I enjoy seeing you, looking smart, long, lovely and graceful, just as you do in your writing :) Something captured for a moment and then never quite the same again, we all have beauty that moves. I once heard Donna Jean Thatcher Godchaux-MacKay (born August 22, 1947) an American singer, best known for having been a member of the Grateful Dead from 1972 until 1979 say this and I never forgot because it's how I felt about myself.

Like you, I barely see myself in mirrors and always wonder about those who can't seem to get enough of their own reflections? So, it IS brave to look, to capture, to present. This past year I went to a dream workshop in the Philo, California and was surprised at the pain that surfaced in regards to a childhood trauma via art and dream work. And this does have to do with mirrors and looking because one of the guides told me mirror therapy would be very important for me. I didn't go much further in that direction, I suppose she meant more self-acceptance, but it mostly brought up the laughable image of Jack Handy on Saturday Night Live. (Harsh self-judgment or leftover messages from my mother?) I'll be fifty this fall so I'd better make sure I'm working the karma wheel quickly. How do you think I'll do?

Whoops, see how I can't keep things straight, it's really Jack Handey with an e and he does something different.
It's the Smalley guy who did the self mirroring.

For now, I'm getting off from the computer. I may post something later for the Do Something Brave challenge, but if not, I must say there are parts of me afraid I will come off as ridiculously immature, that people will see the simple places that I've gotten hung up on (even if I am not able despite all of my efforts) and so, that is being vulnerable.
