simplicity

jonny will check in with me before heading home from work, and if he senses that i am the "i am so overwhelmed and i forgot to eat today" me, he will suggest, "chicken, rice, broccoli for dinner?"

"yes, yes, yes," i will respond.

i love how this meal always fills me up with its simplicity and goodness.

see more food-related self-portraits over at self-portrait challenge.

(this is also a photo that shows you a pretty good angle of my new nina necklace. oh how i love it - the color is THE color...)

(this photo is also in exercise in letting go of all vanity as this angle of my double-chinned neck just makes me sigh. but here, in this little corner of the world, my little corner of the world, i invite myself, in this moment, to just let it go...)

Good for you for letting go. It feels good, doesn't it? And you are a beautiful girl from any angel. (And I'm not just saying that.)

[Tonia]

Or from any angle--sheesh, more coffee please . . .

Let's just let go!!!! xoxo

Your new necklace is dreamy, and it looks divine on you. And this picture...you know what I saw first and only? Those beautiful lips of yours...not a thought on your chin...seriously. ;-)

But yes, simplicity can be so very important, especially in those moments when we are completely overwhelmed. (okay, sometimes they are more than "moments")

I am exicted for you...have a wonderful week finishing up your creations. xoxo

Just letting go - good for you! I just started SPC this month and I shook through the whole experience of actually putting my face in photo for the first time.

Your necklace is lovely - and thank you for sharing the link to "Ornamental" - what a beautifully written and visual blog!

I REQUIRE double chins in all my friends (tee hee). When I look in the mirror and feel critical I like to ask myself, "so?" The only thing prettier than that necklace is you.
