Maybe the ground wasn't so bad.

Sometimes I just want to be back in Utah, with my friends, my boyfriend, Walden, and all the other things I love about Utah. Don't get me wrong, Minnesota is special to me, but this is hard.

The Ministery of Magic.

Yep. I was right. Airline employees are wizards and passengers are a bunch of muggles. We have all the magic, I mean, power in the airport. We don't have to wait in lines, we can fly, we don't pay full price for anything, and we get to go into secret places that muggles, i mean passengers, never see, or even know exist.

I have bad skin.

Dear Little Old Woman on the plane, Thank you for your advise on skin care. I appreciate your concern for my skin. I sincerely mean that.  But it occurred to me, "So I have bad skin. Thank goodness my skin does not define me, or the perception I have of myself. My face is clean, and I do what I can for it, so who cares if its not smooth baby skin? I am not a baby. So not me."

I am Amy Jo, and I am imperfect. I have bad skin and I still like me.

On the beauty/skin subject, here is a quote that helped me in my worst acne stages. “You must do everything you can to make your appearance pleasing, but the minute you walk out the door, forget yourself and start concentrating on others. When we become other-oriented, or selfless, we develop an inner beauty of spirit that glows in our outward appearance. This is how we make ourselves in the Lord’s image rather than the world’s and receive His image in our countenances.”

Remember when this was mostly a photography blog? Lets get back on that, shall we?
