Book Giveaway | The Beauty of Different by Karen Walrond

different: i'm double jointed
beautiful: i am donating 24 inches of my hair to locks of love in january

different - I adopted my third child after having 2 bios. It's always something I wanted to do and I did it!

beautiful - each wrinkle on my face, each gray hair shows a life well lived and well loved.

Something different?-that would have to be all the baby hair I have all over me!! I use to feel so out of place until I realize that makes me unique.

I am a sensitive person and cry at everything from commercials to cards. Lol! I am beautiful because I love to laugh and look at the bright side of things.

Reading this again before I hit submit I have to laugh because both these statements are total opposite of each other!

Different: I've lived in the States for over 10 years now but often still feel like an outsider and somehow different.
Beautiful: I'm okay with that, it no longer bothers me.

Something different - I've been married for over 41 years, a rarity considering I got married at 17. Beautiful - my very curly hair

I am a one of a kind, work in progress which makes me both different and beautiful. Happy December and thanks for the incredible give away.

I think my soul is beautiful. What's different is I amuse myself even at 31 years old.

I don't paint my toenails - something a lot of people I know find unbelievable. I don't appreciate put-downs or rude comments made about other ethnic groups or people with handicaps of any kind, whether they be small or large. Could go on but that would be venting!!

Thanks Ali!

I wear funky glasses because I need to see and should have fun doing it! :)

I try to be kind and think I am generally successful. I am 66 and when I look at photos from 50 years ago, I don't feel so beautiful, but now realize I am the same inside. What a comforting thought.

Something different: After the rat race of business world and having my own business, I went to work at the school so I could be with my daughter and now make in a yr what I used to make in a month.
Something Beautiful: Blessed and happy to have my uniquely difft daughter.

I'm still trying to find that different & beautiful part of me.

Outwardly I'm generally quiet and reserved, but on the inside sometimes I'm quite loud and obnoxious!

I think I am a strong woman - single Mom, 2 jobs, business owner etc but the strength that I think I possess which is different from many of my friends is that I can always move forward - take what the world gives you , take care of it , put it aside and move forward......our lives are too short to hold onto "stuff" that brings us down , takes up too much energy or simply is a waste of time.

This looks like a beautiful. I would love to take a look at it! THanks for the fun give away and for having such a fun inspiring blog!

I'm a work in progress even though I'm in my fifties. I'm learning about being kind to myself.

It is hard to find something that is beautiful about yourself, but if I had to choose something, I would say that I am a beautiful mom. I embrace my children for who they are, and love them unconditionally.

I have a really tiny hands. They did not change since I was 12 and I can wear my childhood rings. I like it :)

Different and beautiful about me would be my life experiences. They are unique to me and what I've learned from them is priceless.
