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.
i love the one with the hot momand 3 kids.... believe me they are as beautiful on the inside as they are on the outside... an amazing family that i am proud to call part of my own!!!
my daughter Amanda Peterson shes not only beautiful on the outside shes got a beautiful heart. Everyone that knows her knows how sweet and special she is she is so loved by everyone that meets her. How do I know this I know my daughter.
My best friend Jennifer Kropp Tveten is a beautiful, giving and wonderful friend. She has come to be more like a sister to me and she is ALWAYS there when I need her. Love you!!!
My mom, Katie Cameron. She is not only amazingly gorgeous on the outside (She was a runway model and in a national Calvin Klein ad!) but she has the most stunning personality. She is caring, loving, giving, has the best advice (even if I don't always take it), and really is the best mom anyone could ask for. People are lucky to have her in their lives and THEY say that, not just me. Love you Moma~
My good friend J Matthew Heaney, when life gets tough (or tougher) he picks himself up, dusts off and throws a dinner party! Matthew- I wish I could be there to hug you and let you know how proud of you I am.
My sister, Mindy has the biggest, most beautiful heart! She take care of everyone...I hope she'll let me take care of her sometimes. I'm so very grateful for her today and every day. I love you, Min. OXOXO
My sister, Laura Chase is beautiful. She is strong, generous, and loving. She knows me inside and out, has never judged me, and will always be there for me (and vice versa). Everything in our lives has worked to bring us closer together, so some good came from it all.
I am so blessed in my life to know some very beautiful people. As Plautus says, "I would rather be adorned by beauty of character than jewels..." So I have to tag several people: Grace Moore and Caleb Moore - my wonderful kids for their hearts, their generous spirits, their laughter; Debi Mealey Pitcairn Flory for being one of the most beautiful and humble souls I know, and my best friend Kathryn/Maggie (who has managed to avoid FB). She is my beautiful soul twin and I don't know how I would still be breathing today if it weren't for her. Thank you for encouraging this space. Namaste!
I have been waiting for this day to roll around!! The person that I think is BEAUTIFUL would have to be Jamie Cromwell Himes! She has taken a heartbreaking loss and used it to make herself an amazing and encouraging inspiration to so many people. She is a military wife and an AMAZING mother to her 2 little boys, one in Heaven and one here . Love you Jamie! Thank you for being so awesome!
Eve Pribel would most definitely be my most beautiful person. I have never "met" Eve, but we have been friends for several years. She is one of the most genuine people I know and never fails to be there for her friends. I am not sure if she even realizes how much she has meant to me and has done for not just me , but myfamily over the years. She would never take credit herself for the person that she is, so I want to give her the credit she deserves. I think others would agree in an instant that she is beautiful through and through!
Misty Headrick is my favorite... her and her whole beautiful family. :)
I thought you had said something about not uploading pictures of babies and children..?
I definitely have to tag my bestie, Taryn Christmas! She's an amazing friend, mother and daughter. She's my inspiration to be the best woman I can be and, especially, the best mama I can be. Truly, God gave me you, peas!
daddy giving baby a bath! the relationship between father and child is priceless, and sadly, so many fathers stand on the sidelines these days . . .
Love the baby in the swing. She has gorgeous hair...Plus I'm always touched by fathers that find their kids worthy of their time!!! So kudos to all the fathers in the pics above!!!
They're all really great but the one that really caught my eye was the family with Santa!
Love them all, but my absolute favorite.....Daddy giving his baby a bath! The look in those eyes priceless!!
