Since moving to Haiti, feeling beautiful has been far from easy. I've gained unwanted weight and a new acne problem. It's not easy or practical to keep up to speed on the latest fashion trends. I don't spend loads of time making myself look fabulous because I know once I step out the door into the blazing heat and humidity, I will sweat off all the hard work. My hair is almost always in a messy bun (not necessarily the cute kind). Perfume? Forget it! I don't need to attract any more mosquitos.
Just recently my dear friend, Lauren, asked to take some photos of me. After she edited and sent the photos my way, I was quite delighted (not in a conceited or vain kind of way). For the first time in awhile, I felt like a beautiful woman who was fearfully and wonderfully made by a magnificent Creator. (Also, sported one of my favorite finds from my good ol' thrifting days. It's so 90s, I even had to cut our the shoulder pads!)
