Daily A~Musing #14: Audrey Hepburn, actress
Just look at her…she’s a human-shaped poem. Part of what makes her beauty so exquisite IS her imperfections…the slightly too big ears, the mildly crooked teeth, the bobble-head atop of that tiny little figure. A huge chunk of her charm stems from the deep pain, wisdom and genuine wonder about the world...an ethereal essence that seems to emanate from her. All qualities which appear almost palpable, even on film. Like you could reach out and touch her pixie-fairy hem and be lifted into a better place.
Significant Audrey-Goddess Stats:

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!
If you are fortunate enough to have a Valentine to share this day with, thank the universe for your favor and remember to share your love with others. If you do not have a Valentine today or had a Valentine who disappointed you, consider the Haitian children who have lost their parents and other family members and DO SOMETHING to help them and, more selfishly, to help yourself by sending positive energy out into the universe with the hope that it will be returned to you. Can't hurt, may help.
Actually, she was denied a career as a ballerina due to the fact that she was too tall to be a prima ballerina.
