You shine the most bright

Robena-Betty recently wrote a wonderful post at the Bettyverse:

"By letting go of preconceived notions of what life should be, or how you think you should behave, and acknowledging what is, you will find a peace and contentment that is soul satisfying. That is when you’ll be able to say I’m happy in my own skin. You’ll be free to embrace your awesomeness despite your early upbringing, negative messages, physical abuse, past disappointments, rejections, illnesses, hair color, big nose, shape of your face, freckles, acne, skinny legs, chubbiness, thinness, fat ass or muffin top, and you will finally be free to celebrate life. None of those other things matter, fretting about them is a meaningless use of valuable energy. What matters is accepting, and being, your authentic self.
Let your light shine. Love yourself. You are awesome!"

And here's an Annie Lennox song to go with the sentiment. It always makes me think of my husband, Fernando.
A constellation once seen
Over royal David's city
An epiphany, you burn so pretty
Ya you are a shining light
