Michelle Obama~ A STAR!

Why don’t women support Michelle Obama? It seems like society and the media only wants to focus on the cost of her wardrobe! I’m not saying you have to worship her but she is a very good role model. She is a prime example of a STARLET graduating to a STAR!

Did you know?

Michelle Obama studied sociology and African-American studies at Princeton University. After graduating from Harvard Law School in 1988, she joined the Chicago law firm Sidley & Austin, where she later met the man who became the love of her life. She accomplished all of this before meeting President Obama! Michelle launched the “Let’s Move” Campaign, to bring awareness to childhood obesity.(Check out the video of Michelle dancing at the end of this post) Yes Michelle Obama is the first-lady but she still is doing her own thing! Michelle has one of the hardest jobs in America balancing her own obligations, being the first lady, and taking care of her two girls. She is educated, down-to-earth, and inspiring. She has my vote! So, STARLETS take her accomplishments as a powerful woman and be inspired to reach your own destiny.

“The great thing in this world is not so much where you stand, as in what direction you are moving.”

You Are Beautiful!

          
   

What comes to mind when you see these women?  What do all these women have in common besides being celebrities?

Well not only are they all successful STARS but they are all beautiful.  All these women have different shades of color and sizes yet beautiful in their own ways. This variety of women show that you don't just have to be a size 00 any more, or light skin. EMBRACE YOUR  BODY & COLOR! Every girl is beautiful in their way and yes it is true that “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.” Every female child should be told there beautiful by their father (especially), mother, and family from the minute their born until they begin to exude their own confidence. If no one has ever told you, you are beautiful, I’ll tell you! YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL! It is so important for fathers to tell their daughters that they are beautiful because women who lack that nurturing from their father tend to attract the wrong men. They fall into the cycle of low-self esteem and the statistic of abused women. You do not need a man to validate if you’re pretty, you should already know you are. All these celebrity women were once STARLETS just like you. They too have struggled before, and sometimes took the wrong path but God guided them to the right path. Being a STARLET may sometimes be hard, awkward, and stressful but if you follow God’s light you too will graduate to a STAR.

 “Character contributes to beauty. It fortifies a woman as her youth fades. A mode of conduct, a standard of courage, discipline, fortitude, and integrity can do a great deal to make a woman beautiful.”

The Successful Woman

What do you think about when you hear the word success? Well success is a favorable or desired outcome. Success may mean something different to different women. It could be just having a Family... House...  Car...  Career... Or for some just making it day to day...

Well however you look at it there certain characteristics that you should have. I read an article that talked about five characteristics of a successful woman. The characteristics include determined, resourceful, engaging, ambitious, and confident. For me the number one thing is to be confident. There are too many ladies that have low-self esteem, and don’t believe in their self. Well let me tell you if you don’t believe in yourself first no one else will. It also takes a lot of determination to achieve your goals. Your motivation is what will drive you to do better and want more for yourself. (And there is nothing wrong for ever wanting more for you) In today’s society you have to be ambitious, showing that you want to succeed in wealth, power, or any goal because if you don’t the next women will. We as women always have to be engaging by marketing ourselves, whether you do hair and give out business cards/flyers or promote babysitting services, or even networking with someone in the field you desire to pursue. (Getting your name out there) Last but not least being resourceful is something that we as women are good at. You have to use the tools or opportunities available to you, add your flare and make it your own.  Just be yourself, if your determined to achieve a goal and you have the right mind set then you can reach it!  

"The greater danger for most of us lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low, and achieving our mark.”
