Finally, my favorite post of the week! Every Saturday night I take some of the photos that you have uploaded to the Facebook wall, and I post them here. I love This is Beautiful You because it gives me (and everybody else) an incredible glimpse of who we all are. It puts a face on the awesome people coming here. It gives us a beautiful idea of the uniqueness and diversity of the followers here at SDL. More than anything, it shows all of us just how beautiful we each can be.
Anyway, thank you for sharing a small part of yourselves. It’s my honor to put the spotlight on you today. This is beautiful you.
Which photos made you the happiest today?
If you’d like to send in photos to be considered for a future “This is beautiful you” and other future blog posts, please post them on the Facebook wall (we need lots more!). Only upload photos that you don’t mind me using, and that you have the rights to. The photos can be of yourself, or you with anybody that you love or are close to (kids, friends, significant others, parents, siblings, whoever!).
I wish I could post them all today. If your photo didn’t make it, check back over the next few weeks! The picking process is 100% random.

PS. If you’re new here, we’d love to have you find a way to follow along. We have a lot of fun around here.
This week it is definately the one with the two girls- the one cutting the hair of the other! What a great image of pure JOY
I'm not too fanatic with someone but one really I like the most is the one that posses a hairstyle. Everywoman that has a beautiful hairstyle makes her attractive. Combined with good acting skills and beautiful body, one could possibly say that she is near to perfection and that's what we admire most.
Thanks, Shannon. I wish I had more of your kindness, though.
Havent heard the looking at the stars quote like that too!
My all time favorite too!
Alyssa Brooke Logan..my beautiful daughter. She is a little me, (minus the cynicism and varicose veins) and one of the most original fun people I know and I love spending time with her : )
I have many beautiful people in my life - but these two are my shining stars right now: Arfan Malik, for being such a great and supportive Daddy and husband- taking our little princess out for the afternoon so I can study for important exams. Ally Stere, my BFF, for finding the strength to raise three beautiful babies and find the time to finish her degree with honors.
Thank you Addie. I am so grateful to have you in my life. You are an amazing young woman. Love you dearly.
My favorite quote of all time... Along with ...all of us are standing in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.
I love all these beautiful, ordinary, silly and happy family photos of real looking people in real life.

Serena Johnston, because she is the only one who
I am tagging my amazing aunt Ananya Rajan for teaching me how its okay to feel sad, and reminding me of the good I am learning to see in myself. Her sense of calmness and love is contagious. No words can express how thankful i am after all these years to have a person I can truly count on through all my bad days and all my good. It's through her I'm becoming the woman I have always wanted to be.

Tagging my beautiful friend Jennifer Ouellette-Varney. Lives life with grace and humility.
I know an entire group of woman that are beautiful... Way too many to tag, but they are all surrogates, and deserve the title beautiful as well as giving!
My momma! Gretchen! She's the best and I loves her so very very much!
This is my all time favorite quote! Love It!
I'm tired of dancing in the rain.
Pirate Mama was my favorite! :)
Sad mine didn't make it on this time! :-( But I love the momma with her pirates! :-)
Being from Massachusetts I have to say the Sox fans at Fenway. The sailor and his girl was great too.

My husband, Michael Falk, he is an amazing man. He has brought much beauty and love to my life. Not to forget our beautiful son too. :-) I love you sweetness!
Anita Monreal, my sis, who is gorgeous on the outside, but even more on the inside. I love her as much as I love my own children.
Christina Dollins is beautiful because no matter what life throws at her, she keeps a level head and a positive attitude; except when she doesn't, and that's when I have her back... :-)
I tag my beautiful cousin @Catherine Stafford, fabulous & gifted survivor of breast cancer, and her gorgeous and magnificant fiber artist mom Cynthia who left her battle to be with Jesus in 2011. Love you both more than words.

These are just a few...I'm surrounded & blessed by so many beautiful people
The beautiful Lisa Careyote. She is showing everyone that it is possible to live, laugh & love her way through kicking breast cancer's a$$. Always a smile, always a thankful heart, always beautiful.
Heather Perry--she's beautiful because she walks to the beat of her own tom-tom, she thumbs her nose at prissy-pots, and she venerates the Mother. A goddess in her own right.
Leslie Whalen--I think you're beautiful because you're mischievous with you planning in secret and your bright smile.
Stephen Larsen--anyone who has that majestic a backdrop must have the beauty within in order to appreciate it. Plus you kinda look like SDL. Just sayin'.
Wow. I'm going to follow the directions hehehe
My fave this week is the little girl with her Grandpa and the EASTER basket. My dad was always the Easter Bunny for my daughter. He's been gone a long time now but some memories stay forever!
my daughter-in-law, Heather Power; she is an incredibly wise, kind, and loving person, my son's best friend, and the mother of two adorable children.
My mom Donna Secrist is beautiful just because of who she is.

Hillary Poling she just always finds a way to make me smile & is always there to listen.

She also doesn't give herself enough credit for being absolutely stunning in her looks and personality!
