This course has... made me look at myself in a whole new light. It has slowly helped me to realize that I AM worth it, and that I CAN do it. Thank you for everything Renae.
In our media-driven world, glossy images of beauty are all around us. From an early age, girls internalize these images and use them to define what beauty is. But the truth is, movies and magazines covers do not define beauty. True beauty is a unique light that comes from within each of us. It is something that others don't just see; they feel it, too. True beauty is different for each one of us and it is magnified by connecting to the best of what lies within us.

For young women in this media age, finding and identifying with inner beauty and self-respect is not easy. They are bombarded with messages that entice them to disconnect from their internal values and connect instead with the increasing sexualization of the external world. This kind of connection threatens to compromise their personal integrity. Rather than affirm their individuality and uniqueness, these messages create pressure to fit into a cookie cutter mold of beauty.

As a mother, a nurse, a teacher and a woman who lives in this modern age, I had a vision to create a program that would help young women see, feel and live their own true beauty and inherent worth. This vision has realized itself in the form of Beauty from the Inside Out. It has been my labour of love, helping young women to find their own voice and to see and feel their own unique beauty - from the inside out.

Beauty From the Inside Out offers young women the unique opportunity to explore a deeper, more rare form of beauty. It is about holding up an entirely different mirror for young women to see themselves with. The kind that provides mentoring and skill building that will help them withstand the barrage of societal pressure. It assists them in finding a way to:
  • reflect their true beauty
  • stand in their authentic selves
  • find their own voice
  • internalize the values of kindness, graciousness, integrity and respect for self and others
I invite you to explore the 11-week journey of the girls who have taken part in this program. I hope you are touched by the spirit of the program and celebrate with all of us the beautiful transformation of the precious young women who have taken part. They are our future generation.

All my love,

Renae Peterson, B.N., YWCA 2009 Woman of Distinction
