I'm copying this exactly from the small laminated sign that sits in my bathroom next to the mirror - much to the dismay of my husband! I received it as a gift at a Christmas tea a few years ago.
Looking good, sister!
When you look in the mirror, my beautiful friend, don't say "Blah," say "Ta-da!" Why? Because that's what God said the day he made you!
Women, you see, were the crown of his creation, God's ultimate creative effort. After adding the finishing touches, he declared, "It is very good."
Not "Next!"
Not "Uh-oh."
Not "Oops."
Just imagine God smiling at you and saying, "Ta-da! I did it! She's finished and she's all mine." You are not a mistake, beloved. No way. You are God's definition of beauty for you.
Now, here's your assignment: Stand in front of your mirror each morning (fully dressed, of course), stretch your arms with joy and say it like you mean it: "Ta-da!"
