The manner in which women are viewed and portrayed in society is something that hits close to home.  I am so excited about this amazing campaign for women happening in the UK.  

In an attempt to "raise awareness of body image issues", bloggers are asking for women to speak out about diversifying the image portrayed in the media of women.  They suggest specifically the importance of our "imperfections" in making us who we are as individuals, and we are beautifully made.  

Disabilities, height, weight, race, etc. are things that make people unique.  We need to celebrate these differences rather than comparing ourselves to the media's image of "perfection" and feeling shame and despair that we never measure up.
