Are you kidding? I’m very vein. Literally remarkable? I find that having three titanium plates in my face is something to remark upon in mixed company.
This makes a great gift. One reason I find myself remarkable, I’m resilient. I can’t even count how many times I have been knocked down, but I never lose sight of the dream.
Love Grace.
The most remarkable thing about myself is that despite all the criticism and pressure to conform I’ve come up against, I still can’t help but be me. I am tremendously fond of how I always end up back on my own unique, crazy path in life without even trying.
I also really like my eyes – they’re big and green and remarkable; they’ve always been the one thing I’ve found physically beautiful about myself (even when I was an ugly duckling fourteen year-old!).
–xo.
I’m always surprised at how strong I am even when I think I’m not — I have reserves of love and strength that I can call upon even when I feel like I’m at breaking point.
I turn 29 on Wednesday and have survived being diagnosed with bipolar disorder, cancer, divorce, losing pets, moving to a new country, getting married again (haha), undergoing ivf treatments, and most recently, having to take care of my mother-in-law who is recovering from surgery. It all feels very daunting, but here I am! Strong and able and on top of it, most days!

I smile all the time!
Thank you for this lovely giveaway!
I am remarkable because I am 6’1″ and I still wear heels! Also because I got my undergraduate degree in viola performance and I have absolutely no desire to try to make a living out of it.
What is remarkable about me…? Probably the extremes in my personality, I’m a “grounded dreamer” and a “practical creative.” I have a super active imagination and can’t go through life without art…but I’m seriously practical and responsible, always on time, etc.
I am remarkable due to my natural hair colour (seasonal self-changing shades of auburn) and my eagerness to try almost anything once, no matter how wierd or gross or unusual.
It’s harder than I thought to mention things that I find remarkable about myself. I can laugh about myself, even when I thought I couldn’t. I think that’s pretty remarkable. I am completely dedicated to my family and loved ones, that’s something I am proud of. I am able to find beauty in ordinary things. I like that about myelf. And now, after typing all of this, I almost want to erase it again. Isn’t that silly?
