My Dears,
In keeping with my reflectiveness of late....another birthday passed.....dwelling far too much on the aging process and things being left behind (my teenage metabolism, unabashed spunkiness, perky boobies, hair that didn't require coloring, the excitement of finding love...over and over...haha!)
I have decided to not mourn these things....for, experience is not to be held on to, but to savor...the uncertainty of "seeing someone" has blossomed into a fulfilling marriage....my breasts allowed me to nourish a baby....graying hair and wrinkles are a small price to pay for the joy of continuing my experience here on Earth.
With this being said, and realizing that I need to focus on seeing myself in a positive light, rather than my skewed perception of what I think everyone else sees...I created this.....
How could we EVER have thought ourselves ugly ducklings...outcasts and worthless?!!!!

"Always a Swan"
8 x 10 inches on canvas
We all need reminders sometimes....that we don't have to feel like ugly ducklings.....in fact, no one can make us one, if we don't already believe it's true.
Inside us, lies a beauty and strength that is timeless....ageless....magical.....
We are unique....each of us, special.......with gifts and talents to share....an inner light radiating out through our words, our actions, our emotions....How could we EVER have thought ourselves ugly ducklings...outcasts and worthless?!!!!
When we are, and will always, always remain.....Swans!!
We are incredible! *group hug*
Thank you so much, Dear Family and Friends, for believing in me....I believe in you, too!
Lotsa Love,
Cam
