Happy Birthday!

I know. Two posts in one week. But it's my birthday and I can do whatever I want. About a month ago, my husband asked me what I wanted for my birthday. So for the last month I've been trying to come up with something. Most years I could some up with a list a mile long of things I want but would never buy for myself. This year that was not the case. I was totally at a loss.

Then this morning it came to me. I want women all other the world to feel their worth! That is the only birthday present I want. I want every women to see her worth! I want her to rejoice in her strength and beauty! I want her to see herself for the wonderful woman she is!

So I decided that for my birthday, as a present to me, I want you to make a list of things you like about yourself. Since it's my 25th birthday, make it a list of 25 things. Maybe for some women this will be a breeze. Personally, this list has taken me years to create. Here's my list. What's on yours?
