The best things in life are not things!

We have all heard many old sayings like, The best things in life are not things. Pretty is as pretty does.

Today, a friend sent me a copy of some of Audrey Hepburn’s tips on how to be beautiful. Never have I read anything that I consider to be more poignant than her words which declared the real substance of life. Audrey Hepburn’s beauty tips are as follows:

  • For attractive lips, speak words of kindness.
  • For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.
  • For beautiful hair, let a child run his or her fingers through it.
  • For poise, walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone.
  • People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed and redeemed.
  • Never throw out anyone.
  • Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you will find one at the end of each of your arms.
  • As you grow older, you will rediscover both hands: one for helping yourself and one for helping others.

Amen, Ms. Hepburn
