This is pure gold! In light of everything going on in our world, this simple truth rings loud and clear. Different isn't bad or scary or wrong - in fact, it is beautiful when we learn to embrace it!

In light of everything happening in our world the past few weeks, I find myself loving this sentence even more. What if kindness and respect trumped not just curiosity but also fear and anger and ignorance?

"When we compare and compete, we divide ... But when we connect, we bridge."

Sharing how their family has learned what true beauty is through the life of sweet Brenna, Courtney invites all of us to reimagine what beauty is in our world.

Poignant storytelling full of grace, hope, and challenge.
