Keep It Sybil

One week ago my youngest son and I were running our regular errands and I decided to run a special errand.  That decision would prove to be a bit of a disastrous one. I have always been hyper aware of how my choices don't only affect me but is intertwined with others lives.  December 13th was not different in that regard. We are driving down the street and out of no where we get hit in the back and it sets us into a spin.  Jesus help is my quick prayer and then immediately I tell myself what I know; turn into the spin and apply slow but steady pressure to the brakes.  This works perfectly and we come to a stop before we get in a position of getting hit by oncoming traffic.  I check on my son then look up to realize the car that hit us has then crashed into a pole.  Immediate thought is I hope they too are ok.  I call my husband and mumble to him because I have never been in that sort of situation I am scared, shaking and numb.

Like most of America,  I love bright new things.  I, however, DO NOT LIKE SHOPPING!!! I at least, know in general, what I need from the store so I go in, get what I need and get out, as quickly as possible. I am not the person that wanders into stores because they have a great display window or the music has somehow drawn me in.

It's been a while since I have posted.  I must tell the truth and admit to the biggest reason being,  I have had zero inspiration.  Unfortunately, this fact coupled with other factors I won't go into, have kept me from being able to express myself.  Now,  I am beginning to realize that during this time I also lost my confidence.  So jumping back in with both feet is what seems to be the cure. I have plenty to say and so much to share with others who may need a pick me up or a little inspiration.   That being said... there is a difference between what is real and the reality in any given situation. Real is based on a persons perception.  Models know how to find their light and pose in the most flattering positions.  What is being seen on the picture is a real view of the subject however, the reality is quite different.  In the picture the subject appears to have luminous skin,  gray eyes,  strawberry blonde hair and a chi...
