“We all should know that diversity makes for a rich tapestry, and we must understand that all the threads of the tapestry are equal in value no matter what their color.”
~Maya Angelou
Today, Chelsi, Annmarie, and I spent the day in West Hollywood at the Grove and Farmer's Market. It was a good time. We had originally planned to go hiking in the mountains, but my car is still in the shop. I'm the only one who has driven in the mountains, so we decided it would be a better day to head into Los Angeles.
We had lunch in the Farmer's Market. Apparently, there was a world-wide photography something-or-other going on today. People were walking around the entire market with huge, fancy cameras. What's weird: we had our picture taken at least 6 times. Twice, we were actually asked to be in a photo. The other times, people were trying to get candids of us. It was strange. Flattering, but strange.
I don't know if this is true or not, but we have a theory for why people were taking so many pictures of us. We are all 3 of different races. I know it is 2010 and that equality is on the rise, but apparently, we are still an interesting sight. This theory could be wrong.
The thing is, I don't think about it at all when we hang out. Hopefully, my generation will be more and more like that. We're all different and we're all beautiful! Thank God for that!
