So here in her words is a wonderful poem Miss Hepburn wrote when asked to share her 'beauty tips .'
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.
So, as you venture out today contemplate your value, your worth. You are grand each and everyone of you!!! Thank you for the ways you enrich my life!

ReplyDeleteI recall that poem being read; don't know if my Mother gave it to me while I was growing up or if it was just written in a woman's magazine I read. Thanks for the reminder.

Oh, I loved Audrey Hepburn, and I especially loved her commitment to helping children and those in need. She wasn't only physically beautiful, she had a beautiful spirit!
ReplyDeleteAwhile back I participated in a 'Women of Grace' post on one of my other blogs and Audrey Hepburn is one of the women that came to mind and I had to include.
Great post, Cathy!
All the best,
Eileen
