...and now for something completely different...

I love sundays...mostly because I can lay in bed and read, snuggle with my kitties or my boy...depending on the weekend...and generally just relax!
Last night marked my return to nude photography. After a particularly fun time at a figure drawing group yesterday afternoon I decided it was time...I'm okay with the results although my lighting was sub-par and I didn't do much planning for it. Having my tripod made the whole process smoother and easier
I'm feeling quite good on my new med adjustment and have finally gotten used to the new amount. No more sick yucky feelings for me. I also find I'm feeling more energetic during the day...most days; there are a few afternoons that require a quick doze on my break. Other than that, all is well.

On that note I wanted to make a few quick comments on my latest series. The pics aren't fantastic, but due to a certain discomfort in my own skin that I've been experiencing of late, actually doing nudes again is a big step. For this reason alone it is a triumph. Additionally, thanks to everyone who has thus far commented and given me some great and supportive feedback! Finally...

I don't have a "perfect" body and tend to be quite curvy. This means that I don't look like, and never will look like, a "typical" model. That's not me. I have almost always been curvy, and have gained a bit of weight of late; however I'm still in a healthy weight range for my height and build...I've been struggling with this for a few months and have felt rather inadequate and unhappy with myself. My original plan for the new year was to lose weight. After much thought I decided to amend my resolution. I'm going to take care of myself. That means eating as healthy as possible without depriving myself of the joys of food. I will get exercise, but I refuse to spend money or precious time at a gym. I will get exercise by walking in nature, by dancing around with the children I work with and by generally enjoying life.
I will do my very best to avoid having "fat days" and focus on the importance of being happy and healthy in my own skin. I was going to buy a scale...that is no longer going to happen. I'm going to love my body as is, to the best of my ability, from now on. So, for all of you out there that tell me I'm beautiful...thanks...
For anyone out there who feels the need to judge me or any other model based on body type...keep it to yourself...we're already well aware of our flaws as I'm sure you are yours.

Love and hugs to all my supporters! Blessed be

The Goddess is alive and Magick is afoot...
