I have gorgeous friends. After spending the weekend with them, I am reminded that their beauty is so much deeper than the money they each could earn off of it.
What does beautiful really look like?
Beautiful is the way Christy loves her children. There is nothing she would not do to keep her children safe and feeling loved. As we rode through Dogwood Canyon she took a nasty fall on her bike because her son stopped too quickly and she didn't want to run him down. The beauty lasted all weekend as she never reminded him or the group of the mishap. Her children find comfort in her and in her strength. She is the kind of mom that puts her self behind their needs and feelings. She is beautiful, she is selfless.
Beautiful is Stacey. She keeps her camera so close not wanting to miss a moment of all of our lives. I cannot tell you how many times she has captured a moment that would not have been captured otherwise. Those moments we will all be passing down to our grandchildren as they see firsthand some of the grand adventures we've had as a group. If you spend any time at all with Stacey you walk away feeling completely adored. She has such a gift of making people feel like they are truly "special." She is beautiful, she makes love an action.
Beautiful looks like Allison. She might act all tough and together on the outside, but she carries the weight of the world for her friends and family on the inside. Continually processing what is best for everyone, a constant flow of evaluating the moments for maximum enjoyment and closeness. Her mind is not easily shut down. Her children are blessed to have her keen insight and her willingness to evaluate the quality of their lives and experiences. As friends, we reap the benefit of this aptitude by seeing her take charge over rowdy kiddos - she lassoed them in and made our evening peaceful. She is beautiful, she makes the moments count.
All of my buddies were gorgeous this weekend, as usual. All of them living their lives for husbands and children, but most importantly....for their Father. They are bright, shining beacons in a world of misunderstood women. They are what beautiful really looks like. The kind of beautiful that children recognize and want to emulate.
Beautiful is kind, generous, loving, selfless, caring, endearing, willing - Beautiful is my friends.
