I had not met her before, but I felt it even just through our email communications.  You are seeing her images online and you are all nodding your heads in agreement, am I right??? 

Arianne really gave herself completely to this project.  Not just with her application answers.  She really made herself vulnerable to the whole process and EMBRACED the experience.  She was brave enough to don my flower crown and she ROCKED IT! 

When I asked her what beauty means to her, Arianne said:

“To me beauty means believing in the truth about one’s self. When a person believes and feels they are whole and complete within themselves (flaws and all). When a person is empowered in self-love, acceptance and compassion... that is beauty to me.

I feel the most beautiful when I am in the truth of my heart, knowing that I am enough in every moment regardless of how I show up (even if I make a mistake).”

I think she has chosen the right career path as a life coach.  She has positive vibes and energetic enthusiasm in SPADES!  You can find her here.  In her words, this is what being a woman means:

“Being a women to me means living empowered. It means trusting in myself that I am acceptable and can be accepted in my successes and my failures. It means supporting other women in their own journey and helping them to be the best version of themselves - so they may also see the truth of who they are.”

Arianne is not afraid to travel inwards to the dark places where light can be shone upon.  She connect with others from a place of authenticity.  She told me:

“I have made myself very small and hidden most of my life due to childhood experiences and am now realizing that I deserve to be seen and heard. I am on a journey of self-discovery so that I can help other women be seen, heard and live empowered lives. I have experienced heartache and loss since I was a child and the recent loss of my marriage shattered me to a place where I needed and wanted to rebuild myself while learning about the truth of who I am, rather than letting the limiting beliefs of the loss I suffered define me.”

Thank you, Arianne, for participating in the 30 Days of Gorgeous blog series!  You have been SEEN, and I have no doubt that the positive energy you are putting out to the world will come back to you ten-fold.  You deserve it!
