The Beautiful People Project is an in-depth look at what makes people beautiful on the inside and the outside - their outward appearance, ways of expressing themselves, their inner life and impacts on the world around them.

I started this project more than 12 years ago with individuals that many would consider physically beautiful.

The deeper we look, the more beauty we can find.

I was very favorably impressed by the many beautiful things they said - and a wide range of admirable goals they work to achieve in their personal and professional lives. This helped inspire me to change the scope of this venture.

Growth and change are good.

My life is fairly busy now, but I still find some time for this fulfilling enterprise. Here's more info for participants.

I'm interested in people working in diverse ways to create beauty - both outsiders and those within mainstream society. Participants may include activists, artists, writers, philanthropists and others working towards positive changes in their lives and the world around them.

Together, we can examine images and ideas of attractiveness and integrity - looking at people who are wonderful in many ways, finding both beauty and beatitude.

This is an opportunity for a diverse group of individuals to express themselves to the world.
