A Poem from Audrey Hepburn
Reaching out from lovely Paris is my great online friend Barbara Joly who sent me this excellent reminder yesterday. Back at ya girlfriend!
I’m supposed to send this to FIVE BEAUTIFULWOMEN, but I know more than 5 beautiful women - and you’re one of them!
Below is a wonderful poem Audrey Hepburn wrote
when asked to share her ‘beauty tips.’
It was read at her funeral years later.
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 anyone out.
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.
If you share this with another woman, something good will happen. You will boost another woman’s self esteem,
and she will know that you care about her.
It’s BEAUTIFUL Women Month
TAG YOU’RE IT!
Dance On, Sister

Hi Sam,
Bonjour !
It was my pleasure to pass this one on to you.
Isn’t that just so precious? I really enjoyed this when I received this last week. I’am glad that you did also.
Audrey Hepburn… that was one of Hollywood’s classiest ladies. I just love her ! I rememebr her also in her later years for working with children.

Wishing you peace and lots of love from across the Atlantic.
