"Love Your Selfie"

'Love Your Selfie' is a subject that was tackled this past week on the Today Show.... Interesting topics discussing how we see ourselves and how we have been influenced in our lives by what society focuses on and the influences in our lives.

One of the particularly memorable observations related to parents raising their children, how important it is to focus on the positive, and, how important it is to live by example - don't cut yourself down in front of your children as it will send the message that image and looks are important. There is a whole new generation and focus on being the best you can be - accepting yourself and recognizing that beauty comes from the inside - from the core of who you are, how you behave, how you live your life vs. how you look.

The message of the series was 'love yourself and accept yourself. Be the best you can be'.
