Why I admire Miranda Kerr

 

Why I admire Miranda Kerr

I'm usually not one to write a blog about people I admire. If you know/knew me you would know that I just don't. I have thought about doing it for a long time though. There are so many people out there that I admire. And supermodels usually aren't one of them. But Miranda Kerr is different.

When I was younger I didn't admire models or supermodels all that much. All my friends said the reason why models are so skinning is because they don't eat or they throw up all the time. Yeah I went along with it. Plus I was young, so what did I know?

Well, that isn't the case so much anymore. So when I heard about Miranda Kerr I have to say I was a little bit skeptical. To me she was like any other model. But something changed in me and I started to like her a bit. Then I started to like her a lot. And this was before I even really knew who she was.

For those of you who don't know who Miranda Kerr is, she is a beautiful woman from Gunnedah, New South Wales, Australia. Miranda has been a model since she was 13 years old. But she studied Nutrition and Health Psychology before modeling became a full-time career.

When Miranda won the modeling competition for Dolly at age 13, it caused a "concerned outrage," because she was so young. But at a young age, Miranda was already taking control of the situation. And yes, the magazine is for teenage girls. It's not something that "old men," would stare at!

Ok, so now I'm gonna jump a little bit to the actually point of why I admire Miranda Kerr so much. And it's not just because she's a model at Victoria Secret. But before I get to that, there is something I want to share.

A lot of my family members and friends don't like going into Victoria Secret. And these are people who are skinnier than I am. I ask them why; and it's not because of the clothes. They think the models and the photos are too "raunchy." I have to disagree with them. The reason why the models look so good is because they take care of themselves. And this is one reason why I admire Miranda Kerr.

Miranda, to me at least, does not seem like one of those people who is always about "high fashion." She seems like the most down to earth person. She wants people like her to reach for their dreams as well. Miranda also drinks Tahitian Noni juice, which is a very natural juice that "supports the immune system, increases energy and physical performance, is rich in anti-oxidant properties and supports a healthy cardiovascular system." Miranda also does yoga.

She also has her own organic skincare line called KORA Organics. And not to mention her self-titled book called "Treasure Yourself." "Treasure Yourself," has become a huge hit. I got the book as a Christmas present and dove right into it. Miranda and I also have something in common: We both have lost people we dearly cared about.

"I took this photo with my camera phone, so that's why it's not very good. But I wanted to post this because this part of your book really touched my heart. I lost two friends due to a car accident when I was 16 years old back in 2004. These two boys were really good friends of mine and touched the hearts of many at the high school that I went to. I remember how crushed I was when they died.

Miranda, your book is very uplifting and I have loved reading it. You are such an inspiration to so many."

Miranda's response touched my heart in so many ways: KORA Organics by Miranda Kerr Thank you sweetheart. I am sad to hear of your loss. I am glad that my book has been able to help you. Know that your relationship hasn't ended but only changed with your friends. Chrisso's death taught me so much and I am so blessed to have had him in my life and I cherish those memories so much and appreciate the time we had. Thanks for sharing hon. love Miranda xxx

Earlier this month my grandma passed away from lung cancer. I was hesitant to tell my friends the news at first because when I had found out, it wasn't a good day for me. But I did end up telling my friends and of course I did tell Miranda on Twitter. Her response was so kind and thoughtful that it really surprised me how much someone like her would care.

I still cannot believe that Miranda just had a baby boy (Flynn) either. But now since she is back working for Victoria Secret, she is more radiant and beautiful than ever.

I don't think of Miranda Kerr as a celebrity. I want to think of her as more of a friend. She takes the time to actually get on facebook and twitter to interact with her fans from all over the globe. And not many celebrities do that. Which is why I admire her even more. Not to mention that some of my blog post have made it on the KORA community blogs. Miranda takes the time to care about her fans that are really sick too.

A good friend of Miranda and mine is in the hospital right now (many of you already know who I am talking about). Miranda has been sending her messages of encouragement, as many of her friends and myself have.

I admire Miranda Kerr for so many reasons. If I could to shorten this blog up, the two words that best describe Miranda is that: she cares.
