There aren't enough words to convey my gratitude for each and every one of you... you took a chance on a big goofball who wanted to learn to love her body through expressing it. I hope I didn't disappoint you! This year, I've learned to appreciate myself through creating art, modeling professionally, pursuing aerials ( something I only dreamed of), met my goals, got published, made the cover of a magazine, started in-person volunteering at an animal shelter, and didn't feel sad by the girl in the mirror. YOU DID THAT. With your support (emotional and monetary), I was able to confidently pursue my truest dreams and create and experience beautiful moments with myself. YOU! I APPRECIATE YOU! You've done more for me than you'll ever know... thank you. For being you and for going on this journey with me. 💜 Lauren
