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.






oh Noooooo! It was bound to come along at some stage I suppose... but so soon?!? the... self... esteem .. blog... sigh... see I struggle with how my husband even puts up with looking at me .. so for me to see anything "beautiful", makes me cringe to even type it out! This is going to be a tough one! ...

some time later ...

so.. I'm different because... sigh... well most people tell me I'm very funny ... and I make them smile... but I think that I use my humour to deflect from my size... you know .. the jolly fat one in the group... but I do see things from the "glass half full" side of life... I've learned early on in life that its very short and people are taken away from us in the blink of an eye... so I try to see the funny side of everything ... I suppose in private it's a bit different ... I'm way too hard on myself and I've only just learned that in the last year... I do like making people smile... I like cheering people up... I like being the one to handout the tissues and vodka at the same time and turn a break-up into a war rally! LOL ... (on a side note here.. I've been hung over MORE times from my friends breaking ups and make ups and if I'm ever in AA I'm holding them responsible!)

My spirit is beautifully different in a way that makes me fit in but I strive everyday to make my body FIT-IN to the norm (whatever that is!?!?!).. I spend too much time trying to fit in .. and not enough time showing off who I really am! A gal who is beautifully different... sigh...

How do I light people up??? I'm married to an electrician!

now... thank god thats over!!!

    I went through a weight loss journey last year after quitting smoking ciggs.

    I look forward to watching you grow, evolve and let go of the things that are out of your control.

    "Be daring, be different, be impractical, be anything that will assert integrity of purpose and imaginative vision against the play-it-safers, the creatures of the commonplace, the slaves of the

  2. You know, I had the weirdest feeling when I answered this prompt because I didn't feel particularly beautiful. I scrawled something down anyway but this was tough.

    I don't think anyone ever feels like they're in the norm, so yes, you may as well try to be different! You'll be better for it.
