Because it's still December 7th in parts of North America -

The prompt for the 7th:

Community. Where have you discovered community, online or otherwise, in 2010? What community would you like to join, create or more deeply connect with in 2011?

Dreamwidth is the community that I've community that I've connected with the most, followed very closely by Twitter. Dreamwidth is Livejournal the way it should be, not the bloated lump of crap that it is now. If you haven't checked out their guiding principles or the site in general, now is the time to do it. Don't let a great community of people slip away.

Beautiful

Today's Prompt:

Beautifully different. Think about what makes you different and what you do that lights people up. Reflect on all the things that make you different - you'll find they're what make you beautiful.

What makes me different? A lot of things. Very few 6'0" curvy girls out there (try buying pants with a 34" inseam when you've got hips). Until recently, if you'd asked me what I thought about myself I was an ugly lump. But this month I've found the spark that makes me want to be a better person - physically, emotionally and mentally. I am beautiful - inside and out, and if someone can't see that, it's their loss, and not mine.
