You’re Beautiful

January 20, 2014

A few weeks ago we came across this beautiful video by Karen Walrond and shared it over on our Facebook Page. We liked it so much, we decided to post it here on the blog so it would be easier to find and where you can come back and watch it over and over. Because often it takes hearing a message over and over for the truth it contains to sink in.


We think you are beautiful!

 

hey you

(yes, you)

here’s something the media doesn’t want you to know:

you’re beautiful

it’s true.

 

and here are the top 10 ways to make sure everyone knows it:

  1. remember there are differences, but there are no flaws.
  2. there’s only one fashion rule: it if makes you feel awesome, wear it.
  3. be willing to be vulnerable, so you can also fully experience joy.
  4. control your own perspective. perspective is everything.
  5. another word for sexy? confident.
  6. breathe. deeply and every day.
  7. express yourself. often, kindly, and without apology.
  8. the adventure is in the attempt. embrace possibility.
  9. to remain youthful, never stop looking for the wonderful.
  10. and finally: create your own story. never let others create it for you.

 

because no matter what anyone says, there is an underlying truth:

you are different, and you’re beautiful

 

so
go
be
amazing

Has Nebraska Banned Abortion Completely After the 2024 Election?

January 2, 2025
Following the 2024 election, many people have questions about Nebraska's abortion laws and whether the state has enacted a complete ban. Abortion is not entirely banned in Nebraska. A proposed measure to add abortion to the state constitution failed during the 2024 election, while a separate measure that enshrined the current 12-week ban passed. What is the Law? The state currently allows abortion up to 12 weeks but with specific exceptions for certain circumstances. These exceptions include: Cases of rape or incest. Medical emergencies where the life of the mother is at risk or where continuing the pregnancy would result in irreversible physical harm. The legislation aims to balance restrictions with considerations for the health and safety of women under exceptional circumstances. What Does This Mean for Women in Nebraska? For women facing an unexpected pregnancy, Nebraska’s current abortion laws mean you have to be aware of the status of your pregnancy, especially for those who may not meet the legal exceptions. It’s important to seek timely medical confirmation of your pregnancy to understand your options. If you are unsure about how far along you are or have concerns about your pregnancy, seeking an ultrasound and professional advice can help clarify your situation and determine your next steps.
