So I got a request to post more. :) Now, it's just a matter of making the time to do so. Hopefully, I'll get a chance to expand on these thoughts I've been having regards unconditional acceptance of the self.
If we truly accepted and loved ourselves as we are, unconditionally, would we be so judging of others? Would we be so unaccepting of others?
Lately I've noticed that when I look at pictures of other people, including myself, I'll notice the extra weight, wrinkles, the negative or "unpretty" stuff first. Obviously, I've learned this through me life. I keep wondering though, what would it be like to look at a picture (or person), and just see pure beauty instead of initially picking apart everything that I percieve as being "wrong" or "ugly"? I did make this connection though, in many ways, I believe there is a distinct connection as to how I perceive myself. I find this interesting.

Ah, yet another reason I like being behind the lens instead of in front of it.
I simply hate seeing myself in a photo.
But I don't mind taking your photo at all!
Phil, you are too kind. And Stacie, I appreciate your openess and sharing on the topic.
Recently, I've just been more aware of these little things in my life, and finding a connection, that all seems to boil down to how I view or feel about myself. I think it's all a bit healing in a way. Hmmm... might have to expand on this in another post.
