i can’t believe it’s already time for the second installment in the You Are Lovely series.
man time is flying and i can’t believe we’re almost DONE with February!
i’m so excited to introduce Laura to all of you today.
i know some of you are regular readers of her blog, | A Hearty Overflow | as am i, but for those of you who have yet to meet her, trust me you will be captivated.
Laura loves the Lord and has the most genuine, caring, honest, and compassionate heart. i am so incredibly blessed to not only read her blog, but to call her a friend.
so grab a cup of something warm and dig in, laura’s perspective is absolutely wonderful.
enjoy.
feel free to learn more about the series and grab the button to share.

Yes! It is so awkward trying to get good self portraits. I discovered the same thing when I was taking mine for this project, haha!
I agree whole heartedly about beauty being an inner thing. So often I think someone is beautiful until I began to hear them speak or see how the act. And suddenly the appeal is lost. Great thoughts, here! 🙂
Great post, Laura! 🙂 I love that you're encouraging your daughter even now. And that you're there, setting the example for her too!
So many amazing words in this post! I love the innocence that children have, and I love that you encourage her to realize her inner and outer beauty.
Loving this series already, Amy! Hope to get my post to you soon.

Loving this series girl!
I love how she encourages her daughter like she does, so cool!
I am working on my post for you, so it should be to you sometime this week 🙂
Such a beautifully written post. I am always learning something from you two ladies and today's post did not disappoint. I loooved Laura's words on outer beauty and vulnerability–that is so true and something I never considered before.
And I also love what Laura (who I hope you're reading this by the way!) said about her daughter. It baffles me that at one point in our lives we consider ourselves pretty or beautiful and then in an instant we suddenly don't believe any of the words we once held dear to our hearts. Growing up is bittersweet, right? That said, I hope that kids never lose their sense of true beauty and hold onto those wise words Laura wrote!
I rarely wear makeup, but I do think it just looks more professional for business meetings and such. And sometimes it helps when I'm looking really rough 😉 But I've never dyed my hair. I used to hate the "dirty blonde" label, but I've gotten a lot of compliments on my natural highlights, and now it's one of my favorite features about myself.
