Gotta love yourself!

Just a little conversion fun:)
I think in order to fully love, you have to love and be comfortable with yourself. Nope, I'm not completely where I'd like to be in this, that's why I posting...it's forcing me to evaluate things and work on this area in my life. I have got to work on loving me the way God loves me! Right now I don't care for photos of myself...I can be critical (as I know many of us women can be.) However, it's important for me to face some of my fears head on, so that's why you're seeing pics of me today. I'm facing my fear and learning to love myself the way I am right now. I thought this was a good way to start off Valentines week and for my mom to see a recent snap of me-HI MOM!

Well, those are some fun and gorgeous pictures of you! I especially love the digital one that looks like a drawing of you... that's a fun flip on the standard photo! You are right about needing to love yourself first though.

Heather I am so proud of you! You are such a Beautiful person inside and out...you need to take and post more pictures of you! I love to see you, it feels like you are here in FL with me!

April said...

i just came on your page and my daughter said "she has beautiful lipstick"..thanks for your comment today. I actually use the same textures I usually do but the background of the picture is my dirty window, & my backyard blurred!! I'll post all the layers that I used on my blog so you can see!! You can save the flower picture and crop out the flower if you wanted to use that texture. you're more than welcome!

You are adorable. You look like and sound like you would be so much fun to have as a friend. I like your hair. Did you decide on a tatoo? I have always wanted one but DH says no way.I was thinking of sneaking one on my foot. Oh well I think I would be to much of a chicken any way
