me want to work towards being a better person.
    I am going to have a frivolous moment and say that this that is such a dreamy dress, I cant get over the skirt on it, it's so beautifully made. And then I realized there was an adorable bunny and it was compete love for me. I LOVE bunnies! I use to have one when I was little, I use to let her out of her pen all of the time so I could see my godfather try to catch her with a net. (I was very naughty and he was always so kind to catch my little bunny, he loved animals so much that he'd make her little toys to play with.)
    Sorry, got a little off track there! (It was the bunny. Too cute.)

  29. Sam you continue to make every friday so positive and uplifting with the way you bring us these beautiful quotes and poems. I love these beautiful lines, one that really speak to me is "I believe that young women are in need of positive role models and I commit to being an example of authenticity and self love." Stunning and so true :)

    Take care,

  31. Sam, I love this quote, absolute fantastic and very inspiring! The parts I loved most are 2:"I believe that negative thoughts and words compromise my well-being, and I commit to thinking and speaking positively about myself and others" and "I believe that joy is essential part of wellness,
    and I commit to removing any obstacles to joy and creating a life that is full of exuberance". So so true!! I proved that if you think positive without mental drama you live better and keep to be concentrated, as well I think that happiness and laughter make you feel well, and need to laugh also when everything seems to be wrong because in a way or other it will be fixed!:) You know in what believe dear, in ourselves and the big potential everyone has inside:)) Kisses and happy friday!!:*
