Shapeshifting Beauty

This collection of essays was created over the course of one year as I personally delved deeply into a variety of aspects of beauty and healing. Seeing my world in such pain around the concepts of beauty ~ that very thing that ought to be our healing balm ~ inspired me to explore my own stories, thoughts, and ways I have healed (or not) my own issues of beauty. As a kaleidoscope, I looked from every angle, shifting colorful pieces of thought, in order to understand why we hurt so much, why we are trapped by what could be a liberation, and how we can shapeshift within as a contribution to the greater healing for our culture.
