okay, i'm putting myself to the challenge. a week of self portraits. now this is small potatoes compared to what erin, over at bluebirdbaby, is doing (365 days - amazing). but a challenge to myself, nonetheless. so here we go with day 1 :: monday...
i've been getting back into the rhythm of reading all of my favorite blogs again. and i'm finding it very interesting that several people are challenging themselves to self-portraits. looking to see the beauty in themselves. introspective. a good exercise, definitely. i think we, as women (particularly in our western culture)...are so often critical of ourselves. and to move into that positive space where we can truly see our own beauty is so very important.
yours on this beautiful monday,
shelley

What a great idea! I just posted a book review about a book called 'The Body Sacred', it goes right along with your comments about being overly critical of ourselves. maybe I will try the self portrait thing too. Blessings.

But I LOVE the premise behind this challenge.
