Don’t Forget To Chew, Life is Too Short

Dear Choking Brother In-Law, You sure made Father's Day eventful. Being witness to that incident reminded me, yet again, how fragile life actually is. You never when it will all come to an end. I'm thankful that Sunday was not that day because this world would not be the same without you. (Maybe next time chew instead of inhaling your food).

The Strength In Vulnerability

Dear Secret Sharers, I admire your courage. Last night, you all walked up to the microphone and told us your secrets - the shameful ones, the ones that hurt you, the ones you still cried over even though they happened years ago. You broke down. Vulnerable. And yet, there was so much strength in your vulnerability. There's something about sharing your secrets with a room full of strangers that connects everyone. Because we've all been in those places, lonely, uncertain, self-conscious, self-hating. And when you shared your secrets, it was like a collective burden lifted. So for your courage... thank you. - Heidi

True Beauty And The Illicit Views That Destroy It

Today’s letter was inspired by a girl named Quinn. She is anorexic. She is broken. No, her view of beauty is broken. It hurts to know that the culture I’ve helped create betrayed her. Dear Frail Beauty, It pains me t o know that you don't see your beauty inside. It pains me to know that I've contributed to the cutlure that's blinded you from it. Your honesty and heart remind me of what TRUE BEAUTY is and although you may not see it, so many others do. Because of your story and honesty, I will do my damndest to protect my girls from what our culture imposed on you. . . .I'm so sorry.
