This weekend, I have the honor of taking more than thirty head shots at the Blended Conference. Of all of those lovely ladies, can you guess how many were confident – truly confident that they were lovely?
Four.
I look through my little lens and stare into your eyes. Do you know what I see? It is an honor to just be around you. You are stunning. You have taken your life and you have done remarkable things. And it’s only the beginning. You are creating and writing and loving and sharing. You are making this world more beautiful and giving the rest of us little hints that get us through the day.

Will you let these words in? Will you hear me without dismissing this truth?
You are beautiful, remarkable, and wonderful.
Just whisper it to yourself – just once – “I am beautiful”.
Warmly,
Kate
Kate-

Kate, I can’t tell you how blessed I am that I meet you that day at Mimi’s last year. You are an amazing Wife, Mom, Blogger and I am so happy that I can call you a friend. We need to get together more often and I love you. Thank you again for take my first head shots and they look amazing.
Dear Asha, I’m so glad we met! It was amazing that even our husbands got along! I love you, too! Have an awesome week and thank you for spreading your sunshine!
Aw thanks for the reminder. I’m always saying, “If only…” or “If I just…” instead of fully embracing. No idea if I was one of the four or not, ha ha!
Megan, you are so welcome! You are so fun – I just love your smile and your spirit! I am blessed to call you friend. (And I’m not telling which of you were the four 🙂 )

Dear T.J., Thank you! You guys were all so fun!
Thank you so much Kate! I was so happy to see you there- every blogger event I think, “Oh, maybe Kate will be there too! I already knew I’d see you because I did the name tags. You are a joy & so much fun to strike a pose for!
Thank you, Carlyn – you are so sweet!!
You are the sweetest Kate, and a beautiful example to me. Thank you for this message and the photo on Friday. You totally made me feel better about myself in those few minutes we spent taking that photo. I also enjoyed your company at BC on Sunday! 🙂
Jillene, it was so great to get to know you better! I’m so glad we were able to sit together on Sunday! You have the best smile – your grandson is one very lucky little boy!
It was such a pleasure to meet you, Kate! Thank you so much for you kind words, pep talk and for the opportunity to actually “feel” beautiful! You are so good at what you do – I can’t wait to see you around the bloggyshere! ♥ I am already looking forward to next year! Hugs!
