The “Beautiful You” Project is a series of articles, personal journal entries, poems, and song lyrics that God has used to heal my heart and given me to speak to the subject of image, worth and identity in the souls of women from all walks of life and experiences. It is called a “project” because our transformation is on-going.

DO YOU SEE WHAT I SEE? The Art of Truly Looking
