the photo is from 1998, at Sarita's God Parents place, the most amazing beach of north east Brazil. And to think I thought I was UGLY..... oh my, the things I could overachieved if I could see myself the way I really was.... not that I am un-happy what what I did achieved...but one always goes on a better path when there is an overall "I love myself- therefore I can love others" thing, right?
there is this wonderful North American writer friend of mine, Patricia V Davis, who write a book called The Diva Doctrine: 16 Principles every woman should know. One of those principles is :
"You are AT LEAST 10 times more beautiful than what you think you are" - and foes on explaining how you can check this out by just going back a bit in time to your old photos. She is so amazingly right. !!! TFL!!!!!
Aww this is beautiful Cynthia! Is that you and Sarita? I absolutely adore this page Cynthia! I so love the blending, shadowing and I love the layering and clustering of elements here... so precious and what great memories this page must bring Love this... That photo is wonderful!
@cfile thank you!!!!!!!!!!!! I was just writing credits and was saying how I thought I was ugly....it turns out I wasn't LOL and yes, I am learning to love my pages a bit more and not compare myself to others.... thank you for helping me on this path since day one...I can remember you in the very early times when I arrived here...you always were supportive and helped me being more confident and happier!!!!! Love you!!!!!! owe you a visit to your gallery, will do asap!!!! <3
Love the vintage feel to this. Don't we always think we are not good enough when we are in the moment? And then look back and see how beautiful we actually were?
This is so gorgeous, Cynthia!! Love the photo treatment and look at you...Miss Hottie! I was reading your other post and why is it that we have to be so hard on ourselves?? You are truly an inspiration to us all!! xx
Wow, wow, wow! I love this, especially how you used the little bird sitting on some stitiching, and the fabulous photo treatment and blending. Just gorgeous - YOU and the page. I loved reading what you said too. So true xx
