Same Body, Second Glance: Day Twenty-One
July 21, 2014 I am learning that my body is both a book of history and a work in progress.

Same Body, Second Glance: Day Fourteen
July 14, 2014 Let’s talk, for a moment, about the hard parts. The portions of our bodies that are difficult to accept. The picture I’m sharing with you today is a picture of my knees. They’re a little strange, as far as knees go. If I stand with my ankles together, they point slightly toward […]
