Book Excerpt:"When I was a teenager, I used to look in the mirror (as many girls my age did and still do), and immediately notice the things about my physique that I did not like. Looking back at my high school photographs, what I would give to have "that" body back. The simple passage of time has made me keenly aware of the power of perception. I was not super insecure or paralyzed in any way. I did not spend hours putting on makeup or trying to tame my unruly curls, but I definitely did not "see" all the beauty that I do now. If only I could have perceived myself through the eyes of the "future me". It makes me wonder what the "future me" would say of the "now me". The fact of the matter is, that the teenage me was the now me, and the now me, is the future me. For, like God, I am eternal, and eternity is unfolding in and through me. How can I begin to perceive myself through less self-conscious, egoistic eyes?"
