I used to detest Paris Hilton. She seemed so self absorbed and the media was obsessed with her. I remember the days when I would watch the news and it seemed as if she was always mentioned as if she were some life-changing phenomenon.

She was strikingly beautiful, but I didn’t see anything more than that because the media made her out to be a very shallow and selfish person.

Then all of a sudden she disappeared and who comes strolling through the door of self absorption next? Kim Kardashian. Gads. It was enough to make me want to puke every day.

It was more than a month ago when my daughter slipped into my room. It was the evening and I was working on my laptop.  She asked me if I had heard about what happened between my niece and Paris Hilton?

I said, “No, please tell me.”

Apparently the nurse that is taking care of my niece, who currently has cancer, had a brother who is dating Paris Hilton. The nurse told my niece that and my niece didn’t believe her. So this sweet nurse face-timed her brother and gave her phone to my niece.

My niece got to talk with Paris Hilton! Turns out Paris Hilton is an absolute doll. Very sweet and kind. My niece and her chatted for a bit. Then Paris was amazing enough to donate to my niece’s go fund me page. It was quite a nice sum of money.

This puts my perspective on Paris Hilton into a tailspin. I realized that I wouldn’t have been near as gracious to an absolute stranger as she was and I may not have been as generous either.

Now every time I see her picture on the news, internet or in the magazine I realize one thing. She is strikingly beautiful on the outside, but that is just the tip of the iceberg as far as how deep her beauty goes.
