You have a unique beauty that you can instill into your child, and that beauty is just as important as anyone else's input to child-rearing.

Take a moment and recognize how special and important you are. You are more than enough. You are everything that they need.
Reach out to all the strong, empowered moms you know and let them know that they are enough. Everyone needs to hear it sometimes.
