We wanted to re-visit the post that wrote about Dayle Haddon because we feel we didn’t do her complete justice as the post was rather short. Defining beauty is a very subjective sort of thing. Some people think blonde hair is beautiful while others love chestnut tresses, some like a plumper figure (I said some!!!) while others prefer a stick thin one. But universally we can comprehend though not necesssarily explain that some people just have that je ne ce quios, that x factor, that something special.
Those are the types of people that light up a room when they walk in. Dayle Haddon is that sort of woman. When she first walked in at Talbott’s on Michigan Avenue in Chicago, you couldn’t take your eyes off her. A woman in her 50’s, natural, and beautiful. But she had more than that as physical beauty is really all around us, though yes probably the plastic sort.
She, I believe, is a confident woman. Wow, is it that easy that simply having confidence adds beauty? Yes. It is. It’s the sort of confidence that radiates and comes from a lifetime of experience. Susan Sarandon has it too. There is physical beauty of course, but more importantly its the way these women carry themselves. They have the secret captured. The secret is that it’s one trip through this life, and this moment you are in will never come back. You cannot wind the clock back. So therefore, why punish your body and your mind? Love yourself. You might be having problems at work, at home but think hard for a moment and realize that “this too shall pass” is a good way to look at your problems. If you dwell in your percieved problems, you will diminish yourself. You will get sick. You will not be beautiful.
The beautiful are not exempt from the problems of living. Dayle Haddon has had her share too. From reading the book she wrote (terrific) to other stories about her, that much is clear. She didn’t get a free ride through life because she was gorgeous. She struck me as a true broad. Those who know me know this is the highest compliment. A woman who is gutsy, funny, charming, knows how to get what she wants, gobbles up life doesn’t nibble at it…..
So, this morning’s post dear readers is a tribute to all the women out there who understand that you’ll never be the age you are now, you’ll never be back as life moves forwards and doesn’t wait. And those of you who sort of know this but don’t live it… wake up! Give yourselves a kick and a hug too!!! Bless you all.
