It's a beautiful world out there.

I was at the coffee shop the other day, and I met the most beautiful plus size gal that I have met in a long time. I am talking in an appreciation context. She had stopped me and commented about liking my pink sweater, and when I looked at her, she had a very different style about her. It was not the norm like make up and hair so perfect. Her style was simple and totally her own. She was I'd say mid thirties, her hair was thinner, and short, blonde and kind of a longer mowhalk style. She dressed in a simple cotton feminine style blouse, and you could just tell she was very comfortable with who she is. I am still taken back by that moment. We chatted a little and then I left. She had this profound effect on me. I love to see real women confident and comfortable in with who they are. It was awesome. I strive for that, it sounds corny but she was truly beautiful in my eyes.

It's those moments, when people like that can touch your life in silly but fascinating ways that inspire me.

I only hope that I pass that magic on to someone once in a while. That is something that speaks to my heart.

Love who you are, appreciate who you are.
