To the Young Woman

Sister D'evengne gave this really powerful lesson today about
our bodies. Here is a snippet from one of the papers she gave us:
" I plead with you Young Woman to please be more accepting of
yourselves, including your body shape and style, with a little less
longing to look like someone else. We are all different. Some are tall,
some are short. Some are round, and some are thin. And almost everyone
at some time or ther wants to be something they are not! But as one adviser
to teenage firls said:' You can't live your life worrying that the world is staring at you.
When you let people's opinions make you self-concious you give away your power.....
They key to feeling confident is to always listen to your inner self- the real you.'"
That was given by Elder Holland to his Teenage Granddaughter.
