On the issue of abortion, I'm ever on the fence, or, at most, an inch or two to either side.

I could be a vegan in sackcloth and flip-flops, but I find fabulous boots with periwinkle cuffs a far preferable option.

I firmly believe that everyone deserves to live within walking distance of either beauty or convenience, if not both.

To the people who love you, you are beautiful already. This is not because they're blind to your shortcomings but because they so clearly see your soul. Your shortcomings then dim by comparison. The people who care about you are willing to let you be imperfect and beautiful, too.

Your mission isn't a project to check off your list. It's a commitment to which to dedicate your life.

It's probably unfair to expect the world at large, or even most people, to see us for all we are. It is essential, however, that we see ourselves for all we are.
