Wear your scars like jewels

Wear your scars like jewels Some things about me:

I love art, foreign films, reading, travel, and human rights.

Favorite artist of all time: Georgia O'Keefe.
Favorite movie of all time: La Haine
Favorite book of all time: There is not enough room here for that... Nerd alert...

“Travel cures nationalism”. Travel changes you; you step off the plane as a different person than when you stepped on. If you look at the world in the same way as you did before you traveled, you’re doing it wrong…

I frequently blog about issues that concern women and the disenfranchised as well as other global affairs. I also blog about body image issues. I'm confident most days, but for the days I'm not, I have to remind myself to wear my scars like jewels... I hope you can too, because "God has beautifully crafted you”....

My favorite part of going to yard sales are the dirt cheap, used books. There’s something really beautiful about buying a used book. Of course owning a new copy is very special as well. But when you buy a used book, you know that book has impacted someone in some way, just as it will impact you while you’re about to read it. It’s like the book makes a journey. It’s been in someone else’s life and now it’s in yours. I always donate garage sale books once I’m done reading them, because I don’t want to break that cycle…
