So my friend Courtney (from college) sent me this book after I complained about having to walk in high heels at my bro/sis-in-law's wedding.. And while everything in it is pretty ridiculous in my opinion, I did have a good laugh about the specific chapter describing how to actually walk in heels - who knew there was a science to it?? (not me!)
In light of turning 27 though, I think this quote is fitting..
"Know, first, who you are; and then adorn yourself accordingly"
- Epictetus (From How to walk in high heels, a girls guide to everything: Camilla Morton)
Today you get a quote AND a picture.. because, the more I "know myself" (you'd think by 27 years I'd be an expert on myself - but I'm still learning things about me!) the more comfortable I'm becoming in my own skin..
I've always been a pretty confident person, but I've also been a pretty athletic person.. So I think the fear came from "loosing" my athletic-ness if I donned a skirt and became "girly".. I know, I know.. makes no sense, but the older I become, and the more I "know myself", the more I can see these silly conundrums in my thinking.. let's just say, "I not skurd no mo'.." At least, I don't think so.. I will now wear a skirt on my own free will..
Dresses, however, are a different story.. and heels, you can forget those - I'm tall enough, thankyouverymuch! :D
["The only people who can stand in heels all day, every day, are mannequins, and they are plastic and have screw-off feet." also Camilla Morton... maybe she's not as crazy as I thought..] ;)
Soli Deo Gloria
:D
For I have "tasted" the sweet Words of our God, and "seen" the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.. (Psalm 119:102-104, Psalm 27:11-14, Psalm 34:8) Once you've "Tasted and Seen" the goodness of the living God, it's hard to not tell of the things you know to be true.

hahaha love it! I love even more that you took pictures of yourself every day. I particularly enjoy the second one where you are stooping over to fit in the mirror.
