Writing 101: day-six

Camouflaged Image  

She had studied her face in the mirror so many times that she had lost count over the years. It is so hard to study a face that you particularly don’t like to look at. The nose was too big, the cheeks were too rounded, and there were way too many sunspots and that was just some of the features she did not like. Maybe it wasn’t the actual features themselves that she didn’t like but rather the camouflaged image that stared her down every single day.

Magazines, TV shows, school, work, friends and even some family members thought the human body should be show cased as a trophy and many would have freely told you, hers was not. Out casted many times by the power she had given to words, to whispers, hidden laughs, and those back piercing eyes. You must had…

Share Your World 2014: Week 23

This post was prepared for Cee’s Share Your World Challenge at

http://ceenphotography.com/2014/06/09/share-your-world-2014-week-23/

Head on over when your done here. I am quite sure you will find some very interesting answers to her questions there!

Here are my answers:

Would your rather be stuck in a small plane with mild turbulence for 2 hours or be a passenger in a car racing the Daytona 500?

I think either would be quite fun. However I have done the small plane turbulence thing so I choose the car race as it would be a new experience.

Would you rather be alone with nobody in the vicinity for one month or never be alone not even for a minute for one month?

Oh my goodness never being alone for a month sounds like somebody’s version of Hell (Oh yeah mine).

Would you like to sleep in a human size nest in a tree or be snuggled in a burrowed spot underground?

Oooo a burrow please. It would make me feel like a Hobbit.

In a car would you rather drive or be a passenger?

I like being driven. Not that that ever happens mind you but I like to be a passenger (or at least I use to)

Bonus question:  What are you grateful for from last week, and what are you looking forward to in the week coming up?

I am grateful for so many things you can find a few of them here:

I am so glad I got to take my mom and my daughter, Amanda, to the Moving Wall last week. It was a somber experience but a memory worth having. And we all got Banana Splits afterwards! 🙂

Just a note the home page for the wall is currently without a webmaster so you may have trouble loading that.
