Sharon~past AANR Vice President

During my formative years, input from society, my small hometown, and my evangelical family directed my worldview--from beliefs to dress to behavior. In my twenties I had a sudden realization followed by a liberating epiphany: I could not possibly meet all those expectations; there were simply too many rules to successfully obey. On that day I knew in my heart that the way I lived the rest of my life would be MY CHOICE, not that of someone else. Since what to wear was a significant piece of especially the evangelical input, it is not surprising that nudism became, for me, a visible statement that my life is MY CHOICE.
