Can someone find (or do) a video like this on gray hair? I'm 47 and soooooo want to OWN my "silver foxiness," to the chagrin of my family, friends, and co-workers. Thus, I'm off to see the hair dresser, when in reality I'd rather let my locks go gray, save the money, and get botox.

I love my wrinkles!

By Beth (not verified) on Sunday, 05/02/2010 at 3:10 PM

I love my wrinkles! especially my crows feet because they remind me of my Nana. When I was little, I loved how she could "smile" with her eyes & couldn't wait until I could do it, too.

THIS IS AWESOME Hail Elissa

THIS IS AWESOME Hail Elissa Stein.... What her video points to and what so much of my journey is is really seeing our wholehood and knowing that WE are so much more than bodies and eye color and hair color and skin...and that expression matters so much but beauty is all about where our hearts are..the motives we live..the substance we're about....

She's gonna get tons of praise for this effort...go her. love it...thank you so much lissa for finding her or visa versa...

Every woman I've ever known who embraces botox and plastic surgery knows that it's a bandaid.... Until the heart is sooo at peace with inner.....and trusts that journey, well, the search continues...

We can all be doing so much more to love ourselves and to help all our lives touch do the same.

HUGS to all :)

Oh, I love that! If only we

Oh, I love that! If only we could all see each other with the eyes of a 5 year-old! But, of course, that's what your Magical Eyes campaign is all about! Thanks so much for that!!! Much love, s

Awesome Stacey! Makes me

By Lissa Rankin on Sunday, 05/02/2010 at 2:20 PM

Awesome Stacey! Makes me think of a friend's son. He was about 5 and I was staying as a houseguest, and when I walked in the door, wearing yoga clothes, he grabbed my ass and said, "You have great chub!" with this huge grin on his face. His mom (my college roommate) was horrified and apologized immediately. She said, "You've got to forgive him. He does that with his baby sister, and he means it as a total compliment. He grabs her cheeks and her butt and he loves chub. But I'm trying to teach him it's not kosher to do this with grown women."

But I came to see my butt in a different way after Win told me I've got great chub. What if our wrinkles are the same? They're just great marks of a life well lived....

Oh my goodness, I've got lots

Oh my goodness, I've got lots of wrinkles! My 5 year-old son often asks me to exaggerate a smile or a frown in order to play up my wrinkles because he says he loves to feel my "bumps."

I attended an event with Byron Katie and she applied the Work (www.thework.com) to a man who said his stressful thought was that his girlfriend is no longer attractive to him because she has wrinkles.

Her process includes something called the "turnaround"-- so she asked him to turn around the statement "My girlfriend has wrinkles. I don't want to have a girlfriend with wrinkles" to "My thinking has wrinkles. I don't want my thinking to have wrinkles." -- which he agreed was as true as his original thought.

I want to remember that statement if I ever stop seeing my bumps with the loving eyes of my child. Much love, s

By Lissa Rankin on Sunday, 05/02/2010 at 1:58 PM

Me too! I've got some of my own now, and I'm owning them. No Botox for me, thank you very much. I've earned those wrinkles! The more we accept what is and love ourselves just the way we are, the more we set the example for others to do the same. Thanks for loving wrinkles with me, Stacey! xoxo
