Snowflake Challenge - Day 15
In your own space, create your own challenge. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.
Doing this challenge over the last month has made me ponder how the word 'snowflake' has taken on a different, and unfortunately negative, connotation with some of the more unsavoury sectors of the media and groups of people over recent years.
John Cleese once said: 'yes, I've heard this word; I think sociopaths use it in an attempt to discredit the notion of empathy.'
So, ignoring certain lowbrow opinions, let's think positively about snowflakes for a moment
- They're beautiful
- They're inspiring
- Each one is unique
- Individually they can be delicate; maybe even fragile. But bonded together they can paralyse a city or create an avalanche that can sweep everything before them.
And that made me think of my f/listies, and fandom in general ... and thus my challenge was born!
My challenge is to love yourself as much as I love all of you - my snowflakes. Leave a comment at this post telling me just one beautiful, inspiring or unique thing about yourself. It'll probably be something I already know, but maybe something you need to remind yourself of - this is your chance!
Let me see an avalanche of self-appreciation and beautiful snowflakery!

I love your challenge, although I always find it hard to 'big up' myself - like most Brits, I think! I am going to go with my optimism - I am a glass half full person most (not all!) of the time, which helps me cope with my health problems. And when I watch our show I look for all the good in each episode, not the bad as some 'fans' seem to love to do!
