thank you.

it seems like people spend a lot of time focusing on their flaws and things they want to change about themselves... i know i do from time to time.

but guess what? you are amazing. so today i want to thank you for being you... uniquely, perfectly, wonderfully you! no one does it better.

love yourself

my friend jess spotted this awesome graffiti wall in florida... it reads, "love yourself like no other."

you are beautiful part 2

i was so very inspired by the you are beautiful project that i decided to contribute to it in my own way. this sign has been hanging in my window (facing out, of course) for the past few weeks...

see it? move in a little closer...

my husband and i live in a second floor apartment overlooking a busy intersection. lots of people walk by every day, but i have no way of knowing if anyone has noticed it. i do know that it always makes me smile when it catches my eye as i'm walking home.

i added the smaller pink sign below it as an extra piece of encouragement... it reads, "keep your heart open."

you are the coolest kid in school.

posted at the mall in a teen clothing store.

i might be all grown up now, but i still remember what it's like to be an awkward kid trying to fit in... sometimes it just feels good to know that *someone* out there thinks you're cool.

p.s. i'm so glad to be back, more posts to come this week... :)
