We’re all beautiful in our own way –
My husband and I recently had the opportunity to visit the Galapagos Islands off the coast of Ecuador. It was an amazing experience that allowed us to see animals and volcanic formations that have been around for thousands of years. One particular critter in abundance was the Marine Iguana … it wasn’t the most attractive creature I’ve ever seen, but beauty is in the eye of the beholder, right?
It reminded me that first, we all need to be comfortable in our own skin, and second, we should all respect others for the skin they’re in. The Iguanas were everywhere, lounging along the black volcanic rock, posed proudly, soaking up the sun. The males were very protective of their territory and the females were being very selective about the “One” they allowed into their space. Much like people!
I left with a new found awareness of “self”, a deep respect for nature and a burning desire to do lots more exploring of places off the beaten path. Get out and enjoy!
