In Awe of Beauty
Beauty

by Madisyn Taylor

All we have to do is look for beauty, and she is there all around us at any given moment.


Beauty speaks to us in soft whispers or bold declarations. She calls on us to gaze in awe at her splendor. We are enticed by beauty. We adore her, idolize her, and even court her. Beauty seduces all of our senses. Beauty's seduction can be as obvious as the striking good looks of a man or woman or as subtle as the charms of a shaggy dog with loving brown eyes. We find beauty in the wonders of nature. Beauty offers us a symphony of colors with every sunrise and sunset and reveals to us her brash power through a storm at sea. Beauty teases us through the shy smile of a child and delights us via the brilliant flashes of fireworks. Beauty sometimes piques all of our senses at once, appealing to our taste buds, as well as our eyes and nose, when she appears in the form of a deliciously baked cake. Beauty calms us with floral scents and excites our aural lust through the passionate sounds made by an orchestra.

Beauty can be cruel, and our pursuit of her can be in vain. We may go to the opera in anticipation of finding beauty there, and she may bore and disappoint us. Instead, beauty lavishes her attention on another suitor who may be more appreciative of her charms. Or, we may try to capture beauty's essence in a photograph, painting, or sculpture, and still she is nowhere to be found. Beauty will forever inspire works of art, and she will always pose for her portrait, selecting the artist who is most worthy of her catching her likeness.

Depending on our personal tastes, beauty can be found in every color, flavor, scent, and texture. She lives among the poor, as well as the rich, and appears in the faces of the young and the old. She is at home in the city, as well as the country, decorating skylines as well as landscapes. She is the ultimate shape shifter. Beauty is a weather beaten barn beloved by one person and an awesome testament of naval craftsmanship revered by another. Beauty knows no bounds, and we can find her everywhere. All we have to do is look for beauty, and she is there.

The Skinny Thinking Thought Diet
by Laura Katleman-Prue

Do you struggle with your weight? Have you been on countless diets and regained your lost weight every time? Do you overeat when you're worried, bored, under stress, sad, angry, or even happy? If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, The Skinny Thinking Thought Diet can help you. Any one can force off weight on a diet, but it's like pulling off the top of a weed. It comes right back unless you take care of the root - the way you think about food. Here's why the Skinny Thinking Thought diet can help you, when everything else has failed. It radically changes your relationship to food by changing the way you think about it. To put it simply, it's Eckhart Tolle meets food. Using the simple five minute daily exercises in the Skinny Thinking Thought Diet, you will learn how to stop thinking about food and how to stop romanticizing it.
