Hi, I’m Sarabeth.
“Perfection is an illusion. Grace is reality. I want women to feel beautiful, confident and comfortable in their own skin.”
-Sarabeth DiCostanzo
I'm a wife and mother of 3, two are with me and one has gone ahead to be with the Lord. In my 20+years of walking with Christ he has always been right by my side (whether I knew it with certainty or felt it, is a different story LOL). From my 10 year struggle with Chronic Lyme Disease, to losing my daughter to Trisomy 18 and to now navigating the ups and downs of being a parent and a Mental Health Trauma Professional, He has been right here. And He is with you as well.
Through it all, God has taught me a great deal. I've had to learn how to be still. I've had to learn how to surrender and I've had to learn how to trust and obey Him, during my most painful and darkest hours. But even thru all of the fulfilled promises and many battles won, my greatest challenge has been knowing and living out my true value in Christ Jesus. This has been the greatest lesson of all. And this, is where our journey together begins.
My true passion is to help all women know and live out their true value and worth in Christ. I pray that our journey together here will bless us all and draw us closer to our creator and author of our lives. Let’s start that journey Today!

In her water color and acrylic art pieces, the woman are both beautiful and imperfect. No smooth lines, symmetrical feature or clones.
