Rolling Role Models

With Tiger Woods in the news so much lately, I have started to reflect upon my own role models... Audrey Hepburn, Barbara Walters, Martha Stewart, and Oprah.

Unfortunately they aren't the clean slate people either. But I still have my reasons for admiring them.

Audrey Hepburn.
I love her. Her simplicity, caring nature, beauty, and quotes. I dress conservative, sorta like her. I like turtle necks, bold accessories, and modesty. True beauty should be without the assistance of the most fashionable clothes. But like a poem she endorses:

Beauty Tips!
For attractive lips, speak words of kindness.
For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.
For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.
For beautiful hair, let a child run his or her fingers through it once a day.
For poise, walk with the knowledge you'll never walk alone.
People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; Never throw out anybody.
Remember, If you ever need a helping hand, you'll find one at the end of your arm.
As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself, the other for helping others.
The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides.
The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mole, but true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It is the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows, and the beauty of a woman with passing years only grows!


Barbara Walters.

I admire her for the professionalism. She has crawled up the ladder and has become a successful and respected lady. Growing up I wanted to be an "eyewitness television news reporter" and being a female, it was easy to watch/look up to her. That idea has yet to leave me :) shh..



Martha Stewart.

Enough said! She can do anything... and if she flops, well you never know it because it is still great. Even though she went to jail, she was able to bounce back and be stronger than ever. She never was discouraged.

Oprah.
Well this lady has the humor I like. She gets along with everyone and wants to share her joy/money with the public. She doesn't covent it all. Instead tries to make lives better.

There's no such thing as perfect people
there's no such thing as a perfect life
so come as you are, broken and scarred
lift up your heart and be amazed, and be changed
by a perfect god.
But if you take all of these ladies' qualities I spoke about: 1.) True fashion 2.) Professionalism 3.) Determination 4.) Compassion. I have something to strive for. Sometimes role models need to be rolled together.
