I have been thinking about Jamie and what he said regarding my ethical responsibility to this blog. I have learned not to discount his thoughts and opinions on matters because his influence on my has been life changing. Small changes over time have turned into significant expressions of new ideas, philosophies and growth in spirit.
As a result, I decided to push the envelop further. Deciding to post more of what I normally would have surpressed. Daring to be me and in the process discovering the people who will love me for who I am. With my flaws. With my goodness. With me as a person of substance and shallowness all at the same time. So, I decided to post a photo of me that I decided not to post the first time I saw it. A conscious decision to represent myself in a more flattering way in an alternate photo selection. So here it is. Back fat and all. This is who I was in this moment of time....
So while life is not always pretty as seen above. It is beautiful. Even though I look fat I was feeling happy and satisfied. Spending time with my best friend in the gardens I love so much. Having lunch, spending time, sharing our love of photography. Life is definitely beautiful...
No matter how it looks on the outside, on the surface, dig deep...to what really matters. You too can find the beauty - if you look for it!
