Follow me on:

Read: "Who is my true self? I am trying to rediscover that. Throwing off normalcy and becoming 'abnormal' is my goal. To do this, I need to embrace the Emily puzzle piece, accept it for what it is, then stand back and look at the beauty of it connected in its place." -- Beth Duncan, from Gifts 2, this week's featured book.

Reflect: Who is my true self? Has my child made it easier to find my true self? Can I imagine throwing off normalcy myself and standing apart?
