We all need times to discover again what is beautiful about ourselves. We stultify our
beauty by trying to model ourselves on the images that are set for us by others – the
way we should look, the way we should dress, walk and talk.
If we are to nurture our own particular beauty, we must nourish our bodies with
healthy food and drink; nourish our minds with literature, art and good company;
nourish our spirits with silence, stillness and prayer. This way we can rid ourselves of
anxiety, anger and negativity, and replace them with peace and joy and positive
energy.

He who would be free must not conform.
