		<description><![CDATA[My acne was only skin deep. My skin won&#8217;t stop me because beauty is both inside and out. I believe that no one can define us, unless we allow them to. While growing up as a teenager, I suffered from moderate acne and it made me feel very insecure and embarrassed. I think it made me so insecure that many of my classmates and peers thought that I was shy, not knowing the pain that went along with it. There were many jokes and whispers that occasionally you would catch from others when they thought you didn&#8217;t hear&#8230; I still remember one of my so-called male friends talking to another guy saying &#8220;She&#8217;s a 15 footer&#8230;&#8221;, not knowing what that meant. I finally asked what that meant and was told that up close, not so good looking!! I was hurt by those types of comments and they stay with you for a long time, even after the acne heals. I know Eben through my daughter Sara and I can tell you that she is a beautiful person both inside and out&#8230; and I feel her pain! That being said I can connect with her insecurities about self-image. Stay strong Eben and I wish you all good things and never let your skin stop you!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#160; I am so thrilled to announce our My Skin Won&#8217;t Stop Me Movement at WIRL Project!! We&#8217;ve collaborated with Caysia, an all natural jewelry company, and WIRL Project member, Eben, to come up with this awesome story-sharing initiative to support Psoriasis research! To be involved, click to visit our My Skin Won&#8217;t Stop Me page to learn all the details, but here is a rundown: The Challenge: It may not be Psoriasis, it may be Acne, wrinkles, Eczema, a scar, or even the color of your skin; the point is, we all have something.  We are challenging you to share your skin insecurities and tell us why your skin won&#8217;t stop you! 1. Agree to the challenge and &#8220;Contribute a WIRL&#8221; with the tag &#8220;My Skin Won&#8217;t Stop Me&#8221;. WIRL Project will donate $1 for every WIRL contributed towards this My Skin Won&#8217;t Stop Me movement! 2. Once published, share your WIRL on social media and encourage others to become a member of WIRL Project and get involved. 3. Support our cause by purchasing a bracelet, called &#8220;Eben&#8221;, to raise awareness and by doing so, Caysia will donate some of the proceeds to Psoriasis research! It&#8217;s so easy to do, so please take the time to join WIRL Project and share your story. Nobody&#8217;s story is too big or too small, too elaborate or too boring; as long as you&#8217;re being real, we want to hear what it&#8217;s really like for you. Thank you for supporting our cause and I can&#8217;t wait to read your WIRLs and empower, educate, and inspire through story sharing! &#160; *Oh, and don&#8217;t forget to use the promo code: EBEN when purchasing your &#8220;Eben&#8221; Psoriasis bracelet from Caysia; the link is listed below! &#160; I&#8217;ve also included a video (below) to explain and guide you through the My Skin Won&#8217;t Stop Me movement.]]></description>
