Self Esteem, Good Choices, and the Waitress!

Are you in an abusive relationship?

Are you feeling needy for a man?

Are you having an affair with a married man?

Are you forgetting what it means to have great self esteem?

If any of the above are true for you, I encourage you to watch a newly released (on DVD), endearing movie, "Waitress."

Now, this delightful film may not win, Best Picture of the Year, and it may not make a billion dollars, but it has a fabulous message... a message I wish all women could hear!

I won't tell you too much about the movie because I am hoping you will all see it but let me just say it is about...

Making mistakes and moving beyond them.

Discovering your inner strength.

Friendship.

Making good choices.

Discovering your inner beauty.

Decisions and opportunities.

What is really important in life.

This romantic comedy demonstrates what it means to be a strong woman. It portrays a woman who uses her gifts and talents and abilities to brighten the world. Who finds strength and light inside herself. Who doesn't need a man to save her, support her, or make life worth living.

I'm always surprisingly refreshed by the rare movie that doesn't objectify women, that doesn't spread the myth woman are here for the pleasure of men, and that doesn't teach women they are their bodies.

Hooray for, "Waitress."

Kudos to Adrienne Shelly!*
