Today I received the following message. “Namaste” Not knowing what it meant I had to Google it.
According to Wikipedia, Namaste is a South Asian greeting, which is used as a greeting or upon parting.
Namaste Definition: “I honor the place in you
which is of Love, of Truth, of Light and of Peace.”
“The light in me sees and honors the light in you.”
I found it to be a beautiful greeting. My challenge to you this week is to restore beauty and growth into a world that has become ugly, and filled with hatred by showing beauty throughout the blogosphere.
Tell me, what do you think real beauty is? Better yet, show me!
If you liked this post, why not buy me a coffee?

Namaste is a beautiful greeting indeed. My Indian friend greets me with that. I thought it just meant hello! Ignorant me. Thanks for enlightening me on that one, Rose! I have a much better appreciation of that greeting.
Real beauty? It is a woman learning how to embrace herself, flaws and all. I don’t have a pic for that!

Namaste is a Hindi word which is used to greet elders. It is usually said by joining both the palms and said with reverence.
Its an indian custom.
