While I would like to provide all the information you need on this website, I know that you will probably also need other resources to help you in this journey towards true beauty.
In my life, as I have been on my own discovery of true beauty, there have been many different things that have helped me....
My Family and Friends Counseling Websites Books Etc.
And so, I wanted to provide a list of books that have helped me along the way. Most of them I found at our local library and checked them out for free....some of them I liked so much I bought a copy to underline and write in! And it have proven to be helpful because I have gone back to re-read those important underlined sections at times :)
I hope you find them helpful in your journey as well!!

Little girls know about Cinderella---about her breathtaking beauty, about Prince Charming, about a magical destiny called "happily ever after." And inside every woman is a little girl who secretly aches for a fairy godmother to wave a wand and transform her into the princess she has always longed to be. To make her beautiful. Captivating. Adored.
But we've learned that fairy tales aren't real, so we squelch our precious gifts of longing and desire. We stop dressing up or anticipating the ball, deciding it's better to stay home than to hope again and be disappointed. Besides, being asked to dance isn't all that important anyway.
Oh, but it is! In Do You Think I'm Beautiful, Thomas invites you to awaken your passion and glimpse your deepest desires. To voice your longing to be loved with an ultimate love. And to fall into the embrace of the One who asks you to dance.
