Mrs. C, thanks for your comment! It is too bad that sometimes judgment affects our culture. I love how Al is, as the saying goes, comfortable in her own skin. I think most of us struggle with that process, though, so know you are not alone with that, too, with the quest to not let anxiety get the best of you. (I struggle with that, too!)

Sending hugs your way.

I am an inactive member who is considering returning to church. I also got a very visible (most of the time) tattoo during my period of inactivity. It is not offensive in any way and is a tribute to my late mother, but I must admit that I am afraid of facing the potential judgment of others if I return to activity. Seeing Al give her testimony and reading so many positive reactions to her story really helps me to feel better about my own situation. It is a shame that some members can be so judgmental at times, and I can only hope to be as strong as Al and not let my anxiety get the best of me!

Her story is inspiring…like, makes you want to smile and jump up and down! Very cool. Thanks for sharing! I hadn’t heard her story before.

Her interview on YouTube with The Cultural Hall was very interesting–seeing into her conversion and hearing about her choice *after* her baptism about whether to be offended or not when others said insensitive things about her tattoos to her in Utah. She’s a good example to all of us.

Love your blog and the way you scatter sunshine about all things Mormon/Women 🙂
