TAKING A STAND!

Why am I doing this? Because I had enough. Because we had enough. I am sick and tired of hearing this kind of stuff: “thin is in” or even worse: “Look at her, isn’t she gorgeous” (pointing at someone who is either half naked or completely under weight).

        Although I would like to think that the entertainment industry has no idea of the effects they are causing, I am very aware that is not the truth. If they weren’t aware of the impact they are causing on people -especially teens-, why would they keep on going? And here we walk in. We have seen lots of campaigns standing out. We have seen a campaign that is willing to spread the truth about the effects of the use of tobacco, another campaign that is out to stop the sexual exploitation of kids, another one to feed the hungry people of Africa, another to stop discrimination against Hispanic citizens, another campaign fighting for the rights of minorities, the people who are out to help the patients of AIDS, Cancer, and so on and on and on. Even if my judgment and morals allow me to agree with many of the mentioned above, I have to point out that the battle to promote self-esteem, moral values, self-respect, etc, is almost unknown. We as a mass are becoming quiet- passive narrators willing to tell the story but not to give it a little twist. But we are now taking a stand. We are not only twisting the story a little bit, we are making a brand-new story.

 Who am I and why am I doing this and which is my purpose?

My name is Kathie Joe. I, as a Christian young women and youth leader, have decided to start a movement to promote both self-esteem and moral values. I’ve decided to make this movement to let people know that when you see yourself through God’s eyes, you get to see the person you really are: beautiful, important, bright and unique because He made you the way you are and He has an everlasting purpose with your persona. My idea is to get people join this fight so we can reach many and help them out.

This is not only for those who have struggle with eating disorders or self-esteem issues. This is for people who are tired of seeing how the pride of society is going down. For those who believe us humans are more than what is on the surface. For those who are ready to speak up. For those who are ready to tell the media, we had enough. For us who want moral values to speak for themselves. If you think you qualify perfectly, please join me. I was inspired of course, by His [God’s] word and His everlasting truth. I was also inspired by my own story, which is my testimony. I know now that the entire struggle I had with self-consciousness and eating disorders was nothing else than a blind period of my life. Thankfully I am now healing by God’s grace. And I want to help others heal their wounds.
