ellie hasn't been very good at keeping up with her blog.
ellie apologizes.
instead, ellie has been studying her tail off so she can get a scholarship and learn valuable tools that she can use to help others now, and in the future, when she starts her career in the field of psychologyslashtherapyslashwomen'shealth...

What prompted this post, you may ask?
well let me tell you....
it's the BYU Women's Service's 10 Day Body Image Challenge.
a.k.a. the Recapturing Beauty campaign.
you may remember me mentioning this last year. cause i did.
my girls and i at the closing ceremony last year
this campaign is all about looking beyond the surface, beyond the image in the mirror, and seeing ourselves for the divine women we really are. it's about recapturing the idea of true beauty that has been lost among the confusing smog of media influences and worldly expectations. beauty goes deeper than skin, than makeup, than clothes, than weight...
true beauty comes from the soul.
I am beautiful because my Savior, Jesus Christ, loves me.
He sees me not only for who I am now, but for who I can become. He loves me even with all my flaws.
He atoned for my sins so that I can live up to my true potential as a beautiful daughter of God.
and that's beautiful!
now i'm asking you:
what makes you beautiful?
peace out.
and pass it on.
