In writing my book, I had to create a cover that seemed intriguing and alluring. Sharing beauty, femininity and nature as it is for woman about the well being and beauty that occurs through green living. I had an sketchy idea and when my dear friend and artistic photographer, Terree Yeagle came for sunrise the morning of the shoot, I knew we would just work together and figure out something that would work and show feminine beauty.
Skittish, for I am not a model and am a middle aged woman who like others has signs of living richly that creates stress on your body. Nervous yet wanting to show others that we all have our own incredible beauty, I just went for it. It was a transforming experience to say the least to expose yourself and try to share your soul and purpose with a camera.
Just a few days ago I got the disk of the shoot, to find the magical cover. I felt anxious, scared to see myself in the images. Unretouched except for the photo treatments of lighting and effects. The delight, the deep joy, the stirring of my femininity was so awakened in reviewing the photos taken. I was stunning, glamorous, beautiful, sexy, alluring, inspiring to my own self. True self esteem toward my body, my uniqueness, even my flaws settled in so deeply in seeing these images of myself. Beyond anything I can describe! It grounded me so deeply into my body, my svadisthanna chakra, the center of intuition, my essence, my creative center.
The joy to feel womanly, sacred, sensual, magnificent, beautiful, oh so wondrous a feeling!! So many of us are missing this our whole life! Yet to feel this was like building power within. Strength in myself, for myself, self love we all desperately are seeking. As woman, if we do not connect and ground into our body, into finding ourselves lovely where we are at this moment, we will never relax and feel safe enough to tap into our essence and creativity we were born to be.
I want to invite you all to do this for yourself! To get photos, in gorgeous clothes, in lingerie, or whatever way will tap you into your great beauty which is part of feminine power. The self love you will feel will carry your through life more magnetically, magically and in magnificence of your being. I posted these to inspire you to do such a thing for yourself. It is indeed one of the greatest experiences I have ever had in self love and esteem thus far.
We did it! Together! Recognizing and documenting beauty is my life's mission! Thrilled to be part of your journey as well!
