I was given a challenge to post 5 images of when I felt most beautiful this year, I gave it much careful thought and enjoyed going back through the memories of my photos. I turned around, there I saw where the beauty flourished: in the times with friends, family, creations, new beginnings, good byes, service, and being in zen moments. Beauty is a term that can confuse most people and obscure their view of reality when you get too focused on what a societal beauty in physical form, that can be an unobtainable standard at times. I feel beautiful when I am happy, when I am with people I love and who care about me, when I am in the peaceful moments between breaths. I have been called all the names in the English language both on the positive scale and on another scale that I would never repeat out loud. One has been ugly, said by a person in anger, who wanted to say that my physical attraction directly affects if I am worthy of love by another human. I am here to say it doesnt. In fact NOTHING I do, say, or how I look diminishes that I deserve to be loved. EVERYONE deserves love every single moment of the day and our insecurities will not dictate that validity. I will be loved. You will be loved. And together we are love. I am a passionate person, sometimes I forget to wash my hair because I am too busy making a better space in this world. I dont shave my legs unless the moment seems right. I will not apologize to any one if my appearance offends them, turns them on, or is distracting. This is me. Truly I wear makeup, clothing, shoes based on my mood. In general, I want to ride fast on my bike and let the wind whip my hair around without a care in the world, because I have very little cares when I am a biking gazelle in this urban jungle. The images I chose are from times of happy memories captured, thanks to the photographers who are in my life, to the service I gave to an individual who gave her all when I needed her most, when I was given a month to showcase my work in a gallery, when I said goodbye to all the painful memories from some tacky glasses, when I was with a divine goddess living our dreams. There were a few images that almost I put in, like the times I traveled to California, being in Park City with a group of movers and shakers, and when I painted in the rose garden. Heres to you. Now I challenge you to be happy, healthy, and beautiful always. Share your 5 photos of beauty.
