A question for the girls: Do you feel beautiful today?
If you’ve seen me perform live, you may have heard me talk about how easy it is to be deceived, and one of the ways it happens is how the world attempts to define what true beauty is. Every day you drive by billboards, see ads on TV, and look at pictures as you flip through magazines, and it’s everything inside of you to feel pretty. Does the world and it’s blurred messages of self-image impact how you see yourself in the mirror?
Eating disorders, thoughts about ideal weight, affording the right clothes, and questions of how to feel beautiful are asked every single day by millions of people who live in a photoshopped world.
Imagine the pressure felt by three sisters who signed a major record deal with Hollywood Records, toured with national acts like Miley Cyrus, the Jonas Brothers, and the Cheetah Girls. Glitz, make-up, lights, photo shoots, (and a massive machine called Disney), certainly has high standards to say the least, and I could imagine it’d be hard to deal with the constant pressure to look a certain way, weigh a certain amount, and fit certain expectations, all while being teenagers.
Well, now those girls have grown up a bit, (and their music and sound has matured), and they’re speaking up about one of the issues almost all women face. It seems like the issue doesn’t go away, regardless of how old you are. Find out what my friends and recording artists, Everlife, have to say about what it means to feel beautiful, and hear their brand-new song, “What’s Beautiful.” If you really listen to the lyrics of this song, I think you’ll be as blown away as I was! And I’m not even a girl! ;-)
After you check out this video and hear the song, you’ll want to do 3 things:
1. Buy “What’s Beautiful” on iTunes, and enjoy the positive message…you need it!
2. Come see the girls play live on my tour, “Sens de Vie“ in a city near you this Spring!
3. Spread the word! You and I both know that you know someone who needs to hear this song! Forward a link to this post to your friends, girlfriends, and daughters, encouraging them to watch the interview, start following Everlife by checking out their website, and getting the song.
Enjoy! This is one of the world’s first chances to see a recording of this song played live…

Remember, buy the song, and spread the word!
Do YOU feel beautiful? If not, remind yourself that God created you in his image, and in his eyes, you are perfectly beautiful and wonderfully made.
How do you fight the temptation each day to tune out the lies around you that scream you have to look a certain way in order to feel pretty? Share your comments, questions, frustrations, experiences, whatever. Others might need to hear them, or you might just need to hear from them…
