the i am project :: make your mark
July 18, 2011
The I Am Project :: Our wish is to affirm and inspire the beauty in every woman, to celebrate the uniqueness in each of us, as well as the commonalities that unite us as women. We want to create a space to confront the dark places that come with growth; to witness women being valued for more than their bodies, clothes, or societal projections; to feel inspired by stories and images; and to become more deeply rooted in who we are as women. We want to become a net of resources that will nurture and fortify each other's confidence, and fill women with awareness of the extraordinary beauty that each of us uniquely brings to the world.
Questions, thoughts or feedback about The I Am Series? Send them to iamproject.us@gmail.com. We would love to hear from you!
We welcome you to repost and/or share these images if you wish! We also respectfully request that you credit and, preferably, link back to Because It's Awesome as you do so. It's easy to do, and it's good blogger practice. Many thanks!

sometimes i come across things that incite an audible gasp. and then my heart stops for a second. coffee usually exacerbates this issue, so i have to drink half regular half decalf. it annoys husband to no end, but it's safer that way.

time to get away
hubs and i are headed to dallas, texas soon to visit family and get some much needed R&R. i always welcome the excuse to get away! we'll actually be just north of the city with only a couple of days in dallas proper, but i'm looking forward to hitting a few shops and/or great eateries while we're there. suggestions welcome!

if you've been reading for awhile, you might recall that i had a tiny crush on a certain anthropologie pillow awhile back. well, just a few days ago, i spotted a lamp shade in the same pattern. and since it's on sale, the price tag is a bit friendlier . . . i'm thinking it could be a fun way to spice up a corner.
