It is such a blessing to me, and I know, so many others. You have a special gift of communicating...it's not obnoxious, it's not weird, it's not crazy, it's not over the top...it's perfect.<br />Love you.Lyndsey Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08863279553251168729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34088970.post-72653432643986346792011-03-17T16:46:01.656-06:002011-03-17T16:46:01.656-06:00Love you girl -- thanks for this post! :)Love you girl -- thanks for this post! :)Chloehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12390965959814608184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34088970.post-11361329485108576512011-03-17T14:27:54.434-06:002011-03-17T14:27:54.434-06:00Love this post.

But I love that about him.

It's so funny how hard that is for me! I recently had a church event I was emceeing and felt compelled to not wear a stitch of makeup. It was awful and wonderful! Glad I'm not the only one!

I don't wear much to begin with, but I generally put my face on to go out, a habit passed down through the women in my mom's family. That was being real fir me today.

I don't mean in a sort of "I'm going to expose what I want you to see enough so it looks like I'm really honest but I'm really just using even that to craft my own image" kind of real. I'm talking about, "this makes me uncomfortable" kind of real.<br /><br />Is so awesome. You've just put into words something that I've been unable to for a LONG time. I LOVE this post.
