ME BEING ME..........






So as I mentioned before I accepted the challenge that sweet Emily put out on her awesome blog.  This was not an easy challenge but then again I guess that is why they call it a challenge.....



It seems that over the past two weeks as I have been gathering courage and coming up with ideas for the challenge the same concept was everywhere in my life.  Friends on FaceBook asking questions about why people photoshop photos of themselves.  One friend (who happens to be a professional dancer and has a professional dancers body) commented..."how can you look at a photo of yourself which has been photoshopped to oblivion and think "wow I look good" knowing that it is not what you look like!" 

Then a friend and I got into a discussion about why the challenge was so difficult for me and I must say that it was eye opening to realise just how hard I am on myself especially when it comes to my outward appearance.  


This girl has some work to do........

Anyway here are the photo's I liked the best!!







So thank you Emily for the challenge and next time I will remember to enjoy it!!!

Way to go!! I'm so glad you did this, and I'm with Erin, I love the last one most. Looks like you're laughing and relaxed.

Knowing you were running from the camera to the spot for the picture makes it all the better!! You did such a great job and these showed how pretty you are! :)
