My New Look ~~ Wakanda Warrior Woman

Here are photos of my new look and my artwork! Happy Dance!

Well Folks I’ve decided to embrace my gray/grey hair and the aging process. Yes I cut off all my hair very short something like the Warrior Women of Wakanda. My hair has undergone the changes of menopause, aging, stress, illness and disability resulting in thinning and hair loss. Those women over 50 understand what I’m talking about. If you are not yet 50 don’t worry age will catch up to you.

BTW, No I am not going to discuss my chronic illness and disabilities. That includes my vision loss. It is what it is. One does not have to look sick to be sick.
I do not want people’s pity so I will not entertain questions about my health. I find those questions…

My New Look ~~ Wakanda Warrior Woman

 

Well Folks I’ve decided to embrace my gray/grey hair and the aging process. Yes I cut off all my hair very short something like the Warrior Women of Wakanda. My hair has undergone the changes of menopause, aging, stress, illness and disability resulting in thinning and hair loss. Those women over 50 understand what I’m talking about. If you are not yet 50 don’t worry age will catch up to you.

 
BTW, No I am not going to discuss my chronic illness and disabilities. That includes my vision loss. It is what it is. One does not have to look sick to be sick.
I do not want people’s pity so I will not entertain questions about my health. I find those questions and comments annoying and upsetting therefore they will be deleted. 
Once you have a disability there are some days you might feel better but there is No get better.  Being that I’ve been dealing with health issues for over ten years I’ve accepted, adapted and for the most part moved on.  I will Not allow this blog to become a disease of the month club.
My Relationship with God is #1, Then My Brother Stephen, after that my creativity as expressed through my writing, photography (Please check out my blog, Roaming Urban Gypsy) and my artwork.

A Warrior Woman showcases her strengths not her weakness!

Instead I’m focusing on what I can still do. My abilities. Not my disabilities. Mostly my photography and Mixed Media Picture/Photo Collage skills.  I’m moving forward with my skills, talents, gifts and abilities.  Thinking Positive from now on Not negative!
 

Here are photos of my new look and my artwork! Happy Dance!

Cee's Fun Foto Challenge

This week the topic is Kind and Caring.  I find taking photos of kind moments are fun to capture.  Let’s see how creative you can be on for this week’s challenge.  Have fun with this week’s challenge.

My brother Stephen who is the very definition of kindness and caring.  Stephen is the greatest and most Awesome Autism Guy in the world.  He has helped me in many ways and does his best to reach out to others in need including the homeless.  Stephen does not view his Autism as a disability but as a way to channel his generosity, kindness, caring and compassion to others in greater need.  He is always there to assist his friends who live with him at his Group Home Residence and at his Training Center.  Stephen is a Transformer as he transforms every life he touches.  My brother Stephen is Love in Action.  Stephen is more than my brother ~~ Stephen is my best friend.
