Exposed
I came across this by chance and I'm fascinated! Its called "exposed". The idea behind it is to stop criticising our bodies, or ourselves for the shape our bodies are in, and start to love and appreciate them instead.Check out the Exposed Movement to witness the power in these women!

Its a small world
Its always amazing to me how small the world is. Maybe it wasn't until I joined facebook that I discovered everyone knows someone you know. Did that make sense? Now I'm not writing about facebook , but about another strange reminder of how small the world is.
Let me give you some background knowledge. Doug has 3 brothers. 1 of those brothers passed away in a tragic car accident at the age of 10. His name is David. David was born Nov 9, 1964 and passed Sept 12, 1975. He is buried in Richfield township which is about 2 hours from where we live. With Alex having so many appointments in Akron these days we found it a good time to visit the grave. David doesn't have a headstone, or a marker of any sort . We called ahead and had the cemetery make a temporary marker so we would at least know where to look. I don't know the whys or details of the missing marker. The cemetery says there was never one placed and Doug remembers only visiting once or twice growing up, and never seeing a headstone. Since then they have removed some tree's and it all gets a little confusing. In fact, until last week , Doug didn't know/ or remember David's date of death. Not that he would have remembered , Doug was about 2 at the time of the accident. After pulling up the obituary it said that David was pronounced dead at Wooster Community Hospital Sept 12, 1975.
Here is where it gets strange. My birthday is Sept 10 1975 . So after asking my mom how long she had stayed in the hospital after having me , we discovered I was defintley in the newborn nursery when Doug and his brothers where brought to the ER . Doug had his ear stitched back on , you can still see stitch marks to this day. Who could have predicted that 18 years later I would meet Doug on a blind date? Its really bizarre, or at least I think it is.
