The Audrey Hepburn Way

I read this in Family Circle magazine, the April 2 issue, and LOVED IT!! Went looking for it, and as I found it, couldnt help sharing:

"TIME TESTED BEAUTY

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 beutiful hair, let a child run his fingers through it once a day.
For poise, walk with the knowledge that you'll never walk alone.
The tender loving care of human beings will never become obsolete.
People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed and redeemed and redeemed and redeemed.
Never throw out anybody.
And remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you'll find one at the end of your arm.
As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands: one for helping yourself, the other to help others.
Your "good old days" are still ahead of you.
May you have many of them.

This was one of Audrey Hepburn's favorite poems - and she did lived by it!
Wouldnt it be good to make it one's motto?

Big , everybody,

Fatima
