My Beautiful Religion.
You will be really proud of me. I was filling in a few routine medical forms the other day and when it came to filling in the section asking my religion, I instinctively wrote: Everyone should wear makeup! Cheeky, I know. I couldn’t help myself. You’ll be doubly chuffed as I didn’t even cross it out and write something more traditional. I left it! I felt strangely liberated, truth be known.
A while later, I went on to think about my gorgeous newly declared religion and what it meant to me. I mean, why is wearing makeup so important? I suppose if I had to sum it up in as few sentences as possible (For starters, that would be darn near impossible for me, as we all know…but I’d try…), I would have to say that wearing makeup, having radiant, evenly pigmented skin that reflects exuberance, groomed brows that dress the eyes that are the windows of the authentic soul and encapsulate the sparkle, excitement and joy felt for life, lips that showcase the brilliant smiles and heartfelt laughter that we love, gracefully showing the flush of cheek that only comes from the flame of one’s inner beauty and passion are all just the beginning of why. Makeup worn well can infinitely assist one in feeling beautifully confident, full of vitality and wondrously self-expressed and that would most certainly, be amongst my defining reasons. I am also allured to the magic that happens when an individual is in their divine state of feeling beautiful, self-assured, spirited, and joyous. This incredible magic happens only when ones inner beauty is allowed to make its rightful journey outward. With this magic, you get the most creative, inspired, far-reaching, and amazingly beautiful ripple effect! I love that!

Disruptions To Perception.
I had a thought, dangerous thing, I know. (*note to self: must stop doing that!) I wondered why we so often criticize or are self-deprecating to our beautiful selves? I am certain that we wouldn’t even be tempted to inflict such wounds onto others, but almost as if instinctive and without much thought, we can usher such harsh criticism onto ourselves. Just as soon as the aforementioned thought moved through my mind, I realized that when we act in such a manner towards ourselves, we are having a real disruption to our true perception of our infinite beauty and that of others. We’re having a break in transmission, if you like. When such disruptions or breaks in transmission occur, we can find ourselves in a position where it’s darn near impossible for us to see our own beauty, the beauty that abundantly surrounds us or the beauty to which we are connected to and such disruptions can cause a loss of joyous self-expression.
So why not view these momentary disruptions to our perception as the gliches or breaks in transmission that they are and think nothing of them? With a bit of luck and before long, we won’t even notice these breaks in transmission or (more importantly) their effects and then they will eventually cease to be. We will then be able to fully and wonderously live our lives secure in the flawless connection to that which is infinitely beautiful and brings tremendous joy. Now that’s living!
