Andrew walked in the door the other day holding a piece of paper with advise for girls from Legendary boxer Mohammed Ali.
The story is told by one of Mohammed Ali’s daughters and transpired when one of his daughters came home wearing something quite revealing.
“When we finally arrived, the chauffer escorted my younger sister, Laila and me up to my fathers suit. As usual, he was hiding behind the door waiting to scare us. We exchanged hugs and kisses as we could possibly give in one day. My father took a good look at us, then he sat me down on his lap and said something that I will never forget. He looked me straight in the eyes and said; “Hanna, everything that God made Valuable and Precious in this world is covered and hard to get to. Where do you find Diamonds? Deep down in the ground, covered and protected. Where do you find Pearls? Deep down at the bottom of the ocean, covered and protected in a beautiful shell. Where do you find Gold? Way down in the mine, covered over and protected by layers and layers of rock. You’ve got to work hard to get to them.” He looked at me with seriousness in his eyes. “Your body is sacred. You are far more Precious and Valuable than Gold, Diamonds and Pearls, and you should be covered too.”
