“Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?'
I started this last night & it wasn't originally going
to include a photo of myself..but the muse thought it should.
My fairy was right. Yup the beautiful lady in this tag
is myself. It was taken last August on a trip to
Vegas for a boudoir session. I was channeling my
inner goddess with this particular outfit.
Society tries its hardest to tear us women down.
It tries to make us feel like we are never good enough no
matter what we do. We don't have to listen ladies.
We can determine how we feel about ourselves.
And I am choosing to love myself. That while
I am not perfect, I am perfectly me. Our bodies
& our minds do a lot for us. Shouldn't we control
the narrative we tell ourselves? The scrap kit I used
is by Cutie Pie Scraps & is called Self-Love
Its such a pretty scrap
& perfect for designing with a self love them.

Cheeky Cupid by Curious Creative Dreams.
With her trusty bow & arrow, cupid decides
who shall fall in love with who.
Us humans are not always fond of cupid's choices however.
Love is much more complicated than simply being
hit by an arrow by the bringer of love. If only
it was that simple!! But there is a touch of romance
in the idea of cupid to help us find our true love.
