Book Giveaway | The Beauty of Different by Karen Walrond

My Strength, Drive and Determination...

I thank God that he has given me this qualities to get through some tough and challenging times.

THANK you for the reminder to stop and take a look at the beauty that is all around us.

I am different because I can look at a handful of M&Ms and immediately come up with a plan to eat them in a specific color coded, numerical order. (A la Rain Man with the toothpicks....Drives my hubby nuts!)

I am beautiful because I always want to be sure that the people around me are comfortable and content.

i have embraced over the last few years that I am a working mom (which is different than what i grew up around and my social circle). But it is what works for our family and provides stability. It is a good thing. :)

I homeschool our five children and try to make our home the place people want to spend their time!

i am a grandmother so my grandchildren love that i do crafts and let them create in my craft room.

I am different in that I am absolutely obsessed with all things photo, craft, scrapbook, family heritage related. Some of my family scrapbook, but they dont' think about it 24/7 like I do.

I use to be super quiet and even when I thought of something clever of funny I would keep it to myself. One day I FINALLY said something I was thinking out loud and everyone cracked up. Sometimes it's hit or miss but I love making people laugh so I don't keep quiet anymore. I learned to not care what others think and that was the most liberating feeling I've ever had! I think it came with age for me. I just wish I'd realized it sooner!
I've learned most things don't need to be taken all that seriously!
Thanks for the chance to win!

I dance at the store I work at when a song I like comes on, doesn't matter if there are customers or not.

I got my nose pierced at 33 and love it!

I am always the one who says, "what if..." or sees the other side of a view point, even if I don't agree. It's better to be informed than not. Thanks for this give-a-way, Ali.

Different: I am very good friends with my ex & his family. (He even came when I wed my forever husband). And we had probably one of the worst divorces ever!

Beautiful: Christ died for my sins (forgiveness). I try to forgive others as well.

I would LOVE to win this & share it with my 15 year old VERY unique, free thinking girl. She is who I strive to imulate.

Thanks for the chance to win.

While I often masquerade as a cynic, in truth, I am a foolish idealist - that makes me both beautiful and genuine.

This strikes a real chord with me -- too personal to share on the "interwebs" but learned through therapy. My "difference" is what saved me.

I am different in how I look at what people think of each other and themselves. I like to empower my children to be different thinkers! This book looks amazing.If I don't win I will definitely
by a copy. thank you for all the great giveaways! Good luck to everyone.

Different- my sense of adventure. I have one, most of my immediate family doesn't.

I have a cool scar on my temple from when I was a kid, a mole between my toes, crazy eyebrows, and curly hair. What makes me beautiful? The smile that graces my face when I look at my babies!

I broke my nose when I was young - as a result it has a bump on the bridge and if you look closely you'll see that it's crooked. It's a unique nose, it's mine and I kinda like it :)

Beautiful: my smile
Different: My outlook on life: everything happens for a reason.

Look all the world over, there's no one like me, no one like me, no one like me. Look all the world over, there's no one like me. There's no one exactly like meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

I have a gift for seeing a situation or issue from many different perspectives.
