4. Love your body.


My legs may not be long and lean, or covered in chiseled muscle.

But they are strong.

They never betray me and they carry me for miles and miles of running, dancing, and jumping.

Sometimes they hurt: a squeaking knee or a charlie-horse.

But I love my legs.

3. Be Gracious.


Who is more beautiful than this woman? Hardly any one I know. Not only because Grace Kelly was so physically beautiful (which, duh!), but because she was sweet and humble. She was heartbroken to learn that fellow actresses considered her a threat.

And Grace Kelly knew where she belonged: "Women's natural role is to be a pillar of the family."

She gave up an acting career where she was handpicked by Alfred Hitchcock for the best roles in order to be with her husband and raise their children.

Prince Rainier was quite a man himself: he risked his crown as Prince of Monaco in order to marry outside of royalty.



What a pair.
