"When there is a crack in my mirror, I can't see myself as I am- all I see is the crack. The crack tells me that there is something wrong with me, that I'm not enough and this is how others see me, too. It's not a question of finding a better mirror. It's about seeing beyond the crack. I am not, nor ever will be, perfect. But I don't need to live for approval. I need to live for acceptance and joy in the unique, worthy, lovable, beautiful, sacred being that I am and to celebrate the same thing in others. That's seeing beyond the crack. I'm learning to love my imperfections; in the end, they make me who I am, in all my flawed glory." (pg. 111)
