Body Positive Challenge Feature Profile September 5, 2015

"Recognizing my own opinion of beauty was a long journey. Now I see that real beauty is in the smiling eyes, laughter and the kind words that shine my way. It also resides in nature, architecture and innovation. Sometimes the beauty is dark and intense, other times light and airy. When I gaze upon someone or something and suddenly feel happiness and wonder deep inside, that is when I recognize beauty. Beauty used to be an elusive and specific form that I chased everywhere, but which now surrounds me with surprising regularity in forms I never before imagined."
