You are beautiful, Gloria! Do not ever say that! You are beautiful outside, you are beautiful inside! Keep on smiling, Gloria! Nice work!

Thanks so much Nicole... but in this society, physical beauty is defined in such a way that I stuggle with seeing all that stuff reflecting back at me when I look in the mirror... I guess I've always have had self-esteem issues. In retrospect, I think I was blessed to have had to look inside myself to see what really matters from an early age. Even in this rendering, the model I used was a picture of me when I wore long braids and was about 50# thinner... even then, the whole physical beauty thing didn't appeal a whole lot to me. God has blessed me with a partner who now sees the total package: inside and out --- I am truly thankful to have such a LOVE in my life (at this ripe age of 55)!
