Hey You..

I absolutely enjoy complimenting others. I'm a Northerner, compliments weren't always easy to come by without it being followed by something slick. Now that I've migrated South ( 6 years strong of this Peach Life), I find it so much easier to compliment others. I will tell another woman she looks beautiful in a heart beat. No shame in inquiring about her outfit either! Lol I mean, if it were an exclusive I wouldn't see it posted on every IG Boutique.. Lol 

Compliments are good and for some people, they are needed. I've never been one to suffer from low self esteem but I have sistergirls who have and do. It breaks my heart because I find strength, beauty and love in each of them. 

When we learn to lift others us, it strengthen us as individuals. How you ask? Every single morning I stand in the mirror and I look at myself. I look at my nose that I used to hate. I've now come to embrace it because it's me. I look at the freckles now more visible than ever, I count the greys too. It's all apart of me. 

When I talk to ppl who are always complaining, I try my best to not feed into it but direct their attention to something positive about them. Sometimes it's a hard task but it's more draining to participate in a pity party. 

We all have moments of weakness. We're human, it's expected. But our daily goals should be to rise above anyone or anything that makes us feel inferior or weak. 

Today my Lovies, compliment someone! Better yet, compliment yourself. Have No shame in it either. Own your beauty and help someone else appreciate theirs. Be the added salt to the world, that is our charge right? Add taste to the tasteless?!! Ahhhh, #CatchIt!! 

Make it Great y'all, I just did because each of you reading today are beautiful inside and out.. And here's a squeeze just for you!! 

Signed,
