"I believe in manicures. I believe in overdressing. I believe in primping at leisure and wearing lipstick. I believe in pink. I believe happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day, and... I believe in miracles."
-Audrey Hepburn
I know lots of girls love pink. But for me it's not the love of pink, but the ability to wear pink and be proud of it. Or rather to be happy with yourself just the way you are. This little girl loves hats and long hair. Dressing up. Playing with chalk and chasing her brother down the street in her high-fashion heels. I want her to always have this kind of confidence in her body and herself.

My grandmother passed away from breast cancer on her 2nd bout of it. I feel that she's guided me my whole life. I know she led me to my family. and has guided me to my husband. and been there when I needed someone to hold me. She works hand in hand with the angels. 

I, too, believe in miracles.

I've been inspired by my friend. She's had a rough couple of months. Even though the challenges I've had are infinitely smaller than hers, somehow I feel connected to her.  Her challenge started like this: "Last night was a hard night to fall asleep. I laid on Eric's chest sobbing, soaking his shirt with my tears. The day was not easy. There was a lot of contention between us. Feeling helpless is not an easy feeling to deal with, when help is out of your grasp. We were both upset, not knowing what to do, where to turn, and who to talk to in order to get the help we need." - L. Marsing Her husband had just been diagnosed with testicular cancer. This is how I would feel the next morning. Wrapped in my husbands shirt. Just to smell him. The way he is. To be alone. in my bathroom. Feeling so small. helpless. Praying to God that it would be alright. Just that it would be alright. And then to have to live my day. and meet him once more. and think ...

One of the things that makes children so wonderful, is that they are so curious about the world. How would it be to wonder so much about the world that you stick anything and everything in your mouth, just to see what it tasted like. I love when babies are this age. They have a wonderful curiosity, a love of life and big eyes full of wonder. What I wouldn't give to put myself in their shoes and really appreciate life for what it is. Toes, for the way they're shaped to support my body. The joy I can get from just being outside in a wonderful body in a wonderful world. This wonderful competition is over at iheartfaces.com   There's a ton of talent over there! Check it out.
