Below is a wonderful poem Audrey Hepburn wrote when asked to share her ‘beauty tips.’ It was read at her funeral years later.

For attractive lips speak words of kindness…

For lovely eyes ,seek out the good in people.

For a slim figure ,share your food with the hungry.

For beautiful hair, let a child run his/her fingers through it once a day.

For poise, walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone…

People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed;
never throw out anyone. Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you will find one at the end of each of your
arms.

As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands;
one for helping yourself and the other for helping others.

I am a bit like Ugly Betty. I am old, fat and ugly on the outside, but on the inside you will find I am beautiful, you see I am a 3 time cancer survivor (age 10, brain tumor[Menegeoma], age 21 Uterine Cancer [discovered when I was 6 months pregnant], age 35 skin cancer), as well as a 30% Service Connected Disabled Veteran (US Army 6 years). I am adopting my Husbands Boys that have been living with my Husband and I for 9 years, after my Husbands X stabbed him the in the stomach, in front of the boys. One needs a heart transplant (his heart is functioning at 30%), One is Bipolar, and one has post traumatic stress and Oppositional defiant disorder.
I have tried to teach my kids, that nothing is so bad, that you can not over come it. Laughter goes a long way to making yourself, and those around you feel better.
I refuse to go to bed angry, and I refuse to wake up angry. I try and make the most out of every day (including taking time to stop and smell the roses). I just turned 46, and have done so much…I lived in Europe, I sang in a band, I play Cello and Bass, I love my kids, I have a great Husband…and you know, I don’t think I would have done so much if I had not had cancer. My personal philosophy about life reflects the Tim McGraw song “Live like you’re dying” to quote the song;

“Like tomorrow was a gift,
And you got eternity,
To think about what you’d do with it.
An’ what did you do with it?
An’ what can I do with it?
An’ what would I do with it? “
P.S. One of my few remaining goals in life, is to learn to surf!
