Imagine if we could do that. Shed the layer of who we are and take on the skin/covering of someone else. This could be their physical appearance or their emotional attributes. But would we be able to change "our skin" like we do our desktop wall papers or backgrounds or cell covers? If I could change my skin..would I? Who would I be? What would I want to look like? And in so doing would it mean that I didn't care for "the skin I'm in?" Would there be others who would want to change their skin for mine...for my appearance..for my personality? I love the skin that I'm in. Sometimes I don't like it..but I do love it. I am who I am. I am comfortable being more of an introvert than a social butterfly. I am well pleased with my lithe size instead of voluptuous curves. I am happy being silly and goofy and thinking butterflies are the most exquisite things God ever made. My skin allows me to take chances in love and think about the consequences....sometimes after and not before. My skin I'm in creates an environment for people to be themselves and feel safe. My skin covers a lady..and that is what I am. My skin...my outer layer and my inner softness allows me to be me without fear.

I picked up a copy of this book, 101 Things to do Before You Die, by Richard Horne about 2 years ago. I thought it was neat to have some tangible things to shoot for in this lifetime. I haven't even accomplished 10% of the suggestions (join the mile high club! :-)) but here are a few I'm working on and some I've added on my own....in no particular order here are some on my to do list..swim with dolphins, go up in a hot air balloon, sky dive!, stay in the best suite of a 5 star hotel, show my love for the creator through my actions EVERY DAY, run a marathon, spend christmas on the beach, see a space shuttle launch, see butterflies in costa rica, make a committment to mentor, drive cross country, go skinny dipping in puerto rico, get married at sunset on the beach, go horseback riding, karoeke, publish some of my writing, find happiness everywhere, believe i am the most beautiful girl in the world, learn a foreign language, become an interior designer, visit Europe, resolve issues with loved ones....just to name a few :-)
This is ME! A caterpillar emerging into a stunning butterfly!
