Mini Misfit Moment: Resisting the Ugly & Upholding the Beauty

from Isle of Misfits podcast · host Nancy Carmichael

If you know me, you know, I love me some beauty. Flowers. Waterfalls. Trees and bees. Skies and seas. All the scenery. All the beauty. All the time. It’s one of our core values after all: SEEK BEAUTY AND TRUTH EVERYWHERE. But maybe you've noticed... it feels like it's getting a little harder to find it these days... There’s been a lot of ugliness out there. If you’ve been on your phone or turned the TV or your computer or stuck your head out the  door even for a few moments, you know exactly what I’m talking about. And...well...  the ugly truth is...  even without all the yucky stuff going on "out there", if we're brutally honest, there's still plenty of yuck to deal with a little closer to home for each one of us. Raising my hand here. Even so... the good news is, beauty's still out there... maybe even closer than we all think. We just have to resist the ugly and uphold the beautiful.  And that's what this mini-misfit moment is all about!
