Please, Be Yourself

     I saw two things on Facebook this week that I really liked. I thought I would take the two things and turn it into a craft for myself.

     The first thing I saw was a little craft idea for kids. It was done on the brick wall in someone's backyard. They took tape and made a big square and then made shapes inside. The kids colored in the spaces and when it was done, they took the tape off and hand a neat design on their wall.

     The second thing I saw was a cross stitch one of my cousins did. It said "Welcome Feel free to be yourself." This struck a cord with me. 

     I try to have our house be a judgement free zone. I'm a firm believer that there is good in everyone. 

     Everyone has a different background, different struggles, different beliefs. No one fits perfectly inside of a box. We are all just one piece of a giant puzzle. I believe our differences are what makes us special, what makes us shine.

     No one should have to hide their shine.
