In a World of Noise, Beauty Still Speaks

"The universe provides us lures to beauty... if we pause long enough to notice."

When was the last time something moved you to tears? Not from sadness, but from experiencing the pure, unexpected beauty we are surrounded by? 

Raised in Missouri, I saw my sensitivity as a weakness. Embarrassed by a deep empathy and tears that came easily. But when my mother whispered, "Etch this in your memory," during moments of beauty, I later discovered she was teaching me to treasure what others often miss.

"Things of Beauty Make Me Cry" is an invitation and a collection of stories from the Legit Parenting Podcast. I share the moments that have pierced through my armor while also exploring the paradoxes that make beauty so powerful: how it emerges from vulnerability, transcends tragedy, and hides in plain sight, among others. 

Trust has reached historic lows in our modern world; these stories remind us that beauty exists alongside our deepest pain. The invitation is transformative yet straightforward: slow down and seek beauty daily.

Carry these moments with you. Let them remind you to see the beauty in being human.
