This goes out to all my gambian sisters including our men. I love you all:)
Women’s History Month – February 2001
Did you know that it's Beautiful Women Month? Well, it is and that means you and me.
Did you know that if shop mannequins were real women they'd be too thin to menstruate?
There are 3 billion women who don't look like super models and only eight who do.
Marilyn Monroe wore a size 14.
If Barbie were a real woman, she'd have to walk on all fours due to her proportions.
The average woman weighs 144 lbs and wears between a size 9 and 14.
One out of every four college aged women has an eating disorder.
The models in magazines are airbrushed, not perfect!
A psychological study in 1995 found that three minutes spent looking at a fashion magazine caused 70% of women to feel depressed, guilty, and shameful.
Models twenty years ago weighed 8% less than the average woman. Today they weigh 23% less.
The Beauty of a Woman
The beauty of a woman:
is not in the clothes she wears.
the figure she carries or
the way she combs her hair.
The beauty of a woman
must be seen from her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart,
the place where love resides
The beauty of a woman:
is not in a facial mole, but
true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul
it is the caring that she lovingly gives
the passion that she shows
The beauty of a woman with passing years only grows.
An English professor wrote the words,
"Woman without her man is nothing"
on the blackboard and directed the students to punctuate it correctly.
The men wrote,
"Woman, without her man, is nothing."
The women wrote,
"Woman! Without her, man is nothing."
The Images of Mother
At 4 years of age: My mommy can do anything!
At 8 years of age: My mom knows a lot! A whole lot!
At 12 years of age: My mother doesn't really know quite everything.
At 14 years of age: Naturally, mother doesn't know that, either.
At 16 years of age: Mother? She's hopelessly old-fashioned.
At 18 years of age: That old woman? She's way out of date!
At 25 years of age: Well, she might know a little bit about it.
At 35 years of age: Before we decide, let's get mom's opinion.
At 45 years of age: Wonder what mom would have thought about it?
At 65 years of age: Wish I could talk it over with mom.
Please send this to five phenomenal women today in celebration of Women's History Month. If you do, something good will happen. You will boost another woman's self-esteem.
