One of my favorite pictures of myself features about 3 chins, but my husband and I are so happy and laughing :) I think that was the turning point in my “just be as you are,” anti-filter crusade.
Has anyone else noticed how extremely critical people are online these days? Was it always there and I didn't see it? Or did people recently migrate from Twitter to Instagram? I'm saddened by the critical spirit running rampant in our society. Why must one comment how everyone is doing motherhood wrong, and skincare wrong, and enjoying the outdoors wrong, the list goes on... Could our obsession with filters be a reaction to what seems to be the incessant critical spirit our culture seems to have? Whereas the only way to quiet the critical voice is to offer it impossible perfection?
Thank you for showing us your beautiful face. It inspires the rest of us to do it too. :)
I’m guessing the Irish woman was smiling(?). There is no greater beauty in the world than the honest smile of a confident person.
So scared you’ll think I’m some sort of creeper but I hope it’s OK to say you have a great smile. Imagine a fitness routine that emphasizes building those smile lines.
As a woman in her sixties.... very early.... LOL... I look at photos of me in my 40s and can't believe how young and relaxed I look. A wise someone once told me (an older woman probably) you will never look "better" than you do right now.... so I have learned to love how I look now.... whatever better might mean :) Oh and you look lovely and happy and wonderful!
I think your smile and beautiful spirit shine through for you. But please take care of your skin! My lovely Scandinavian/Irish wife is fighting an ugly skin cancer battle right now.
Thanks for sharing this. I have had mostly grey hair since I was in my early thirties. I tried coloring it once and the color didn't take and I was back in the same boat in 6 weeks. Deciding I didn't have the time or money to deal with it, I embraced the "salt and pepper" look. Now in my mid-50s it's mostly silver and I get compliments on my hair color daily. - "how did you get to that? I've been coloring for years and don't know how to let it go." I love that we have choices about our appearance - to color or highlight our hair, wear make-up or not, but I'm so glad I didn't chase my hair color all those years ago and embraced what I felt was best for me.
