This was such a poignant insight. I see this too when I hear others describe me vs how I describe myself; even I see it in my niece, in a conversations we have had, how I see her is not how she sees herself, with more critique and negativity, less acceptance and less compassion, which concerns me. This was moving and so touching. You are so right, Payne, smiling brings out even more of our inner beauty. Thanks for this Lynn!
