You are beautiful. Have you ever looked into the mirror and told yourself that? I am beautiful. Three very simple words that encompass so much. Beauty is not just someone’s outward appearance, it is their spirit. It is who they are on the inside. I am a firm believer in that beauty shines from the inside out.

Many of us don’t think twice about selecting a gender when we fill out a medical document, fill out an application or create an online profile for the latest social media. Many of us see “male” and “female” and so from the two, we choose the one with which we were taught to identify since birth.
Alright men, this is the advice you’ve all been waiting for. Most of you seem to have a tough time “getting” it, and it’s really not as confusing as you think. And women, for some reason we like to beat around the bush. We like to hide our feelings and have trouble admitting the inevitable truth.
