I felt so many emotions reading your story...you say so much in such few words -- very powerful. The photograph of you is unforgettable...you look as I see you today - happy, confident and empowered. So life took you on a 360 degree journey...might have been painful, but during that time, you were "collecting" all that you needed, in order to be who are you today, to give to the world what it needs and what you so kindly offer. Thank you for that sharing...it is simply beautiful.

I am probably around the same age, come to think of it, or a tiny bit older. We were visiting a farm. The children were playing "house" and I was dressed in a long dress and high heels. We decided that we needed a baby. Someone said, "Wouldn't it be groovy if we could use one of the new baby pigs!" Yes. I remember clearly that the word groovy was used. It was the 60's! To this day I've never met a challenge that I didn't like so I stomped out to the pig yard, in my long dress and high heels and caught a "baby." And that is "my picture." After reading Pam's post and all of the comments I have a new found appreciation for the power of that image. Thanks for sharing and encouraging me to remember. http://successinthesuburbs.blogspot.com/2009/10/pigs-heels.html I have one picture like that.
