I'm delighted to welcome you to Choosing Beauty!  When I first decided to pay closer attention to the beauty in my everyday life, I had no idea the concept would blossom into a business and touch so many people around the world. Creating a habit of recognizing the countless miracles in my midst provided light during some of my darkest days. 

    In October 2006, while I was sitting at a stoplight, I looked up and noticed a brilliant rainbow in the sky. Hoping others had seen the rainbow, too, I looked at the cars around me. Sadly, all the other drivers were too preoccupied to notice the rainbow right in front of us. I wondered how many rainbows or other beauty sightings I had missed by being too distracted and disconnected. So, I decided to force myself into the habit of noticing beauty daily, taking a picture and writing some reflections online every day for a year.

    It’s incredible what happens when you remember to look up; the project was transformational for me. The icing on the cake was hearing from people around the globe who were inspired to look for beauty in their own lives. How amazing!

    I know many days the world can seem pretty ugly, the future can seem pretty bleak. But when you start to pay attention to the good stuff in life, I swear the good stuff multiplies. I hope this site will provide you with resources and inspiration to recognize and redefine beauty in your own life. I thank you for finding the time to visit my site and, most importantly, for choosing beauty.

Blessings,
