Katie: My Beautiful Face

I saw Katie Piper on the news doing an interview and thought how courageous and open she was.

It's impressive to see how she can rise above when there are so many that complain about insignificant things (losing 5 pounds or fitting into a size 0, breaking a nail, not being able to go to a party, etc.). I include myself in worrying about petty troubles. Makes me appreciate the important things in life (family, husband, friends, health).  

Wow .... just wow.  Horrid that someone could do that to another human being, but am so pleased to see her recovery.  Am so glad she has a supportive loving family.

What an amazing young woman.  She is quite inspirational.  It is amazing that she has been able to overcome such a tragedy with such an amazing attitude. 

Wow, she really is inspiring! i hope she's able to continue to turn this into something positive and go out and speak to people about how she's overcome such a horrifying ordeal. i really hope i can see that documentary.

i think she's still beautiful!

Amazing! If only we could all recover in such a healthy manner when life throws us a curve ball!  She has an incredible spirit!  And she is still beautiful; though I'm sure she's had to reevaluate her own definition of "beauty".  Just an incredible story!

Wow... that is so sad. I don't think I could be as optimistic or hopeful.

Reminds me of this story on Oprah recently. This woman & her husband survived a plane crash and were severely burned. Oprah set up for a new mother who was overwhelmed to spend some time with the burn victim (also a mother) so she could appreciate her life.

I made the mistake of Googling 'Katie Piper attacked' because I wanted to read more about the story.  Mistake because one of the hits that came up on the first page was bizarrely some sick white supremacist site using the tragedy to support some sort of nazi anti-black agenda. 

She's still beautiful.

I looked up some other articles on her.  She is truly amazing!  I've been through some tough things in my life, but I don't think I could deal with that kind of trial with as much optimism.  She's truly inspiring :)
