Jan 3 – um, no.

I decided not to write today because I didn’t want to. Instead I did a photo shoot. The purpose of my selfies is always to help me feel more beautiful and and to help me embrace more ugly.

There was once a dating site post and the guy said: “Show me your best photo. And then feel free to show me your worst.”

I liked that.

I show myself and the world (or the two people who read this) the worst of me because there is beauty in ugliness.

There is also ugliness in beauty.

So my best photos are perhaps not what you might imagine. And here we go.

My favorite is the first because it’s….a good photo!

This next one is me being extra sweet followed by a generic Facebook headshot and then a little attitude.

And this next one I just love. It’s like me and Jabba the Hutt had a baby…who aged! I just like the colors and the textures and the fearlessness in accepting all that neck flesh.

And finally this is just me.

End of photos. Good night. Write ya later.

  1. Dang! Three of your posts just hit my email within minutes. This could take a second to catch up.
    Did I mention I’m still working on – ie: started, who knows when I ever finish? – my Christmas week post?
    That black and white was awesome.

    1. I have a Covid post like your Xmas post. I am kicking butt to write or at least create most days but that doesn’t mean I can post on the same day so I got all caught up with most of what was usable in my draft que for the week.
      I don’t know how you people write books when all I can manage is to describe my last mani-pedi or whatever.

  2. I really need to get off my phone and open my laptop…it’s literally been years now. But I have two WIPs I could wrap up editing in a matter of weeks and two projects ready to draft. Alas.
    So I might need to have you kick my ass instead of praise me. 😉
