Book Giveaway | The Beauty of Different by Karen Walrond

I can't make mouth noises. You know, how most people can imitate things? I can't do that. But I try and it makes my fiance think I'm adorable. :)

Different: there is only one of me
Strength: love to laugh

I was the tallest girl in my highschool, but that was okay, my Dad was proud of my height. My feet were also the biggest among the girls in school and the nearest store that carried my size was 100 miles away! (Size 12 5A over 7A) They rarely make that size anymore, I have always wished for normal feet. Another big desire was that I could draw and my college grand daughter has been given that talent, so I can enjoy her work.

I am a very laid back and go-with-the-flow type of person. Definitely different from some of those around me!

Although you asked to say what is different and beautiful about me I couldn't help but think of how great this book would be for my daughter. She is a black single adopted child in a community where 99% are white, biological children living in large families. She is strikingly beutiful in not only her appearance but her creativity, knowledge and personality. She inspires me to look at life in new and different ways all the time. Although we are constantly trying to tell her about how we are similar (we all have two eyese, one nose, etc.) as well as talk to her about how special she is with her unique traits, she can't help but often feel like she sticks out like as sore thumb. How wonderful it would be to have this book to celebrate her as different AND beautiful. And win or not win, thanks for sharing as this book will definitely become part of our library.

Hmmmm, what's different about me....I love to read cookbooks. I can find all the time in the world to scrapbook and be creative and zero time to exercise. Go figure.

beautiful and different: i love to learn, share, be alone, homeschool my four kids, and see my life through the lens of my camera while trying my best to live in a mindful manner.

i can't wait to get my hands on a copy of the book!

I love to golf!

What is different about me? I am like no one else. I am unique. That alone makes me beautiful.

My family tells me they love how I always have my camera with me capturing the everyday.

I have was born with big lips (no collagen here)...I use to be embarrassed by them but my mother always said you tell them they're better to kiss with!...Now as an adult I think they are beautiful! I think they are b

different ... I try to be my own person, not "fit in witht he crowd"
beautiful ... because my husband says I am, even when I first wake up!

I too am struggling to find my inner self. I spend all my time caring for my wonderful children, but don't pay attention to myself. Would love this book!

I am always there to help my friends if they need it!

I am almost 40 with naturally blond hair.....people are amazed that I don't color it. I hated it when I was younger, but I now appreciate it.

I am very tall and big and I love my family and friends madly.

A true red head.

I have funny "pixie" bumps just a bit on my ears. Beautiful, different and just me. One of the first things my husband noticed about our first born son was that he had them too. Fairy blood breeds true, it appears.

there are so many things that make me beautiful, but one that i really like is that i am not afraid to admit when i am wrong, nor am i afraid to say i am sorry when necessary, BUT i will fiercely defend my position until proven wrong.

I'm a really picky eater, can still do the splits (ha!) and love to be creative!
