Do you ever have these?...you post something then think "Why did I post that?!, I mean it does go out on the internet after-all."
I was feeling that way about my dress-up prompt yesterday..things like
Why did I say every Saturday?!!!
Are self portraits egotistical? Well are they?!!!!
I was all bummed out about my post while I wandered around in a used bookstore most likely looking all sad-sacked and then I saw this small rack of miscellaneous postcards. I started flipping through them with a woe is me energy, probably even sighing a lot and then this one below caught my eye and made my heart skip a beat

I thought it was so beautiful.
Then I read the back and found out it was a self-portrait by Edward Sheriff Curtis
Self-portraits are beautiful, They really do capture something special. What was I thinking! I was almost going to call the whole thing off!!!
I also read a passage in this in the book,by Julia Cameron Walking in This World
"Creativity is medicine. It is not dangerous or egotistical. It is life affirming and essential. The more we use it, the more we ground it and regularly access it, the better off we are. The "Healthier" we are."
I also got some super positive comments(thanks guys!)
Okay every Saturday, back on, who cares what anyone else thinks and who cares what my inner critic thinks(you'd think I would have kick this critic out years ago, how does it keep managing to sneak back in:)
