May this dress remind us to focus on our blessings, not our problems ...

“Live your life with purpose. Focus on your blessings, not your misfortunes. Focus on your strengths, not your weaknesses. Be yourself and don't wait for the approval of others. But most importantly, have a positive and humble mindset no matter what situation you are in. Count your blessings, not your problems, and you will realize how beautiful your life truly is.”

may this dress, and TedTalk, help us to see our challenges as 'magnificent gifts'!!!!

I suggest that you get some kleenix handy before watching this most inspirational talk!!! 

"Instead of looking at our challenges and limitations as something negative or bad, we can begin to look at them as blessings, magnificent gifts that can be used to ignite our imaginations and help us go further than we ever knew we could go."

Amy Purdy

This is the most inspiring talk that I have heard. I didn't know who Amy Purdy was or her story until this TEDTalk so I was truly blown away.  I find this woman inspiring and amazing!! I hope you do as well!!

peace, va
