December 8. Beautifully Different.
Think about what makes you different and what you do that lights people up. Reflect on all the things that make you different – you’ll find they’re what make you beautiful.

I am a very out of the box kind of thinker. My way of thinking and how I approach life has been questioned by others. I’ve been asked many a time why I ask “random” questions and talk about seemingly unrelated topics. I attribute that to being a creative thinker. As a writer and photographer, I’m one to always be considering many things at once. I suppose to some that is odd, but I love the way my mind works. I can see beauty and promise in things that others cannot.
Also, I have a good sense of humor. While my journey to lose weight and get healthy has altered that a bit, it is still very present in me. I think that we all go through times in our lives where we grow up more and my weight loss journey proved to be one of those times. However, I still enjoy making people laugh or smile on a regular basis. I don’t necessarily joke around like I used to, but I still find that humor makes the day brighter for everyone.
I’ve never been one that is big on outer beauty. Sure, I want to look nice when I head out the door (even my workout clothes down to my socks need to match and look cute), but I have never overdone it. I believe in inner beauty and personality over things like makeup and jewelry. I wear both of those things, but I choose to let my personality shine more brightly than those material things. In my mind, our true self is what makes us who we are.
